At Les Bistrophiles, David and Isabelle Romaska are hiding a real treasure trove of carefully chosen French products. Including: white wine from the Coteaux de Suresnes for the chicken terrine; goat cheese from the Pamfou farm - who also supply the Élysée Palace! - for the salad; Provins mustard and new potatoes from Essonne to eat with the "cat tongue" Salers steak; a Nemours poppy syrup drizzled over the iced parfait.... And don't forget about the épicerie corner, filled with other great finds: rose honey from Carla Renault, saffron from Mortery.... To drink, there's a beautiful selection of local blonde beers, like La Briarde, or an amber beer from Thomas Becket of the Brasserie Larché in Sens (€4.60 for 33 cl).

The pork chop was overcooked in a very stinky cheese sauce, and my beef tartare was doused in some kind of sauce, killing the taste completely. Cocktails are ok.

It's not Michelin star dining but you already know that going in and this place is very good for what it is. You'll find quite a few locals here and a lot of beer drinkers - beer is "hot" in France and especially on a very hot weekend with temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit there were more people enjoying a beer than wine. But the small wine list included some nice options including a nice Gobillard Blanc de Noirs and the food was very good. My salmon was (somewhat surprisingly) perfectly cooked and great - the haricot verts were a bit bland and overcooked but still healthier than frites. My wife's pizza had a typical French crust and with the standard ham & mushroom toppings was very tasty. I would generally give this place 4 stars and I'm definitely a fan. However, you have to take it for what it is - as far as Brasseries go this is one of the better places you'll find in small towns across France. And the main other review on here is complaining about the steak - let's be honest, if you order steak or sausage in France it's usually a bit more funky and just different than you may expect despite the common names. For the most part, the kitchen here does a pretty good job even on a hot day when it had to be sweltering in back. If you're looking for a casual outdoor meal in Epernay with good food & drink and generally friendly service, you may have found your place.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

We knew we were having a big dinner, so we stopped in here to have a "light" lunch. We got some…read moreoutdoor seating since it was a hot day, and it's nice to be able to sit outside. However, there is a lot of traffic on the road, so that did deter a bit from the dining atmosphere. It also took ages for our order to get taken, but when it did, things picked up quite a bit. We started with a great bottle of Rose champagne (as you do when you're in the region), and thoroughly enjoyed it. So much that we hunted down the winery later and bought a couple of bottles to take home. I decided to get the salmon three ways (tartare, smoked and grilled), while my partner got the beef three ways (tartare, smoked and grilled). They also gave us some great nibbles to start, including a bit of salmon pate. (You know, just in case I needed more salmon). The mains were great. All of my salmon was really tasty. I had a bite of my partner's tartare, and it was also fantastic. And there was quite a bit of texture which really made me like it quite a bit. All in all, lunch here was really good, and I would totally recommend it to anyone in the area!

She had what looked like a scallop pot pie, that was big and overflowing to the point I initially thought it was a main. I had frog legs and escargot in a casserole ramekin that was fortunately smaller, because it was so rich. Our third friend had a standard but still great french onion soup. For mains, we split the supreme chicken and braised beef - both with more generous offerings of meat than we were expecting. To finish, we had such a high quality tarte fine aux pommes with homemade ice cream. The quality of the ingredients and execution was so superb that we couldn't believe it was simply vanilla bean, apples, and butter. Although it felt almost sacrilegious to be in Epernay and not have Champagne, the cheap pichets of wine were too good to pass up. Coffees were also cheap and fortunately not burnt like in Paris. Everyone, from the manager, to our server, and the busser, was friendly and helpful - a nice change of pace for my friends who were tired of the Parisian gruffness. The restaurant is located on the picturesque square, just around the corner from the main avenue for Champagne. We got there at a pretty late hour for lunch, but they were still happy to serve. I highly recommend this as the lunch spot before you go tasting.
