We had a lovely "final" dinner in Aÿ Champagne. Our hotel made a reservation and luckily we were…read moreable to reserve a table. 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.
