We got the smallest cups & I chose Passion Fruit & coconut while the Mr chose Salted Caramel & coconut. The caramel & coconut flavors were dense & creamy while the passion fruit was super-tangy. Happy choices!

I have had Amorino ice cream previously and let me tell you my profound love for this gelato place,…read moreI absolutely love the flavour of the ice cream, not overpowering sweet and the texture is amaZing! They got variety of flavours and those I chosen was vanilla, hazelnut, pistachio, cheesecake, lemon and mango(I think). You can choose as many flavour as you want to put in ur cone so go nuts! Additionally you can also add a macaron on top of your ice cream with extra charge of course but u will not regret it cuz it was sooooooo goood! Before I got to taste the ice cream, I fed my eye first with amazing visual of this spectacular ice cream, as I watch the lady worked her art on my ice cream while I choose the flavour, she scoop the flavour and made it in petals and decorating it! Such amazing experience that both have arts and perfect flavour! I highly recommend this gelato place to try if u haven't. They also offer waffles and crepes. Check it out yourself and not just believe me :) oh! And the best flavour for me is lemon and mango if u needed to know although I believe hazelnut is the popular one. Location: inside of the valley shopping centre outlet

It's only a Michelin Guide restaurant but I believe it deserves a star. It was a random pick from…read moreour day adventure in Epernay. Order: a potato mousse with apples, raw oysters, Truffle Ravioli on a butternut mash sprinkled with hazelnuts, cod with asparagus and buckwheat. Everything was very light unlike American food that's super heavy. I loved that their ingredients were fresh and perfectly seasoned. Our server was very patient with translating the menu to us. The atmosphere was elegant and tranquil (we were also the first guests for that day so not noisy at all lol)

When you come to Epernay you understand two things.... There will be great food, and there will be…read moreeven better Champagne! Symbiose is both of these things. As a brand new restaurant people need to be patient with the wine list as it improves over time. The foundations are amazing however, and the greatest of wine connoisseurs must appreciate a solid foundation for a wine menu. Symboise has done this with their selections, from affordable common and grower producers to amazing finds like Jacques Selosse. While Selosse is going to run you into the mid 100 euro area it is well worth the investment, since how often are you in Epernay? The second thing that I found charming and great about this restaurant is that the host/server/bartender was the wife of the chef. It is a locally run business by two young people who are actively working hard to make their mark on Epernay through amazing food, service, and wine. They speak very good English by French standards, and my wife and I had no trouble conversing with them both about the restaurant, food, wine, and life. We found out that the Chef went to school in Paris for his culinary diploma, and they had moved to Epernay to establish themselves as a couple after being married about one year ago. Okay.... now that you have ALL that back story (and there is much more I did not share) it is time for the food. You can choose from an assortment of "Pick your own" style Prix Fixe menu. Prices are moderate considering the rest of Epernay, but I can guarantee that their prices will increase as time goes on and people find out how amazing this spot is. The value is absolutely present here. We started with a pumpkin soup for my wife and Foie Gras for me. After completing the Foie Gras (and soaking every last bit of it up off the plate) I struggled through my awful french to ask Justine (the host/owner/server/bartender) for a second plate of Foie Gras served after the main course. She seemed shocked, but I was so excited about the Foie Gras that I couldn't just have one plate. I have had Foie Gras many times and in many places, and this is the best I have had yet! The pumpkin soup was good, however personally when it comes to choosing between the two you should go with the Foie Gras! For the entree we selected two different things again. I chose the Poultry dish that had chicken, and my wife chose the Filet (steak) option. Both were fantastic, and were well executed when it comes to flavors. Nothing that was overpowering, and yet if you don't eat like your in the military (scarfing your food down), then you enjoy the development of so many subtle flavors over your palate. I was impressed with both my wife's and my dish. I would not hesitate to order both again. At this point I ate my second helping of Foie Gras, which was still just as amazing as the first round, and my wife enjoyed the fromage (cheese) selection. The cheeses were well selected, and portion was perfect for a single person. Last but certainly not least was the dessert. We enjoyed a pineapple/fruit dessert with vanilla ice cream, and a chocolate dessert with mascarpone. There were many other details that I am now forgetting, but if you are still reading you understand that its possible my mind had just been blown and I had forgotten the details. The desserts were amazing, and the perfect cap on a great dinner. Along with the beginning we opted to order the Ratafia de Champagne (which was sourced from a grower just 20 minutes driving to the south of Epernay), and it was incredible. We opted to not have champagne since we had a magnum waiting for us when we got back home (I know ... sometimes life is just hard!). By the end of the meal we got to converse with the chef and his wife who were the only ones working in the restaurant, and I can only imagine when it is busy they are working their tails off! Luckily Sunday is a slower evening to enjoy dinner, but with that said I would advise anyone to have a little bit of grace when reviewing this place understanding the amount of work, effort, and energy these two are putting into their restaurant. Bottom Line: These are two young people who have a passion to bring exquisite food, wine, and atmosphere together so that anyone willing to experience a meal at their restaurant will leave with a full belly, great memory, and changed outlook on what a meal can mean. I will never hesitate to recommend, come back, or sing the praises of this restaurant! I thank Maxime (the chef, and Justine (the server/bartender/host) for an experience I will not forget. Sincerely, Brad & Alex

