Where to eat in Reims
Selected entries from the current guide for Reims.
Reims, France
Reims, France
Le Parc Les Crayères
Among Reims's two-Michelin-star restaurants, Le Parc Les Crayères operates from a 17-acre estate on the southern edge of the city, where classical French service and a formal dining room set a deliberate counterpoint to the region's more progressive tables. Ranked #77 in Opinionated About Dining's 2025 European Classical list and awarded 94 points by La Liste, it holds a clear position in France's prestige dining tier.
Reims, France
Racine
A two-Michelin-starred creative restaurant on Place Godinot, Racine positions Japanese-trained chef Kazuyuki Tanaka within Reims's small cohort of serious fine dining addresses. Holding two stars continuously since 2024 and recognised by Les Grandes Tables du Monde in 2025, it occupies the upper tier of Champagne-region dining, where the wine list and the kitchen are expected to perform in lockstep.
Reims, France
Arbane
Arbane Reims brings a sharper contemporary register to a Champagne dining scene often defined by grand houses, formal cellars, and classical French luxury. Julien Caligo’s background at Le Parc Les Crayères gives the cooking local credibility, while La Liste recognition and We’re Smart Green Guide attention place the restaurant in the city’s newer vegetable-led conversation.
Reims, France
Le Millénaire
Positioned a few steps from Reims Cathedral, Le Millénaire is the city's most sustained example of seafood-led creative fine dining. Chef Benjamin Andreux builds menus around seasonal produce and precise technique, placing the restaurant in a competitive tier alongside Reims's other €€€€ creative addresses. Service Tuesday through Saturday, closed Monday and Sunday.
Reims, France
Brasserie Le Jardin
Brasserie Le Jardin earns its Michelin Bib Gourmand. In a city better known for grand-occasion dining, it holds its own as one of Reims's most consistent addresses for classical cooking, recognized by Opinionated About Dining's Classical in Europe ranking at #238 in 2025.
Reims, France
Le Foch
A Michelin Plate holder on Boulevard Foch, Le Foch sits in Reims's mid-tier modern French category alongside L'ExtrA, operating at the €€€ price point with consistent recognition from both Michelin and Opinionated About Dining since at least 2023. Chef Jacky Louaze runs a tight service window, two sittings at lunch, one at dinner, making advance planning essential for visitors to the Champagne capital.
Reims, France
L'ExtrA
It sits between the city's grand-table tier and its casual bistro layer, offering a precise, considered menu in a city already defined by its relationship with the ceremonial and the notable.
Reims, France
La Grande Georgette
A two-time Michelin Plate recipient on Rue Tronsson Ducoudray, La Grande Georgette sits in Reims's mid-range modern cuisine tier, holding its own against the city's more decorated tables.
Reims, France
Le Crypto
A Michelin Plate recipient in both 2024 and 2025, Le Crypto brings modern cuisine to Place du Forum at a mid-range price point that sits below Reims's starred tier. It occupies a consistent position in the city's accessible fine dining bracket, making it a reference point for visitors who want culinary seriousness without the full ceremonial weight of a tasting-menu institution.
Reims, France
Bistro des anges
Recognised by Star Wine List with a White Star award, Bistro des anges on Rue Chanzy sits within Reims's mid-range dining scene, where Champagne-region sourcing and bistro tradition intersect.
Reims, France
La Table Saint Thomas
In a city whose restaurant scene skews toward either Champagne-house grandeur or casual brasserie fare, this address occupies a purposeful middle ground, serious about technique without the ceremony of a multi-starred room.
Reims, France
Sacré Burger
On Rue de Tambour in central Reims, Sacré Burger occupies the space where champagne-country seriousness meets the casual register of the American burger format. The address sits a short walk from the cathedral quarter, positioning it within reach of the city's broader dining circuit without competing on the same terms as the grand-table establishments that define Reims's formal reputation.
Reims, France
Au Petit Comptoir
Au Petit Comptoir on Rue de Mars is one of Reims's most reliable addresses for market-driven French cooking at a scale that the city's grander dining rooms cannot match. The format is compact and direct: a short menu built around what the region produces, served without ceremony but with genuine attention. For visitors already planning time around the Champagne houses, it offers a grounded counterpoint to the area's more formal tables.
Reims, France
Brasserie le Boulingrin
A Reims institution at 31 Rue de Mars, Brasserie le Boulingrin has anchored the city's traditional dining scene for decades. Its art deco interior and Champagne-country kitchen position it firmly within the French brasserie tradition, unhurried, generous, and rooted in the northeast's larder. For visitors moving between cathedral and cellar, it offers a grounded alternative to Reims's Michelin-heavy fine dining tier.
