About
A single five-course French dinner at 99,000 won, cooked by a French chef-owner in a small third-floor room above Noksapyeong. Reservation only.
Chez Nous means "our place," and the room earns it: a small third floor above Noksapyeong that a French chef, Mathieu, runs with his Korean wife, counter seats facing the open kitchen and a couple of tables behind. There is exactly one booking - a five-course dinner at 99,000 won that turns over with the season - and despite the homely framing it does not cook like home food; Mathieu came up through starred kitchens and hotels in France. Recent courses have run cuttlefish with a Korean melon gazpacho, a slow-cooked egg buried under kabocha espuma and Emmental, cod-stuffed paprika with romesco, then beef tenderloin with tarragon mousseline, closing on a lemon meringue tart that regulars say they would order whole if they could. The truffle beef tartare is a 14,000 won add-on and the dish people come back for. Since the chef turned up on Culinary Class Wars season 2 as "Bonjour," a table went from easy to weeks out.

Local tips
- Book through Naver Reservation and book early. Since the TV appearance, walk-ins are not a thing.
- Add the truffle beef tartare (14,000 won). It is the one dish regulars order every single visit.
- Ask for a counter seat when you book - you watch the whole course being cooked in front of you.
- Last order is 20:00, so the 18:00 seating is the safe one to take.
- Corkage is 50,000 won per bottle, wine only, no whiskey. There is no parking - use the paid lot nearby.
- The seasoning is French-salty by Korean standards. That is the style here, not a slip.
