The Top 29 Places to Eat Near Les Avisés

Rank 2. Alcôve
Modern New American
A bow window framing the vineyards and landscaped grounds sets the tone for this Michelin-starred hotel restaurant in Champagne country. The dining room is bright and modern, and the cooking matches that composure: the chef's menu moves with real ambition through smoked fish, delicate meats, and citrus-forward desserts. Lunch runs in a more relaxed, bistronomic register for those not ready to commit to the full performance.

Rank 3. 75 centilitres
Natural Wine Bar

-
Rank 5. Le Royal
French
The dining room ceiling is hung with 36 blown-glass orbs meant to suggest champagne bubbles, which sets the tone nicely. This is a Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant in a luxury hotel on the vine-covered slopes between Reims and Épernay, and the kitchen leans into that heritage with seasonal, classically rooted French cooking. The cellar leans into it even harder. Napoleon allegedly stopped here once, which the room has not let anyone forget.
-
Rank 6. Assiette Champenoise
Modern French
Arnaud Lallement grew up in this place, literally, before taking it over and earning three Michelin stars. The fine dining room outside Reims runs on classic French instincts, generous sauces, and an obsessive tenderness toward ingredients, with Brittany and Champagne both making quiet appearances on the plate. Lallement has a reputation for working the room himself, which at this level feels almost radical. Dress well and clear the evening.
-
Rank 7. Le Grand Cerf
Classic French
A Michelin-starred inn sitting on the road between Reims and Épernay, which means the wine list writes itself. The dining room goes pale wood and candlelight after dark, leaning hard into classic French formality without apology. The kitchen runs on luxury-register produce, the kind of menu where lobster and truffle show up as a matter of course. Game season is a serious occasion here.
-
Rank 8. Le Parc Les Crayères
Modern French
A small château in manicured grounds that once belonged to a champagne heiress sets the scene for one of Reims's grandest dining rooms. Modern French fine dining with two Michelin stars, anchored by a wine list running to nearly 900 champagnes, which feels either extravagant or perfectly logical depending on where you're sitting. The kitchen leans refined but generous, and the pastry work is light enough to make you reconsider the cheese course.
-
Rank 9. Jérôme Feck
Modern French
A Michelin-starred restaurant inside Châlons-en-Champagne's storied Hôtel d'Angleterre, where the chef came up through Épernay and Reims before landing here to cook modern takes on Champagne's culinary traditions. The kitchen leans on sauces built around bright acidity or a quiet smokiness that keeps the main ingredient honest. A next-door bistro handles the more casual traffic, so this room is the one where people sit down and mean it.
-
Rank 10. Racine
Creative Japanese
Bay windows look out onto a Japanese garden in the middle of Reims, which sets the tone for everything that follows. This is a small, spare fine dining room where a Japanese chef lets aromatic herbs, condiments, and vegetables do the arguing alongside langoustine and lobster, the whole thing landing somewhere elegantly uncategorizable. The wine list runs to 250 champagnes, because of course it does. Two Michelin stars.
-
Philippe Mille cooks over vine branches here, a detail that tells you everything about how seriously this two-Michelin-star restaurant takes the Champagne terroir. Named for one of the region's rarest grape varieties, it's a fine dining room done in muted naturals, with a champagne list that would make a sommelier emotional. The chef brings seafood into conversation with the landscape, and his touch with pepper and citrus is the kind of thing people drive to Reims for.

Across from the Boulingrin covered market in a quietly handsome Art Deco building, L'ExtrA is a modern restaurant with an unusual backstory: most of the team, from kitchen to floor, is neurodivergent, part of a social inclusion project run by an experienced pair. The room is spare and contemporary, the cooking precise, and the service lands as genuinely warm rather than performed. A proper sit-down lunch or dinner, not a quick bite.

Rank 22. La Table Saint Thomas
Traditional French
-
Rank 23. Le Moulin Babet
Traditional French
-
Rank 24. La Table de Courcelles
Modern Cuisine
A glass-roofed dining room looking out over formal gardens and a canal sets the scene at this Michelin-starred restaurant inside a Grand Siècle château in the Champagne countryside. The chef, originally from Sorrento, runs a kitchen where French structure and Italian instinct quietly negotiate, with local seasonal ingredients doing most of the talking. Over 700 wines on the list, which is the kind of detail that makes the drive from anywhere feel like good planning.
-
Rank 25. Bistrot DuPont
Traditional French
-
-
A half-timbered house on the village square, the kind of building that makes you feel like you've wandered into a postcard, turned into a modern French restaurant with exposed beams and contemporary furniture. The chef came up through serious kitchens before opening this place, and the cooking shows it: precise, seasonal, quietly ambitious. Lunch menus keep things accessible; evenings tip toward something more elaborate.
