Amuse bouche was provided, which was a bite sized pate. Oysters were so fresh, well cleaned and tasted like the sea. Simple and refreshing. Truffle scallops carpaccio was also a winner too!

Their fish was nice and simple and cooked crisp.The egg garnish was something different with it. They have ice cream! It's great for the summer weather. We got rum and raisin. The rum was a bit overpowering, but finished up the meal well. Lovely place! If I had more days in Champagne, would go here again before I leave. Will return.

My husband has the lamb plate and I had a very fresh and light fish (plat du jour) in what seemed like a corn husk. Located close to the large wine houses, but only a 15-20 minute drive from some smaller boutique champagne locations.

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.

Le 7 was our first dinner in Epernay the capital of Champagne and it did not disappoint. The…read morerestaurant is small and cozy and full of Epernay locals who were enjoying the intimate menu of a few entrees, appetizers, and the generous options of the always flowing champagne from the local area. There was a huge page of champagnes on the back page all set at a fixed price of 53 euros. Our server helped us to choose a brut which was light crispy and a perfect companion to our delicious French dinner. The turbot fish in champagne mushroom sauce looked divine judging by our next table but sadly they were out so I settled for the shrimp with Asian veggie medley. I've rarely had shrimp cooked to perfection as it was snappy light and tossed in a sweet chile sauce. Perfect with my champagne! Husband was a little more adventurous with the sweetbreads which came with a side of puréed potatoes. The generous sweetbread portion was cooked in a white wine butter reduction which was super rich. If you don't know what sweetbreads are and are curious, think of a non fishy version of monk fish ankimo liver both in consistency and flavor, so he says. Service was quick but very limited English. Le 7 is legit.

So we booked a cab and headed over so we could enjoy our first meal in France. And enjoy it we did! We opted to have a 2000 Vintage Champagne (which seemed quite inexpensive on the list) to drink. The Champagne was amazing, So amazing we decided to hunt down the winery and stop in on our trip. Since we have similar tastes, we both opted to get the foie gras starter and the sweetbreads with mushrooms main course. The foie gras was really good. Served with some very ripe melon and toast, it was a great start to our trip. The sweetbreads were phenomenal: Moist and succulent. The mushrooms and sauce along with it were also really fantastic. We finished up with cheese. A great selection of Morbier, Brie de Meaux and a goat's cheese. All in all, it was an enjoyable meal, and it was great they could fit us in last minute. We were also sitting next to a TV that was playing the inside of a fishtank on loop. So we got a whole lot of enjoyment from that as well.

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.

This place was recommended to us by the French woman who cooked us breakfast at our B&B. We had a…read morelist of places that we wanted to try in Epernay, but some of them are closed in Sunday and we had a bit of trouble making reservations due to the language barrier. The style and decor of this place is a bit dated, but I'm not sure if it's old or purposely done that way. When we walked in, it was empty, but it filled up quickly. I think we were pretty much ahead of all the crowds by 30 minutes everywhere we went. You have the option of 4 or 5 courses, cheese course is included with either choice. I think every table we overheard asked about portion sizes and whether they should choose 4 or 5. 4 courses is plenty of food, but you should choose the 5 cause you're in Champagne, so why not. The sauce for my langoustines was a bit too fishy for my taste, but my fish and beef dishes were both really good. And tart for dessert was delicious. The French really know how to do pastries. They don't do wine parings, so we were recommended a bottle and it went very well with the food. We did learn that the champagne that is aged in oak goes better with food. Overall a very good dining experience.

The WiFi never once worked in our room, and the staff kept making excuses, like they expected it would. But other guests had the same problem. We had to go outside or to the lobby to connect. There is no restaurant at the hotel, and it's a healthy walk to the downtown commercial area. Their bar/pub is nice and they will order food in for you, which we did one night. But it's not a real meal. Another night we did the 25 minute walk each way to a great restaurant, but had to be sure we got back before they locked the gate at 11pm. Hotel La Villa Eugene did have a few drawbacks we didn't expect.

The room was obviously recently renovated, which was great! The staff was really nice. Our room had small private balcony which we used daily! Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the garden in the back- it looked kinda sparse and sad. The pool looked nice but we didn't use it. I am glad this place had an elevator for our check in and check out with luggage. The hotel is right next door to Mercier Champagne, which is super cool! We are still telling stories about the Marcier Champagne place and everything we learned about Eugene Mercier. We walked down Avenue de Champagne daily and enjoyed walking to all the Champagne houses including Moet and Chandon. It's not that big of a deal, but they don't have a safe in the room. Also, they do not have 'do not disturb' signs which makes it hard if you don't want any maids coming in your room. Last thing, although minor- the key to the room is on a large heavy keychain and they recommend you leave it with the front desk when you head out for the day. First time I have seen a hotel do this- but its such a small and historic place, maybe it's normal for these kinds of hotels. Overall, I would totally recommend this place to friends.
