We made a reservation a few hours before, and were accommodated for lunch on a Thursday with our large party without any issues. We were sat against the wall with the fold down movie theater seats but be careful - when I stood up I ended up pulling my seat off and was no longer able to use the chair! Most of the diners in my party shared different burgers (which they all enjoyed and seemed to be enough to share). I selected the Le Wok de Canard which was a duck stir fry. It was very delicious and the meat was quite tender. It was served on a bed of thinly slides vegetables like carrots and zucchini. For being located in a smaller city (not Paris) I would have expected the servers to be a little more friendly but they were friendly enough for it not to impact our experience. I would recommend Les Cornichons but allow for more time to enjoy the decor and atmosphere.

We were staying in Reims for a couple of nights while touring the nearby champagne houses and were…read moresearching for a local but hospitable place to eat dinner, and Le Tablier looked homey and welcoming so we decided to give it a try. This is exactly the kind of brasserie you hope to stumble into in the middle of Reims. It's right on Place Drouet d'Erlon with a big, lively terrace facing the Subé fountain. That means it gives off great people-watching vibes, although in December it was too chilly to dine outside. The atmosphere of the restaurant hits that sweet spot between cozy, rustic, and modern. It feels relaxed but still polished, like a place that knows what it's doing without trying too hard. The tables are packed too closely together, which was a nice change as to the European norm. We were able to enjoy our dinner and conversation without touching elbows with fellow guests. To be fair, we were dining at an "off" time, so it wasn't very busy. Your mileage may vary if you visit during the popular dinner hours. The staff were genuinely welcoming, especially to foreign visitors, which honestly stands out by French standards. English menus were available, service was friendly and easygoing, and nothing felt rushed. We were greeted warmly by the host, who immediately started speaking to us in English (how do they ALWAYS KNOW?!). We still tried to speak some French to him, which he appreciated. I swear attempting to converse in the local language does wonders when you're a tourist in Europe! The cocktail menu is extensive and creative, and we had some excellent cocktails along with a solid house wine (typical in France) that set me back a whopping 5 Euros LOL. My hubby's cocktail was beautifully presented and garnished with dried fruit, and it was nice and strong. Even the bread basket deserves a shout out for the simple, fresh, and very snackable crusty, sliced baguette. Food-wise, everything was quite tasty. My snail-loving hubby said the escargots (9 Euros for a half dozen) were plump, garlicky, and perfectly done. He never, ever passes up the chance to order this dish whenever we are in France, and he really raved about these. I opted for the Salmon Amandine (24 Euros), which was served with a cider and mustard sauce and butter mashed potatoes. My fish was flavorful and well-cooked, and the portion was quite large. My husband went with a steak and potatoes dish, which he said was rich and satisfying. The potatoes were fried in what tasted like duck fat, and everything was well seasoned. Even by American standards, the portions were huge. These are definitely generous brasserie-style plates, so much so that we skipped on dessert (and the selections sounded incredible). For escargots, salmon, beef, a cocktail, glass of wine, bottled water, and all that atmosphere, we paid about €80, which felt like a great deal for the quality and location. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. I would definitely recommend Le Tablier to visitors in the area. It's a great choice for a casual, fun meal with tasty drinks right in the heart of Reims.

KenScale: 8.5/10 Visits: June 2025…read more[Note: After some deliberations, I have decided to upgrade all restaurants receiving 8.5 or 8.75 KenScale to five Yelp stars from four.] My wife Jun and I have been red wine drinkers forever, so our trip to Champagne last month was quite an eye-opener. We visited a number of large Champagne houses, the so-called Grande Marque, including Billecart-Salmon, Bollinger and Taittinger and from those brief tours, I gained appreciation for the deep tradition and dedication that goes into Champagne making. I also wanted to use our trip to visit at least one restaurant in the area and ended up with L'Assiette Champanoise in Reims. The restaurant, located inside the hotel of the same name, has been considered a standout destination in the region's dining scene, with three Michelin stars next to its name. Overall, Jun and I enjoyed our dinner at the restaurant with a good number of memorable dishes, although not every aspect of the experience was perfect. Since we had only one night for dinner in Champagne, we decided to go all out for the signature Emotion tasting menu (at €395 per person) as well as wine pairings (at €245 per person). The restaurant, whose kitchen is led by chef Arnaud Lallement, explores the sophisticated French fine dining with fundamentally sound execution. Having been to many fine dining restaurants, including those with French cuisine, I probably would say there wasn't any particular dish that led me or Jun to exclaim "Oh my god, how did the kitchen come up with this dish?!" On the other hand, there was no single bad dish, and some of them were quite excellent. I liked how the kitchen put together a medley of tomato-based dishes at the beginning of the meal, and was especially fond of the tomato confit and mackerel dish; contrary to my worry that the flavor of each ingredient would overpower the other, they complemented each other very well. One of the signature dishes at the restaurant is the beautifully plated caviar with mashed potatoes and I could see why; of course, it didn't hurt that for the wine pairing, we were served a glass of Krug that perfectly balanced the rich caviar and potato flavor. Another signature dish that I really liked (not surprisingly) was the blue lobster from Brittany, with lobster jus and paprika greatly enhancing the flavor. My favorite dish of the night, though, was probably the red mullet; the fish itself was already a winner but the addition of eggplant millefeuille was quite a game changer. Not every dish landed the same impact. Compared to all of the exceptional dishes that I highlighted, the last savory dish of chicken, gamberini prawns and sweetbread felt a little too safe. The desserts, many of them based on strawberry during its growing season, also didn't leave a lasting impression, either (to be fair, we were already getting a fair amount of exposure to strawberry during our earlier restaurant trips in Paris). I booked a reservation at the restaurant as soon as we started planning for the Paris/Champagne trip in March so I can't be sure how difficult it is to get a reservation at L'Assiette Champenoise, but I would still highly recommend booking in advance. The wine pairing, considering its hefty price, was somewhat mixed. Aside from the aforementioned Krug, we also got two Champagnes from relatively unknown producers (one of which I liked very much). The star of the pairing was undoubtedly a super rare Coteaux Champenois still white wine that Jun and I couldn't stop raving about. On the other hand, we were both disappointed that we got a mediocre cocktail instead of a dessert wine like Sauternes for the dessert portions, and for perhaps I would've liked to have at least a premier cru level Burgundy red (instead of the village level that we got to pair with the chicken dish) given the price tag of the pairing. The service was very attentive and professional, and chef Arnaud briefly stopped by to say hello as well. After the dinner, you can also visit the bar lounge or the outdoor garden of the hotel for some digestif. L'Assiette Champenoise offers the kind of refined fine dining experience you would want to enjoy while visiting Champagne. I probably, though, would've loved the restaurant even more with some more game-changing dishes and wine pairings.