Reims, France
Da Nello
Da Nello sits on Rue Cérès in central Reims, a short walk from the cathedral and the cellars that define the city's international reputation. The restaurant draws on Italian culinary tradition in a city better known for Champagne houses and Champenois cuisine, offering a contrast that rewards those looking beyond the grand tasting-menu circuit. It occupies a quiet position in the Reims dining scene without the institutional weight of its neighbours.
Reims, France
Flavor Express
On Rue de Vesle, one of Reims's main arteries, Flavor Express sits within easy reach of the cathedral quarter and the city's broader restaurant scene.
Reims, France
Koboon
Koboon sits on Boulevard du Général Leclerc in central Reims, positioning itself within a city better known for Champagne cellars and cathedral tourism than for restaurant diversity. Against a dining scene dominated by formal French rooms and grand brasseries, it occupies a different register, one worth understanding before you book.
Reims, France
L'Atelier Entrecôte et Volaille - Reims
On Place Drouet d'Erlon, Reims's most animated square, L'Atelier Entrecôte et Volaille operates on a format that has proved durable across France: a focused menu built around prime cuts and poultry, served at a pace and in a setting that makes lunch feel like an event rather than an errand. The restaurant sits in a city better known for Champagne houses and cathedral tourism, but it draws a local crowd that returns for the ritual as much as the food.
Reims, France
La Vigneraie
La Vigneraie occupies a considered position in Reims's serious dining scene, sitting on Rue de Thillois within reach of both the cathedral quarter and the city's champagne house geography. In a city where fine dining is measured against Michelin-decorated neighbours, La Vigneraie draws from the same French classical tradition while operating at its own register. For visitors building a Reims table around champagne country, it belongs in the shortlist.
Reims, France
Le Bocal
Le Bocal sits on Rue de Mars in central Reims, placing it within easy reach of the city's cathedral quarter and its constellation of Champagne houses. Reims has built a serious dining identity alongside its sparkling wine reputation, and Le Bocal occupies a position in that mid-range scene where locality and informality tend to define the offer more than grand-format tasting menus.
Reims, France
Le Continental
On Place Drouet d'Erlon, Reims's central pedestrian axis, Le Continental occupies the kind of position that rewards return visits over first impressions. The terrace and interior sit at the social heart of a city defined by its champagne cellars and Gothic cathedral, drawing a loyal local clientele for whom the address functions as a reliable fixture rather than a special-occasion destination.
Reims, France
LE PIRAS
On Rue Dieu-Lumière in Reims, LE PIRAS occupies a quieter register than the city's Michelin-decorated dining rooms, positioning itself in the mid-tier of a scene long defined by Champagne-region tradition. For travellers who want to read Reims beyond its cathedral and its grand cuvées, it represents a practical and considered entry point into the city's less-documented neighbourhood dining.
Reims, France
Le Riad
Le Riad occupies a quiet address on Rue de Tambour in central Reims, where the city's Champagne-country formality meets a name that signals something distinctly cross-cultural. With Reims's fine-dining scene dominated by French classicism, Le Riad offers a different register, one worth understanding in the context of what the city's restaurant map currently lacks and what it is slowly beginning to include.

Selected entries from the current guide for Reims.
Reims, France
Domaine Les Crayères
A turn-of-the-20th-century château set within a seven-hectare park in Reims, Domaine Les Crayères carries two Michelin stars at its flagship restaurant Le Parc, three Michelin Keys, and a 94.5-point La Liste rating. Twenty rooms across the Château and a park-side Cottage place it firmly in small-scale luxury, where formal French architecture and Champagne-country heritage drive the proposition rather than amenity volume.
Reims, France
Assiette Champenoise
The property combines 33 contemporary rooms and suites with a kitchen that earned its third star in 2014 and a Gault & Millau Chef of the Year designation the same year. Rates start from US$438 per night.
Reims, France
La Caserne Chanzy
A Michelin Selected hotel occupying a converted 19th-century barracks in central Reims, La Caserne Chanzy sits at the intersection of military heritage and contemporary hospitality.

Reims
Where to go for a drink in Reims
Selected entries from the current guide for Reims.
Reims, France
Au Bon Manger
Au Bon Manger on Rue Courmeaux is the kind of neighbourhood bar that Reims locals keep to themselves and Champagne pilgrims eventually find. Set on a quiet street in one of the city's better quartiers, it functions as a genuine institution: a place where the wine list leans heavily on the region and the atmosphere does the persuading. This is Reims drinking at its most honest.
Reims, France
La Vertu
La Vertu is Reims' newest bar à vins, drawing a youthful crowd to the Boulingrin district with a wine-forward program that sits at the intersection of Champagne country and broader French bottle culture. The address on Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau places it close to the city's covered market and its cluster of independent bars, making it a natural stop on any serious tour of the local drinking scene.
