An absolutely delicious and lovely experience in the gardens of Champagne: Restaurant Le Jardin Les Crayères (21. May 2023)
After a visit at the Joseph Perrier champagne yard, it was time for lunch. There are not too many options in that area, but thanks to the Guide Michelin app, I found the Le Jardin Les Crayères as a Bib Gourmand place. It is highly recommended that you book in advance and call (as we […]
A countryside restaurant with a Michelin star: Restaurant Le Grand Cerf (20. May 2023)
After L’Assiette Champenoise the evening before, I was a bit curious to see how Le Gran Cerf with ‘only’ 1 Michelin Star would do. And, in a nutshell, one can say it’s a ‘countryside restaurant with a Michelin star’. The “Menu Dégustation” (EUR 148.00) started with a “tartelet”, which was quite nice and enjoyable. Then, […]
A lovely place but rather average food: Restaurant L’Édito (20. May 2023)
When you are looking to avoid a tourist trap while being located at the main square of Chalons-en-Champagne, don’t stay at the main square. The L’Édito looked relatively promising, and I must admit that my burger was actually quite decent. The food of the others, not so much. The “Double Édito Burger Royal (viande de […]
Well-deserved 3 Michelin stars with an unacceptable waiting time for the cheese waggon: Restaurant L’Assiette Champenoise (19. May 2023)
It is a bit ago since I’ve last been to a restaurant with 3 Michelin stars, so I was looking forward quite a bit to dine at the L’Assiette Champenoise. When you enter the place, you can see that quite some thought has been put into the overall setup. At the entrance, there is modern […]
Quite a lovely place but you absolutely need to book in advance: Restaurant Le Harold (19. May 2023)
It is highly recommended to book at the Le Harold in advance since the place is rather packed. And when you book, you have to make it clear that you prefer to sit outside in the sun. We only got a table in the sun by negotiating a bit with the waitress, as everything was […]
It is quite an experience but not necessarily the one you would hope for: Restaurant L’Experience (18. May 2023)
Sometimes there are moments, which surprise you quite a bit, like the fact that you won’t find a table for two but one for five. Two people were coming in right before our group, and they were like “nah, no space for the next 30′”, and when we asked for five, they were like, yeah, […]
Not easy to find a nice place to enjoy a glass of champagne: Restaurant Le Continental (18. May 2023)
It is not really that easy finding a nice place for an apéro in Reims. So, finding something, which worked, took a while. We also went for a platter of “fromage à tout heure” (EUR 18.00), which was okay and better than expected. The place is okay, but not overly appealing. What was truly confusing […]
Quite decent breakfast but nothing special: Restaurant La Grande Georgette @ La Caserne Chanzy Hôtel & Spa (18. May 2023)
The selection of dishes at the La Grande Georgette isn’t really overwhelming. You have a bit of everything, which is quite nice, but it is really not like you’re getting a lot of anything. I mean, you will find somehow cold cuts, a few cheeses, even salmon … … as well as a few pastries […]
