Want to make your restaurant sound like a high-class establishment serving gourmet French cuisine? Call it "Chez X" (French for "X's Place" or "X's Home" or "At X's"). Related to the word "casa" in various other Romance languages such as Spanish and Italian, it's pronounced something like "shay." Bonus points if X is either a French name or a French-sounding real or nonsense word (e.g., Pierre, Jacques, Gaston). This naming scheme is used in real life also, although it's not known whether the fictional trope or the Real Life convention came first. This trope is often used ironically, or subverted by being used with a decidedly downscale or inappropriate name. The implication of high quality (or at least pretension) is coupled with the implication of high cost and social anxiety: expect dates or spouses to be tormented by concerns with inability to pay the bill, conform to the Dress Code, or understand the French terms on the menu. Amusingly, the French term is, in French usage, quite informal (as is bistro). See also French Cuisine Is Haughty. Contrast Greasy Spoon. |

The Simpsons: Parodied with a restaurant aptly named "Chez Guevara". They started off selling Argentinean cuisine, but switched to Cuban in the mid-1980s. There's also the episode in which Marge takes up bowling. One of her dinner suggestions is the "Chez Pierre", but this suggestion is rebuffed by Patty and Selma, who insist on going somewhere "fun" — the Singing Sirloin. |

Les 2 Minutes du Peuple: One of François Pérusse's most famous song is "Snack-Bar Chez Raymond" ("Snack-Bar Chez Léon" in European French), featuring the titular snack-bar. Because Pérusse is French-Canadian (and has a huge following in France) this trope more accurately features a lowbrow Greasy Spoon rather than an upscale restaurant. | |