Reims, France
Le Coq Rouge
A short walk from Reims Cathedral, Le Coq Rouge has earned a firm following among local winemakers and those who know the city well. The kind of room where Champagne producers unwind after a day in the caves, it occupies a specific niche in Reims's drinking culture: unpretentious, knowledgeable, and rooted in the region's vinous identity.
Reims, France
Le Wine Bar by Le Vintage
Positioned on Place du Forum in central Reims, Le Wine Bar by Le Vintage has earned consecutive Star Wine List recognition in 2024 and 2026, placing it among the more serious wine-bar formats in a city that runs on Champagne. The program reads as a deliberate counterpoint to the region's house-dominated sparkling culture, with a broader still-wine focus that rewards guests willing to look past the bubbles.
Reims, France
The Glue Pot
On Place Drouet d'Erlon, Reims's main public square, The Glue Pot occupies a rare position: a bar that functions as a genuine local institution in a city defined by Champagne houses and tourist trade. It draws the kind of cross-section crowd, students, regulars, visiting workers, that most bars in the region spend years trying to cultivate. Think well-worn British pub energy, translated faithfully into the French northeast.
Reims, France
Bar La Rotonde
Bar La Rotonde sits on Boulevard Henry Vasnier in Reims, a telling address in a city where drinking culture is shaped by Champagne houses, hotel bars, and compact wine counters. With, it is better read through its setting: a Reims bar for travellers comparing cocktail-led drinking with the city’s dominant Champagne vocabulary.
Reims
Which wineries to visit in Reims
Selected entries from the current guide for Reims.
Reims, France
Krug
Founded in Reims in 1843, Krug makes Grande Cuvée by selecting wines from different plots and years. Its tasting committee assesses about 400 wines after each harvest; the house also makes single-plot Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Champagnes.
Reims, France
Ruinart
Ruinart gives Reims a clear lesson in Champagne's chalk logic: Chardonnay-led wines set against eight kilometres of crayères, lit with a restraint that keeps the geology in view. The house's 1729 date and Frédéric Panaïotis's winemaking role matter here less as heritage decoration than as context for a visit built around soil, cellar, and the long memory of Champagne production.
Reims, France
Taittinger
Taittinger places Reims Champagne in direct contact with its chalk foundation: the visit is built around cellars cut into fourth-century quarries beneath the city. For travellers comparing the grandes maisons, the draw is less about spectacle than geology, age, and scale, with the house's first vintage in 1943 and Alexandre Ponnavoy now attached to the winemaking direction.
Reims, France
Bruno Paillard
Under winemaker Alice Paillard, the house pursues low-dosage, terroir-driven Champagne from a range built on transparency and traceability, each bottle carries its disgorgement date, a rarity in the category.
Reims, France
Charles Heidsieck
One of Champagne's most storied houses, Charles Heidsieck has produced wine since 1851 from its base at 12 Allée du Vignoble in Reims. Under Chef de Cave Cyril Brun, the house occupies a restrained, cellar-driven position in the prestige tier. The cellars, carved from Gallo-Roman chalk crayères beneath the city, are among the more historically significant in the region.
Reims, France
Henriot
Founded by Apolline Henriot in 1808, Henriot is a Reims Champagne house with deep ties to the Côte des Blancs. Alice Tétienne leads its cellar; the house became part of Terroirs & Vignerons de Champagne in 2023.
Reims, France
Piper-Heidsieck
Founded in Reims in 1785, Piper-Heidsieck makes Cuvée Brut, an Essentiel Extra Brut range, and selected vintage Champagnes. Compare the blend and release details before choosing a bottle.
Reims, France
Louis Roederer
Louis Roederer’s Collection blends a base harvest with a perpetual reserve begun in 2012 and other reserve wines. Collection 247 is based on 2022; Cristal Rosé comes from selected plots in Aÿ, Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
Reims, France
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin
One of Champagne's oldest houses, founded in 1772 and shaped by the widow who gave it its name, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin operates from Reims as both a working producer and a destination in its own right.
Reims, France
Pommery
One of Champagne's most architecturally commanding houses, Pommery operates from a Victorian Gothic estate above nineteen kilometres of chalk crayères beneath Reims. Ranked No. Winemaker Clément Pierlot oversees a programme defined by extended aging in those ancient galleries.
Reims, France
Lanson
Founded in Reims in 1760, Lanson offers cellar visits and tastings at 66 rue de Courlancy. Le Black Création, Le Rosé Création and Clos Lanson show the range from house blends to a named parcel.
