O começo
Chez Michou was created in the year 1983 thanks to a great idea suggested by Mrs. Michelle Faure, also known as Michou in the family circles. She is Françoise and Tif Nys’ mother and it was her idea to prepare the delicious pancakes, originated in France and Belgium, in a moment when Búzios had very few options in the area of gastronomy. With the first professional griddle brought from Europe, Chez Michou opened the first small window to Rua das Pedras, offering pancakes and pastries.
The year after, Michel Vandenbosch, and later, in 1985, the Argentine brothers Mario and Bubú Fernandez, joined the firm and are successfully together until today. It was then that the Group Chez Michou was established in Búzios.
It was a cheeky, amusing and bold group of people, coming from different parts of the world to gather local and foreign people around a small business, sharing the same dreams and the joy of living.

With the change of address, to Renata’s, a house painted with yellow and light blue, and small sea shells in the garden, also came the first TV, a fireplace and a BBQ to enjoy the winter cold.
People met just for small talk, to eat a pancake and listen to good music. With the same casual and laid back ambiance the first thematic parties were created, later increasing in numbers as a result of their success. Any reason was good enough to celebrate birthdays, children day, Halloween, June Festivals and many others.

At the right time, the year of 1986 made it possible to buy the house next door, that after closing with a very particular party – were people even shot chocolate to each other – reopened at the current address with a larger structure. A generous counter, tables in the street and very lively staff.
