Chez nous in Camden

The boss allows himself to call out loud and on loudspeaker right next to us. He doesn't respect customers. The beans are cold, and the sausage tastes very bad. The waitress is welcoming and very kind. Flee this place, poor fools!

We live in the neighbourhood and just discovered this gem.The food is very good and the atmosphere is relaxed. The ladies who serve are very nice and friendly and we got chatting. My 13 Yr old daughter finished a whole plate of food in so many years. Unless one is too fussy by nature, try the cafe out.

Great spot for breakfast and coffee, The lady that runs the place is super ! She makes the place.

Live Chez Nous cafe. Staff always very pleasant too.

I love the food here. Lovely lady served nice food.

The place was quiet and service was good. It wasnt busy. Food was tasty and good and quality/price was right.

A warm welcome and great food. Highly recommended!

Excellent service, very reasonably price and probably the best halloumi I’ve had outside of Cyprus!

Liked it here a lot. Very reasonably priced food which was serviced quickly, and the outdoor seating area was enjoyable. Good selection of dishes available on the menu as well. Will return here next tome I’m in the area.

Lovely home made food and very special, homely atmosphere . Real family restaurant

Service and atmosphere were great unfortunately the red velvet cake was dry and not worth the money. The apple pie was good.

The food was dire, I asked for mustard and was given a opened pot of mustard with a spoon in the pot. We left food on our plates, its the worst so called restaurant I ever been to. A better term for this place is a greasy spoon outlet, certainly not a restaurant. I have had better cooked food from a army ration pack. YUK

i’ve been coming here cause my friend was working there i’ve just had the coffee but the food always looked mediocre. Now that my friend has no contact with this place anymore i feel like its okay to expose them. First of all overall a lot of sanitary issuesin the kitchen, the owners scammed my friend and they didnt pay for the service. Atmosphere wise its not that bad, nothing special but it feels like a place you wouldnt want to stay at.

I used to come and sit in here to have a quiet breakfast but recently there’s always a member of staff sat in the space loudly watching TV. It feels a bit like going into a run down living room. I’ve also had food poisoning here once and they often get the order wrong. I wish there was another old school cafe in Belsize Park.

Ordered the tomato pasta - the pasta was overcooked & the sauce had no taste. It was really disappointing so unfortunately left it. We asked for chillis and was offered nando sauce.

all we wanted was a solid bacon sandwich & some coffee and we got exactly that. such a cute place, thank you

Good, basic, reasonably priced food. Main course and a drink £11.00. I wanted a hot, 'cheap' meal so had the double eggs, beans and chips, with a coffee; all of which was perfectly acceptable. The waitress was very pleasant, attentive and proffesional with me and other customers who clearly took liberaties! She brought my milky coffee in a mug, with a big handle, just as I requested. I felt the decor of the cafe was rather dark, lacked luster and the atmosphere was a bit somber, but generally everything was clean and well organized. The smell of cooking oil was rather over powering, so I left as soon as I had finished eating and didn't order a desert or 2nd coffee. Not sure if I would go here again?

Nos atendieron de lo mejor,trato familiar y en todo momento hacen por entender totalmente recomendable y para volver sin duda

Redelijke keuken, vriendelijke bediening.

This place is not good at all.If i cluld five 0 stars I would. My friend ordered a “kief”( probably I spell it wrong) and it looked like exactly the same as the one we buy at Tesco!!! Came overcooked! I ordered a vegetarian omelette and it was gross. the waitress said the v omelette suppose to be made with pepperoni, mushroom and onions. The onions were 3/4 of my omelette cut thick and undercooked. I left it all there. When the waitress come to take our plates asked why I didn’t finish it because I was less hungry then I expected, (I didn’t wanted to cause any trouble in front of my friend) and she replies “if weren’t hungry why dis you order it?” and then leave the table barking behind my back. Very rude ! If i could give zero star I would !

This was the worst food I have ever been served in a restaurant. We attended here this evening with family after a long day and have left starving and disappointed. Every piece of food looks as though its been bought from Iceland and is rubbish processed crap cooked poorly. Avoid this place. Waitress was lovely, feel sorry for her.

