Restaurants in Reims
A one-star table by the cathedral, an art-deco brasserie facing the market halls, and bistros where the champagne list matters as much as the menu - Reims eats well.
Worth planning around
Le Millénaire
One Michelin star, a stone's throw from Place Royale and the cathedral. Chef Benjamin Andreux's modern, seafood-led fine dining in a stylish dining room - the special-occasion booking. Closed Sunday and Monday.
Brasserie du Boulingrin
The classic: an exemplary art-deco brasserie facing Les Halles, all oysters, bone marrow, tartares and homemade Paris-Brest. Gault & Millau 11/20, around â¬25-30 a head without drinks. Closed Sunday.
Le Crypto
The modern bistro on the prettiest square in the old town - scallop tartare, Champagne-sauced fish, a serious Champagne list. Where Reims chefs eat on their nights off. Closed Sunday and Monday.
Champagne bars that feed you
Le Parvis
Champagne bar, dining bar, caviste and fine grocer facing the cathedral - tastings, flights and a proper food menu. Open late Friday and Saturday.
L'ExtrA
The inclusive restaurant run by the Amis du RB22 association - professional integration for people with disabilities, and genuinely good cooking with a Champagne list. Dinner money that does good.
Bistro des Anges
Homemade French bistro cooking with an international wine list - reliable, central, open seven days.
Deli and the three-star hop
L'épicerie du Boulingrin (7 Rue de Mars) is the Italian deli of the Boulingrin quarter - pizzas of the day, lasagnes, charcuterie and what locals call the best spritz in Reims. And if you're marking an occasion properly: L'Assiette Champenoise in Tinqueux, just over the city line, holds three Michelin stars - one of the great tables of France, a short taxi from the centre.
Common questions
What is Reims known for food-wise?
Champagne first, then the classics: jambon de Reims (a ham terrine), biscuits roses (pink biscuits for dunking in champagne), and Champagne-sauced everything.
Do I need to book restaurants in Reims?
For Le Millénaire and weekend dinners anywhere central, yes. The brasseries take walk-ins at lunch more easily.
Where can I eat near the cathedral?
Le Millénaire (4-6 Rue Bertin) and Le Parvis (2 Rue Rockefeller) are both within a few minutes' walk.