A truly fabulous anniversary lunch -- every detail perfection!…read more We celebrated our anniversary with lunch at Le Parc inside Les Crayères, and it was absolutely fabulous from start to finish! Exquisite food, impeccable service, beautiful atmosphere -- and that stunning setting within the hotel just elevated the whole experience. When we arrived, they first seated us in the lounge area where we started with glasses of champagne. We ordered two glasses of Flora Debout and two of Billecart-Salmon Rosé, both of which were excellent. They served us a lovely selection of hors d'oeuvres to pair with our bubbly while we relaxed and looked over the menu. Once we were ready, they guided us to the dining room -- we got the best table by the window, and the room itself was absolutely gorgeous. The four of us chose the Plaisir de Table menu -- a five-course tasting -- though it turned out to be quite a feast since they include several surprise bites in between courses to keep things interesting. Our menu included Candied duck foie gras, John Dory filet, glazed Mallard duck breast, Farm Langres cheese, and Grand Cru chocolate from Indonesia. Every dish was flawlessly executed -- the flavors balanced beautifully, and the proteins were cooked to perfection. The bread and butter were also outstanding (and for me, that's crucial -- it sets the tone for the whole meal!). Service was attentive and polished throughout. Even though a few staff members seemed newer or in training, everything ran smoothly. Toward the end of lunch, they surprised us with an extra dessert and a candle to celebrate our anniversary -- such a thoughtful touch! At one point, the sun was streaming through the window, so I asked if they could lower the shades -- and to my amusement, they controlled this mechanized awning outside right from inside the dining room! It was such a cool little detail that made us all smile. Even the valets were wonderful -- warm, friendly, and eager to share a bit of the hotel's history and their current renovations while fetching our car. All in all, it was an extraordinary dining experience -- elegant yet welcoming -- and absolutely worthy of its two Michelin stars. Next time I'm in Reims, I'll definitely be back, and I'd love to stay at Les Crayères as well. With drinks, the total came to around USD $1,200, and honestly, it was worth every penny for such a memorable celebration.

It almost feels somewhat silly to review a newly-adorned Michelin star restaurant with a yelp…read morereview, but hey, here we go! With a restaurant of this caliber, there are so many different aspects of the meal to consider: the ambiance of the restaurant, the quality of the service, the quality of the food, the *artistry* of the food, and so on. First off, the service. Absolutely first class service from everyone involved, from the moment you step inside and they take their coat to the moment you leave. Everyone is incredibly pleasant and professional. Damien and Victor, the room manager and sommelier, are working non-stop to provide a fantastic evening, and Victor especially is incredibly knowledgeable in his craft. And the wait staff themselves are especially pleasant. The restaurant ambiance itself is interesting. Again, the entire place can be viewed as a canvas, ready for fresh art. I read some other reviews who disliked it, and that's fine, but it might also be missing the point. The food in this restaurant is art, and the purity of the decor, the quietness, the white everywhere, it's like a fresh pallet to an artist. I will say, i do agree with how...stuffy is not the right word, but it definitely took some time for the other patrons to loosen up a bit. Once the (top quality) alcohol started flowing, everyone started to loosen up and the place livened up, but the first 30-60 minutes felt almost awkward. It *is* very quiet, with carpeted floors and soundproofing, so when it's empty, it *feels* empty, but when the place is full, it's not at all loud. That can be unsettling for certain, but nothing a little (or a lot) of wine won't fix. Now for the food. This is art as much as it is food. The menus are blind, meaning you won't see a menu, and each has a selectable number of courses with an optional wine pairing. The courses also include an aperitif and digestif. Even the smallest details explode with flavor, it really is incredibly impressive, and the artistry with how the food is presented is fantastic. Because the menus are not printed, you may end up with some food that is not to your liking, and I personally am not a huge fan of that. Don't get me wrong, i ate...savored everything, but in my opinion, for such an experience, it would be a shame to reduce any of it with food not to your liking. Many other restaurants that offer non-blind menus may be more to your liking if you do not like the idea of not knowing what's coming. That all being said, the things they did with the food were absolutely fantastic! The bread and accoutrements were absolutely incredible, the food exploded with flavor, and the sauces were tremendous. The first dessert, strawberry, had such intense strawberry flavor, and the second dessert, which featured a specially prepared egg white, was as delicious as it was creative. The wine pairings were all tremendous, perfect pairs, and even the final course, which featured a custom mixed drink that was absolutely fantastic. For me, the only downsides were the number of cold dishes and the initial stuffiness of the dining room at the start of dinner. I personally, would've preferred to have more focus on warm dishes, but that being said, the food was still delicious. And, the dining room got more lively as the night went on, so both were not big issues. But, for a restaurant of this caliber, even the small things get dinged. I know this place has previously had a star and did not renew, but it's back as of 2025, so clearly they are doing what they need to be doing. If you're in Reims, this could be a fun experience, and it most definitely will be an artistic experience.

This was probably our least favorite meal in France. First of all, the restaurant was extremely…read morewhite. The walls were white, the table linens were white, the napkins were white, the plates were white...even the people were all white. It was like dining in a sterile hospital (1 star off). The white napkins were also the largest I have ever seen; they draped over my lap like a baby blanket. The ambiance was extremely quiet -- it was like everyone was afraid to talk (1 star off). The table next to us had about seven or eight people, and you would think a large group like that would make *some* noise during a meal together, but nope. The food was palatable, but very disappointing for a Michelin rated restaurant (1 star off). We got the prix-fixe menu, and all the items were less than mediocre. There was an eggroll-like thing, a basic fish, a messy soup, a pigeon stuffed with innards, and a boring clafoutis that I could have made at home. Even the ice cream was already half melted when it was served...at least it was served on a non-white plate?
