Restaurants in Champagne

  1. A

    Glue Pot

    Only the French genius for eclecticism could have created this Irish pub, which doubles as a Tex-Mex restaurant that serves burgers (the Big Boy has an egg on top) and pizzas to patrons seated on bright red banquettes under fake Tiffany lamps. The menu is in English with French translations. Believe it or not, the food is pretty good!

    Au Jardin Gourmand

    Elegant without being overly formal, this intimate restaurant – with a summer terrace – uses only the freshest ingredients for its classic French and champenois dishes; among the latter are no fewer than 11 varieties of andouillette. About 20 vintages from the estimable wine list are available by the glass.

    Le Bocal

    Tastefully decorated in the colours of the North Atlantic, this unpretentious fish and seafood restaurant has just five tables and two hot plats du jour (dishes of the day). Enter through the fish shop, where odours of the sea will engulf your senses. Three hot oysters cost €6 and a glass of Champagne is €8.

    Le Continental

    La Mignardise

    Traditional French cuisine, fresh and seasonal, is elegantly served beneath ancient wooden beams, 19th-century mouldings and ultramodern halogen lamps. The chef is a particular fan of fish, with plenty of mains from the briny deep.

    Bistrot Le 7

    One of the restaurants at Hôtel Les Berceaux has earned a Michelin star; the other (this one) serves excellent French cuisine amid semi-formal, Mediterranean-chic decor. The escargots in a basil, butter and cream sauce are superior, and the chocolate desserts are to die for.