The food was absolutely dreadful, 5 meals hardly touched, just completely not edible. Hopefully we don't wake up tomorrow with food poisoning 🤢

The waitress was really nice to us, welcomed us with a big smile and the food was delicious. This place made my day

Food is poor, i asked for egg Benedict. They were tiny Engels on my plates. Service is also poor, waited 20 mins to ask for a bill, I had to call them at the end. Can’t recommend at all

Comida pésima, vieja y recalentada.... La peor lasaña de mi vida - no comestible

Terrible service. I used to enjoy coming here but sadly the service has become progressively worse. I sat outside as I had my dog with me. No one came to give me a menu or take my order. I eventually went in and grabbed my own menu. When the server finally did come shewould go nowhere near my table (presumably because I had my dog). She was also rude and acted as though my presence there was an inconvenience. I ordered a dessert. I went inside to pay and I noticed my meal was £ 2.50 more than stated on the menu. I politely queried this and instead of explaining it to me the server raised her voice and exclaimed “WITH CREAM!” I was taken aback as to why a dollop of cream would cost £2.50 but was quite embarrassed so paid the amount and left. I thanked the server and she was still rude to me. I had been there a couple weeks prior and this same server served me and she was equally as rude. I hate complaining but as this is the second time I felt I should say something on here.

Im in love with this place . Amazing service . And cosy atmosphere. To start the day like this is just perfect . Thank you so much beautiful people !

Nettes kleines Cafe und sehr nette Inhaber.

Please DO NOT eat here. My partner has been sick with food poisoning after eating here for lunch yesterday. 7 hours of sickness and the manager was incredibly rude, when I rang this morning to question it. It was the only thing my partner ate yesterday, so we know for definite. After looking in to it... he isn't the only one. 1 STAR FOOD HYGIENE RATING!!! Disgusting. This place needs to be shut down and I've reported it to Camden Council. Thank GOD we didn't bring our babies 🙏

Lovely little spot just across from Belsize station. We popped in after staying in the area for some breakfast before heading home. Cosy atmosphere and we were well looked after by the lovely staff. We both ordered eggs benedict with a tea and apple juice. The food was just what we needed (even if I was the only one with the runny eggs). Was warm inside so not sure if the ceiling fan worked but did not ruin our visit. Price was more than reasonable as came to around £20 altogether. Would recommend if in area

Absolutely disgusting - please avoid and don’t go, this place is a health hazard. Ordered the trout, it arrived and was rotten (stank and tasted of mould), served with cold, half cooked chips. The waitress was very apologetic but the manager denied it and had a go at us. Needless to say we left without eating and still paid ! Place was swarming with flies too.

Had a food poisoning. Place had small flies flying too.

A usefull place to eat in belsize park

Very friendly staff. Good service and food

Cosy little joint opposite Belsize Park Underground station. Popped in on the off-chance that they might do takeaways....and they do! Went home with scampi, chips and salad (currently £12.95) Friendly service, and quite quick. Scampi very well done, as were the chips. Just what was needed. I also found that the salad worked really well when I added my own herring with dill marinade.

If I could give zero stars I would, we ordered x2 lasagnas no tomato base and we had to ask what meat it was, what ever was served to us wasn’t edible, avoid at all costs food was awful! Would have asked for a refund but didn’t want the hassle!

Had the lasagne absolutely disgusting the meat was out of date no sauce the food was very bland and overpriced for portion sizes

Lovely friendly staff and food so good it makes u do a little dance 💃

Le personnel a été super accueillant et très sympa. Côté nourriture rien d'exceptionnel mais bon à des prix très corrects

It isn't horrible but it's not white table cloth with knock your socks off service and food either. Prices are reasonable.

Rotten food, avoid at all cost. I ordered tortellini with pesto, which was poor quality. I asked for grated cheese to sprinkle on top and was brought expired, rotten, mouldy cheese twice (!). Health bomb alert. Inexcusable.

Very average food, excellent service. This is not a French cafe. It is Turkish. Good location across from the train station, has character, shame about the food.

The food is great, cheap too. The service is very friendly. The only negative is that we had to wait about an hour for our breakfast, a little understaffed. My meal also turned up with chips instead of beans as I ordered, but the chips were great. Well worth a visit!

Had everything we needed. Good food, great customer service: quick, efficient, and timely. Friendly staff and perfect location opposite hotel and 2 mins walk from the tube station.

Sehr nette Atmosphäre, Klasse Frühstück!

Friendly Service, good value and tasty food. Well worth a visit.

Our go to place in Belsize Park. Great food, great service, good prices. Try it.

Lovely French cafe feeling with Turkish owners serving English breakfast for German visitors. Went twice on our weekend trip to London because we liked the atmosphere so much.

Very good food at reasonable prices but can get busy because of that Highly recommended

Average food, had dinner on Friday evening then breakfast on Saturday. Spaghetti in tomato sauce was slightly spicy. French toast disappointing, don't know how they cooked it but not like usual. But pleasant enough little place. Indoor seat cushions didn't look too clean. Was nice sitting outside for breakfast under the trees.

Have eaten here several times. Good choice of menu . Nice staff . Would recommend.

Absolutely great my sister took me in London. She goes there a lot. Because they are Excellent.

