Thai cooking in the heart of Champagne country is an unlikely proposition, yet Cook'in on Rue Porte Lucas has held a Michelin Plate for two consecutive years, signalling consistent kitchen standards at a mid-range price point. It occupies a distinct niche in Épernay's dining scene, offering something the town's French-focused restaurant list does not.

Épernay, France
A Michelin Selected property on Épernay's southern edge, Hostellerie Briqueterie trades the town's champagne-house grandeur for a quieter residential scale.

Épernay, France
Selected by the Michelin Guide for 2025, LOISIUM Wine Hotel Champagne sits at 1 Allée de la Sapinière in Épernay, the production capital of the appellation.

A Michelin Selected maison de charme on rue Léon Bourgeois in the heart of Épernay's Champagne country, Maison À Deux Mains occupies a small-scale, design-conscious niche that sits apart from the region's grander château hotels.

Épernay, France
Michelin Selected and positioned on Rue des Minimes in the heart of Épernay, Margaux sits at a comfortable remove from the Avenue de Champagne's tourist traffic while remaining within easy reach of the region's major houses.

Épernay, France
Champagne de Venoge is a historic Épernay house founded in 1837, with tastings shaped around Champagne AOC’s chalk, cool climate and long cellar culture rather than spectacle.

Épernay, France
Champagne Dom Pérignon frames Épernay through prestige cuvée culture: single-vintage Champagne, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and the long shadow of Hautvillers.

Épernay, France
Champagne Esterlin gives Épernay’s Champagne circuit a cooperative counterpoint, with grower-member scale, Chardonnay-led wines and a tasting-room format built around explanation rather than ceremony.

Épernay, France
