Maison d'hôtes "La Pause Champenoise"

You might say that Arnaud Lallement grew up at Assiette Champenoise, which was originally opened by his parents. Trained by the best in the business (Roger Vergé, Michel Guérard, Alain Chapel), he cooks high-calibre cuisine – inspired by the classics, generous and above all very tasty – and lets his Breton roots (on his mother's side) shine through. A larger-than-life presence on the restaurant floor, and supported by a warm and dedicated team, Lallement loves to engage with guests and treat them to simply good food. The dishes are accessible and enhanced by memorable sauces; ingredients are t

Once Louise Pommery's mansion, this small château (early 20C) standing in superb grounds exudes classic elegance. Using premium ingredients, chef Christophe Moret concocts refined, approachable dishes that are as generous as they are delicious – spider crab infused with sea fennel, or glazed mallard duck with juniper and elder. Rosalie Boucher's desserts are cleverly devised for maximum lightness. These gems feature in the various set menus but also – an increasingly rare pleasure – on the à la carte menu. The wine list includes almost 900 champagnes. Superb guestrooms and suites.

Here in the heart of Reims, there is definitely something interesting afoot. This small restaurant has a delightfully pared-back and contemporary interior with bay windows looking out onto a charming Japanese garden. The setting is in perfect harmony with the cuisine of Japanese chef Kazuyuki Tanaka. He crafts elegant and creative dishes that are rife with different flavours and influences, using aromatic herbs, vegetables, plants, condiments etc. Each one is a surprise, not only in terms of the exceptional quality of the ingredients (such as the langoustine or lobster) but also by their techn

After many years at Le Parc des Crayères, ‘Meilleur Ouvrier de France’ Philippe Mille has set up shop in this stylish abode dating back to 1874. In a contemporary interior done out in natural shades and strewn with references to the vineyards of Champagne, the chef from Sarthe finetunes a culinary vision that is rooted in the Champagne terroir. He cooks over vine branches and draws inspiration from the seven grape varieties (including Arbane), to which he adds first-class seafood ingredients (monkfish, turbot, lobster etc). He signs dishes of breathtaking precision demonstrating standout talen

Just a stone’s throw from Place Royale and the cathedral, this local culinary landmark sports a stylish fashionable interior. It provides the perfect playground for chef Benjamin Andreux, who unveils his ambitious vision of fine dining in which seafood plays the leading role. The epitome of intelligent creativity, suavely crafted into original dishes and backed up by high-flying execution, all of which in line with the seasons.

The little sister of the Château les Crayères, housed in an outbuilding in the park, is a smart, very contemporary and elegant brasserie with its own veranda and terrace just opposite the herb garden. Flavoursome seasonal cooking.

The village of Chigny-les-Roses in the heart of the Montagne de Reims is the site of this restaurant in a former classroom, which is, indeed, entirely hemmed in by vineyards. Chef Benjamin Gilles can be seen in the kitchen through a window in the dining room. Now his own boss, he signs modern dishes overflowing in fresh flavours and enhanced by a zest of creativity. Vegetables and fruit feature prominently in his culinary score through a variety of preparations (raw, cooked, pickled).