This is a lovely place - friendly service, pleasant atmosphere, excellent and reasonably priced food. It’s my restaurant of choice when I am in Belsize Park with friends, which happens quite often. For that, I would give it five stars – but there is a ‘but’… Today, and on the previous visit, with summer here at last, the door was left open. Outside, on the pavement, there are a few tables where diners can smoke. If anyone does smoke there though, particularly at one of the tables on the left of the door (looking out to the street from inside) all the cigarette smoke is sucked into the restaurant and in a few moments you are sitting having your lunch surrounded by a stenchy miasma of cigarette odour. This happened on a previous visit a few weeks ago and we mentioned it to the waitress. Today, the same thing happened. On both occasions it ruined our lunch. I spoke to the waitress again today and she said she would mention it to the manager. I don’t feel inclined to go back there unless this gets sorted out – a pity because it’s a great place and, as mentioned, the food is excellent. Another slight problem today: we were welcomed by a charming waitress and ordered our food. Apart from the cigarette smell that drifted in twice during our meal, all was well. By the time we finished our main courses (at about 3:30) the waitress who welcomed us had gone off shift and the other one had secreted herself at the counter right at the back of the restaurant, where she remained with her head down. We were never asked whether we wanted a dessert or coffee and having sat there for another half hour we wanted to pay and leave. The waitress was still ensconced behind the counter looking down so we could not attract her attention; in the end, after another fifteen minutes chatting, my friend had to go back to tell her we wanted to pay. She was perfectly charming and friendly, and most sympathetic about the cigarette smoke problem, but I think she should have been keeping her eye on the restaurant; I might have been tempted to have a dessert if asked. I would like to go back there and if there is any evidence that the cigarette problem has been fixed, I shan’t hesitate…

Quick service and good food at a very reasonable price. Have also bumped into Damien Lewis a couple of times!

Enjoyable atmosphere, peaceful with a nice vibe inside. Good location.

Been going there for years. Never disappointed.

Lovely and cozy place with its charming character. The food was delicious with reasonable prices.

Good hearty breakfast. I love going there as it's a family cafe and want it to be there for all time. Love the place I like it when the owners are there, sense of local community

Went for Sunday morning brunch with a group of friends. What a win. Drinks were great to start. Good sized orange juices and a peppermint tea - in a big tea pot with fresh mint. Very good. I had the veggie breakfast which was a very good size , well cooked and delicious. My companions had even better stuff (I wished I had theirs) , the eggs florentine was a good size with nice accompany mushrooms and not drowned in hollandaise sauce as it sometimes can be. The halloumi and avocado also looked absolutely delicious. This seems like the perfect family run place with friendly service and a nice feel to it. Not too bright and flash but great rustic food I wish I lived closer.

We had breakfast here this morning. The lady who served us was super friendly, the portions were incredibly generous. The coffee was very nice as were the banana and chocolate pancakes! The atmosphere was relaxed and positive. A great way to start the day thank you 😊

We popped in on our walk home. The place looked cute and quiet. However the food was awful. The penne was soggy and lacked sauce. The Chicken Kiev was overcooked and hard. And the Coke was flat. The salad was the only decent part.

Lovely and warm friendly cafe. I go there all the time.

Lovely little cafe with food cooked to order

I've never been in there but Google Maps won't let me say so!

A varied and eclectic choice of dishes that does not necessarily reflect the French name of the restaurant... because this is not a French restaurant but one that owns its origin in the kitchen to Turkey. Food was good, but the service was not optimum, where we needed to ask many time for it. Though a good evening, with competitive prices.

This cafe is a hidden gem. The menu is extensive, which in my experience is often a sign of low quality. After all, how can a cafe serve both good felafel and lasagna? Well, the chez nous cafe can!! I have dined here multiple times and ordered variety of dishes and salads and the food has always been unpretentiously fresh and delicious. The outdoor sitting is cozy and the staff are friendly. Would definitely recommend and I will keep coming back!

Lovely breakfast and good service

Delicious food, large portions and excellent service

Lovely little place , staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was great and good price to. Would visit again if im in the area :)

Lovely hot meal at a reasonable price, with a big salad 🥗. One of my favourite local restaurants

Excellent food, especially the omlettes.Thoroughly enjoyable evening with friendly service. So much so we went 2 nights running eating Al fresco.

I've come here on and off over the years and it has been constantly good, except for today that is. I thought I would treat my mum for lunch, but before we could take our coats off and sit down, both the waitress [turns out to be a clueless waitress!] and an older lady were upon us asking what drinks we would like. we both had to repeat our order to the waitress, my mum ordered spag bol and I ordered veal milanese, when it eventually came [customer who came in long after us got his meal long before we did!] to my surprise my veal came with chips not spaghetti! having waited so long I let pass as I did'nt want mum to wait any longer. however, worse still was the veal was tough and not tender. when paying I wasn't asked how our meals were as I would have told her!

