We came here for a champagne tasting and lunch while visiting the village of Hautvillers, which is…read morebest known for being the resting place of Don Perignon. They have a great selection of champagnes for sale, so I understand that what they select for tastings is different every day. They also do not tell you from which house you are tasting, they only provide you with information on the types of grapes in the champagne. It is a great way to get a better taste of the individuals grapes that go into champagnes. There is a pretty limited selection for lunch. I had a pottage of sausages and pork, a traditional meal that they serve during harvest, which was good. My husband had a plate of various items, of which the best thing was the giant macaroon. They also have cheese platters which are great if your just tasting.

De serveerder vergat een drankje, we kregen dat na 3x vragen toen de meesten hun eten al hadden. Een van de gerechten kwam veel later, een stukje biefstuk wat rood besteld was. Het kwam verbrand en doorbakken, zo' n 10 minuten nadat de rest eten kreeg. Daarnaast had ik gevraagd of ze het glutenvrij konden maken. Dit leek de bediening niet te begrijpen. Daarom vroeg ik of ze de saus weg konden laten. Het bord kwam met saus over de salade, een quiche hapje met heel veel saus en extra saus in een bakje. Daarnaast waren er over het hele bord gebakken uitjes gestrooid (waar gluten in zitten). Ik vroeg aan een andere serveerster of ze in de keuken wilde checken of het goed ging. Ze vroeg eerst of ik het wel goed besteld had. Daarna vergat ze wat ik gevraagd had. Na 10 minuten proberen de aandacht te trekken ben ik naar de bar gelopen. Daar vroeg dame aan een collega achter de bar of het glutenvrij was en ze verzekerde me dat dat zo was, maar leek hier niet zeker van te zijn. Tldr: dit restaurant is niet in staat rekening te houden met allergieen, vergeet drinken te brengen, serveert aangebrand eten en vergeet vragen op te volgen.

It was busy the day we came here and we were lucky to get a table without a wait. Food was good. Fromage plater had 2 nice sized cheeses with a small salad and bread. Cote du boeuf was a nice piece of Steak topped with onions and served with French Fries. This made for a nice lunch. Add a nice choice of locally made champagne and it's a very enjoyable meal.

The french onion soup was flavorful and came with large fresh baguette slices, onions, and a bowl of add-yourself shredded cheese. The tagliatelle carbonara pasta was rich and filled with pancetta. We devoured everything. My husbands lemon and sugar crepe was equally enjoyable paired with his cafe noir. Thank god they gave us another cup after the pigeon incident. Btw, we had a good laugh with our French server who spoke almost no english. Talk about bonding! This is a place where locals hang out. Good sign!

Starting with la soupe de pommes de terre which is a potato soup that the waitress brought us (the soup was on the house!) I have never tried a better potato soup in my life to say the truth. With our entrées they brought bread to the table. I ordered le Pauvé ay Poivre (which is a steak with pepper). It's a bit spicy because of the amount of pepper on the steak but it was a different flavor I had never tried before. I LOVED IT. The steak was soft and juicy. The plate came with a salad and a choice of fries, sautéed potatoes, and string beans. I ordered string beans-- they were delicious! Last but not least for dessert was le mi-cuit au chocolat. Being a sweet tooth, I. LOVED. This. I'll stop now please see for yourself.

We experienced this all over France, actually, in mid-November; I think as compared to NY, they tend to keep the heat up higher when it's chilly/rainy outside. We quickly got used to shedding our coats and possibly a layer of clothing whenever we entered a restaurant!! We chose different tiers of their prix fixe menu to suit our palattes desires, and were absolutely blown away by everything that was presented to us. We did the champagne tasting, so we each got a total of 4 glasses of champagne. I loved 3 of the 4 -- the rose that came with dessert was not for me...but I'm not a fan of rose generally, so this was to be expected. FOOD. OK. Bread was obviously perfect to start. For appetizers, I got the Oysters Saint Vaast Gratin with a champagne cream sauce -- delicious, not fishy, very filling. My husband got the Baked Eggs with Chaource Cheese Cream and I think we both almost cried with tears of delicious, delicious joy. This was probably the best thing I ate over our entire 11day honeymoon. If I wouldn't gain 50lbs as a direct result, I'd learn this recipe and eat it every day. It's almost like a soup made entirely of egg, cream, and cheese. It is so decadent. It has been almost a month and I still think about it every day. Entrees - I ordered the Cod fillet in a velvet champagne sauce over squid ink risotto - excellent. Perfect sized portion had I indulged appropriately in the bread and appetizer phases of this meal. Would get the same thing again if I went back. Husband got something that I either didn't care to try because I was filling up so quickly, or something I tried and didnt love. I can't remember exactly. Could have been the beef tenderloin or could have been rabbit something or other. I think it was rabbit........not for me. But he reported that it was wonderful, so 5 star continues. FINALLY, dessert. I got the trilogy of cheese...because why not. Husbadn got the creme brulee with vanilla bourbon ice cream. Both were delightful. We ate a few bites and rolled our way out of there. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone passing through Epernay. Our airbnb host recommended it to us and I am so glad we picked this one out of the small list he provided. I'd return in a heartbeat.

If you just show up at dinner time, you most likely won't be seated unless it's a very slow night. Rôtisserie Henry IV has a multi level floor plain, with a slight rise to the second level, maybe three steps, but it allows for a lovely overview of the restaurant. The menu is in French, so pull out your translation app, our waitress spoke passable English, which was great, because we spoke passable French. My wife ordered a farm salad with roasted chicken. There was so much chicken in the salad, she couldn't finish it. I decided to try the French version of Barbecue pork ribs with a side of fries. (Don't call them French fries. And don't ask for French Onion soup. You wouldn't order an American hot dog). The ribs weren't exactly Texas bbq, but they were quite good. These were not "fall off the bone". Quite tough to separate with a butter knife. But the glaze and flavor were very good. The only disappointment was the fries. Limp, Lukewarm. McDonald's has nothing to fear. For a packed, high end restaurant (we graduated from Bistro), prices were very reasonable. Service was very attentive. A solid choice if you're in the area.

Yay! I am a fan!…read more Well this place was actually recommended to us by Philippe Brun of Champagne Roger Brun as the place were locals would go to have lunch and I have to say he wasn't wrong! This place is basically a spot to have lunch in the town of Ay. The place basically service local cuisine of roasted meats in various preparations from ribs, to leg of lamb to what I can only assume is some variation on a kebab to roasted ham (amazing) that could be paired with locally produced champagnes from Philliponat, Roger Brun, Billecart-Salmon just to name a few. We were hungry but that doesn't the diminish the quality and quantity of food. I ordered mixed grille and my wife the leg of lamb and some appetizers and everything was amazing. We didn't have any champagne at the restaurant because we were going to the tastings but next time we will.