Reims, France
Champagne Barons de Rothschild
Champagne Barons de Rothschild gives Reims a polished, Chardonnay-led counterpoint to the region’s older house narratives. Founded in 2007 and guided by chef de caves Guillaume Lété, it works in a precise, modern register built around Champagne AOC fruit, grand and premier cru sourcing, reserve wines, and a focused sparkling portfolio.
Reims, France
Champagne Boll & Cie
A boutique Reims Champagne house founded in 1853, Champagne Boll & Cie sits in the Blanc de Blancs lane, with Chardonnay at the centre of its identity. The draw is not spectacle but terroir discipline: Champagne AOC fruit, a historic house setting, and a portfolio that favours freshness, finesse and classic Côte des Blancs structure.
Reims, France
Champagne Castelnau
Champagne Castelnau is a Reims house founded in 1916, working in the Champagne AOC with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Its editorial interest lies in prolonged lees ageing, a broad grower base across 149 crus, and a polished, dry house style that favors finesse over volume-driven immediacy.
Reims, France
Champagne Charles Lafitte
Champagne Charles Lafitte belongs to Reims’ less theatrical Champagne category: branded, widely distributed, and built around accessible sparkling wine rather than cellar-tour drama. Its Chardonnay-forward, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier blends make sense for drinkers who want Champagne AOC structure with a lighter retail profile, backed by the Vranken-Pommery group and a history dating to its 1983 modern relaunch.
Reims, France
Champagne G. H. Mumm
Champagne G. H. Mumm is a large historic Reims maison built around chalk-cellar touring, wine education, and structured tastings rather than boutique grower intimacy. Its strongest lens is terroir at scale: Pinot Noir-led Champagne from a 218-hectare estate base, extensive Grand Cru holdings, and nearly 25 km of underground galleries that make the production story tangible.
Reims, France
Champagne Jacquart
Champagne Jacquart gives Reims a distinctly modern Champagne-house proposition: Chardonnay-led blends, cooperative ownership, and tastings set inside the historic Hôtel de Brimont rather than a vineyard-side estate. Founded in 1964 by grower families, it suits travelers who want the mechanics of terroir, blending, and house style explained in a polished but relaxed urban setting.
Reims, France
Champagne Louis Roederer
Champagne Louis Roederer belongs to the serious end of Reims wine culture: historic, cellar-led, and focused on estate control rather than casual tasting-room traffic. Its case rests on unusual vineyard ownership, Champagne AOC terroir across the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne, and a luxury-cuvée history that begins with Cristal in 1876.
Reims, France
Champagne Montaudon
Champagne Montaudon belongs to Reims Cedex’s traditional Champagne culture: established in 1891, built around Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, and shaped by the cool, chalk-led conditions of Champagne AOC. Its appeal is not avant-garde cellar drama but a generous, soft-fruited house style with a broad portfolio that includes Brut NV, Blanc de Noirs, Blanc de Blancs, rosé, vintage cuvées, and an Organic Brut.
Reims, France
Champagne Palmer & Co
Champagne Palmer & Co gives Reims a polished, terroir-led Champagne experience built around Montagne de Reims fruit, long lees ageing, and a cooperative model dating to 1947. The house is strongest when read through its Chardonnay-led blends, reserve-wine depth, and cellar-focused tastings rather than as a dynasty-style grande maison narrative.
Reims, France
Champagne Pommery
Champagne Pommery gives Reims a rare large-house visit where chalk terroir, 19th-century ambition, and contemporary art occupy the same frame. The draw is not only the tasting, but the scale: Gallo-Roman crayères, an 18 km cellar network, and a Brut legacy tied to the dry Champagne style that reshaped the category.
Reims, France
Champagne Thiénot
Champagne Thiénot gives Reims a contemporary counterpoint to Champagne’s older-house narrative: a family maison founded in 1985, built on estate holdings across grand and premier cru villages and presented through design-led hospitality in the historic centre. The experience is strongest for travellers who want terroir explained through blending, cellar work, and a polished urban tasting format rather than a purely rural vineyard visit.
Reims, France
Champagne Tsarine
Champagne Tsarine is a Reims house with a modern Champagne identity tied to Chanoine Frères and a fluted bottle inspired by Russian architecture. The range is built around Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, with Brut, Demi Sec, Rosé, Extra Brut, Premier Cru, vintage and prestige cuvées giving first-time visitors a clear read on its accessible luxury style.
Reims, France
Champagne Veuve Clicquot
Reims’ Champagne visits often split between cellar spectacle and serious wine education; Champagne Veuve Clicquot gives both through UNESCO-listed chalk cellars, a house founded in 1772, and a portfolio built around Pinot Noir-led structure. The draw is not only the yellow-label familiarity, but the way the visit links limestone, long cellar ageing, and the region’s history of blending into one coherent Champagne argument.