TL;DR: the "fresh" food was rotten, I tell the owner I didn't want to pay the full amount, the staff got offended when I pointed the issue out I used to live in the area. Chez Nous had good coffee and a chilled, cosy atmosphere, so I used to go regularly and enjoy it. Now that I moved out of the area, I went back to recapture those good times. I sat down and waited ten minutes until the staff realised a new customer had showed up. The first server was nice and personable. I asked for avocado and salmon wrap with chips and a mocha. The mocha was good. I got the wrap and it came with salad. The server who brought it was an older woman who worked there almost daily/daily. She was different to the first server, who was about in her twenties. I let the server know I ordered chips and she apologised and came back with them. I regard myself as a patient and chilled person. When something is inconveniencing but I know I can live with it, I let it go easily. For instance, the chips were immediately cold. As soon as the server left I tried one and realised that. I let it go: the chips were still nice, after all. Without looking at the filling (because I do not expect my food to be bad), I eat the first half of the wrap. I look down next at the second half. Its filling was facing me and I could see how the avocado was BROWN. Water off a duck's back, I thought, and while that's annoying, I just pushed it aside and told myself to tell the server that the cafe needs to recheck the quality of its fresh ("fresh") food. After five minutes, I think to myself, "The wrap's still here. Maybe if I take the avocado out, I can finish it. I'm paying for it after all." But, because I didn't want to be fooled twice, I made sure to check my food before I eat it, so I pulled the wrap apart. The salmon was BROWN. There was white, milky residue in the creases too. Any Google search will tell you that that salmon had gone off. Having reached the end of my rope, I decide to tell the server (older woman) that I did not want to pay for the wrap. I said the salmon and avocado were rotten. Right then and there, I felt ill at the thought of having eat the first half of the wrap, knowing it could very well end up giving me food poisoning. She said that it was salmon, and I told her it was rotten and that I did not want to pay for it but I will pay for the mocha. She said okay and took the plate away. When she leaves, I ask for the bill and get up to pay for it. When she brings me the receipt, I see that she is charging me full price. I told her I do not want to pay the full price for something that could give me food poisoning. She said it was salmon and salmon looked like that. She ended up leaving to the kitchen. The younger woman server from before said that the issue was that I had already eat the meal so it was unjustified for me to not pay the full price. I showed her how in the picture I eat the first half of the wrap before I realised THEIR error and I had the fries (the only thing edible). I did tell her that I was happy paying for the coffee and half the price of the wrap. The older woman returned with pink salmon in a packet. I could not tell if the packet had not yet been opened. She said that the salmon I had came from that packet and she implied that the BROWN I saw was part of the natural colouring. Since I was born in 1994 and in fact not yesterday, I told her that I was happy paying half price + the mocha. She ended up letting me do that. The wait for the receipt to print was the longest, most awkward five seconds of my life. The older woman said as she pulled out the receipt, "You will find this problem with every cafe you go to." I told her, "Well, that is the problem then." I will always express the lack of humility, the lack of freshness, and the lack of customer care whenever I tell someone about Chez Nous. Approximately four hours on, I am starting to feel ill in my stomach. I love paying £6 for food poisoning.

Lovely and cosy place. The food is great and the staff are very friendly and genuinely welcoming. Nice, warm and relaxing atmosphere.

The food was good and I had a good time there.

I was completely ignored while waiting for the order. No acknowledgement whatsoever. I just left after 10 minutes.

Came here a few weeks ago with a friend, order taken by a lovely young girl who was sweet and helpful. Only to then see her being shouted out by an older woman who I’ve seen work there regularly. Young girl was very embarrassed and apologised to me for putting my tea in ‘the wrong sized cup’ which looked like an absolutely fine, regular sized, tea cup to me. Food was decent but this experience means I will never want to pay for food where the workers aren’t treated nicely, ever again. Avoid😡!

Nicely cooked and presented food. Friendly and pleasant. Important at this time for staff in cafes who wear face coverings (ie not exempt) to do so consistently, covering nose and mouth.

Nice food and nice staff, will defo go again 🤗

Nice place to grab a coffee and have a chat with friends. Staff were very friendly.

Great coffee and an excellent eggs Benedict. The staff are more than helpful and are very attentive. There's a really nice outside eating area, but you are on a main road so bear that in mind.

Great breakfast, huge portions , good quality and polite staff, high recommend.

Popped in for breakfast over the weekend as we were staying nearby and what a gem! Everything was perfect, the staff/decor/good quality food makes this place the whole package. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area!

What a lovely place really nice family run place ....and my avocado on toast was delicious...Thank you

Brave little, atmospheric cafe. Good outside seating. Coffee not brilliant. Main food good.

Lovely place, nice service, tasty food
