The staff is friendly and the food is good. We had the pre fixed menu but it had plenty of options. Plan to spend at least 2 hours on dinner!

We were on a champagne tour with Sparkling Tours (highly recommended) and stopped here for lunch. Wasn't expecting much. However, we had a great meal. Beautiful atmosphere, service, and food. All 7 of our dishes were good. Nice champagne list with helpful recommendations.

Awesome restaurant - classic french food poshed up just a little bit for us tourists. The wine list seems curated and thought through but is not very extensive...we did, however, find an absolute gem in the H. Goutorbe Cuvée prestige Had the three course menu - and everything was flawless and well presented....only downside was that the sole meuniere served to the table besides us looked absolutely gorgeous and we didn't get that :D Service is impeccable and French - not at all arrogant or posh, just well mannered and meticulous Total spend €179 for party of two incl. full bottle of local sparkling wine Would definitely go again if back in Epernay

Had dinner there the last night and it exceeded our expectations! The restaurant was recommended by a friend in Philadelphia, ans we were delighted with the food, wine, ambiance and the attention from Lieven, the chef/owner. Would highly recommend!

I had an excellent time with my daughter. The menu is simple and very tasty. We will go back next time we’re in Champagne.

Great restaurant for traditional French cuisine. The veal and dishes were both delightful. I recommend the duck terrine entrée which was lovely. For dessert, I had the croustillant aux figues which came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel. The mix of cold and hot was absolutely delightful!

Elegant place that had no problem with my shorts. FAST service with servers continually passing by and making sure you are taken care of. Excellent food and dessert. Beautifully designed lounge.
