Pick a table around your Avenue de Champagne day

The Avenue itself supplies several quite different bookings. Perrier-Jouët has Maison Belle Epoque at number 11 and Cellier Belle Epoque at number 26; de Venoge’s L’Écurie is at number 33; Bulles & Bonheur is at number 73. Near the Avenue’s central end, La Cave de l’Avenue is number 5. Keep the actual number on your reservation: a house name alone can lead to a different tasting room, restaurant or boutique.

The central restaurant streets spread beyond the Avenue: rue Gambetta has La Cave à Champagne and Le P’tit Champenois, rue Porte Lucas has Cook’In, and rue Saint-Thibault has Le Vintage. Use Place de la République as a central meeting point, then give your group the restaurant’s street address. The tourist office’s Épernay town plan marks the restaurant and Champagne-bar addresses together, useful when putting a meal between a cellar booking and an evening drink.

Menu figures below are published prices, with drinks included only where stated. Épernay Tourist Office supplies several ranges; use the venue’s current menu to select an offer and service within that published range. Bulles & Bonheur publishes separate food-only and Champagne-paired totals, while Perrier-Jouët separates a reserved pairing menu from the Cellier’s all-day menu. Book the named offer, with the party size and dietary requirements, through the venue’s official contact.

Restaurants and bars on the Avenue de Champagne

La Cave de l’Avenue — A. Bergère’s restaurant and wine bar

5 avenue de Champagne. The tourist office identifies La Cave de l’Avenue as the A. Bergère family’s restaurant, wine bar and guesthouse. This is the number 5 dining address, separate from the house’s other Avenue premises. Choose it for a meal with Bergère Champagne at the central end of the Avenue; ask the restaurant for its current food menu and table tariff through the direct website. Book the restaurant through La Cave de l’Avenue’s own contact and request the current dining menu with its prices. La Cave de l’Avenue.

Cellier Belle Epoque — Perrier-Jouët by the glass or with food

26 avenue de Champagne. Perrier-Jouët’s Cellier combines a Champagne bar, seasonal cooking and a terrace. Its current page distinguishes a reserved four-course food-pairing menu from an all-day à la carte menu requiring no booking. Choose the first for a structured meal and the second for a flexible glass-and-food stop; the house’s linked menus give the current dishes and quote. The Cellier states wheelchair access and no parking on site. Check the current menu and price on the official booking page. Cellier Belle Epoque menus and reservations.

Maison Belle Epoque — the Art Nouveau celebration meal

11 avenue de Champagne. Perrier-Jouët’s late-nineteenth-century residence offers a five-course gastronomic experience at €390 per person including VAT (checked October 2026), with each course paired with a house cuvée. Chef Sébastien Morellon develops the cooking under Pierre Gagnaire’s creative influence. Book by telephone or email using the house’s official page. The Art Nouveau collection gives this meal a setting distinct from a Champagne bar: lunch is listed Tuesday–Saturday and dinner Tuesday–Thursday, by reservation. Its displayed Summer 2026 menu is a dated example; ask for the menu for your booking date. Maison Belle Epoque dining.

L’Écurie — de Venoge’s converted stable bar

33 avenue de Champagne. L’Écurie occupies the restored late-nineteenth-century stable of de Venoge’s estate. The June 2026 official bar menu lists four glasses of Princes at €70 (checked October 2026); the bar also serves tasting plates. Order the bar flight if comparing the Princes wines appeals, and select the food from the menu offered during your visit. This is a bar purchase, separate from a guided mansion visit: the estate’s Premium tour and Collection Princes tasting have their own booking formats. The official L’Écurie page provides the bar contact. L’Écurie at de Venoge.

Bulles & Bonheur — a small dining room with Élodie D.

73 avenue de Champagne. Chef Prodip Turi cooks in a nineteenth-century guesthouse associated with Champagne Élodie D. The tourist office lists an 18-cover restaurant with vineyard views: reserve for the number of guests in your party, especially for a celebration. Its five-course menu is €85 food-only or €145 with Champagne pairings; seven courses are €125 or €215 with pairings (checked October 2026). A three-course lunch is listed at €40 (checked October 2026). Choose the course count and pairing when enquiring, since those are substantially different bills. Bulles & Bonheur reservations.

Central Épernay: brasseries, bistros and a glass after dinner

La Grillade Gourmande — wood-fired cooking on rue de Reims

16 rue de Reims. Christophe and Kristel Bernard’s restaurant specialises in wood-fired meat and fish, with Champagne-region cooking also represented. The tourist office publishes adult menus from €42 to €69 (checked October 2026), with 45 indoor covers and a further 45 on the terrace. Pick the wood-fired section of the current menu for the restaurant’s defining style, then select the actual cut or fish offered for your date. Its published 2026 schedule closes Sunday and Monday, so a Sunday-lunch itinerary needs another address. La Grillade Gourmande menus and booking.

La Table Kobus — a Parisian-brasserie setting

3 rue du Docteur Rousseau. Chef Guillaume Bachelez’s restaurant brings a 1900-style Parisian brasserie interior to Épernay, with marble tables and a cherrywood bar. The tourist office lists adult menus at €32.50–€48.50 and a €19 Menu Ardoise offered at lunch and on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings (checked October 2026). Choose the Ardoise only for an eligible service, and read the day’s dishes through the restaurant’s own reservation route. Its listed 70 covers make it a different-scale room from the 18-cover Bulles & Bonheur. La Table Kobus reservations.

La Cave à Champagne — regional cooking on rue Gambetta

16 rue Gambetta. Alexandre Ocio’s restaurant serves traditional regional cooking, with offal among its specialities. The tourist office publishes an adult menu at €27 (checked October 2026). Choose the regional menu and ask which offal dishes feature at the service you book; a speciality description does not fix the day’s ingredients. The listing gives 110 covers and separate group menus for parties of at least 20, so an eight-person celebration should use the ordinary restaurant booking contact. La Cave à Champagne official website.

Le P’tit Champenois — dinner in vaulted cellars

8 rue Gambetta. Le P’tit Champenois offers a different room from the Avenue’s terraces: the tourist office describes vaulted cellars and regional cooking based on local products. Its listing gives 80 covers. Choose from the regional dishes on its own current menu and request a price with your table enquiry; the official tourism listing did not publish a current numeric tariff. The address is on the same street as La Cave à Champagne at number 16, so use the full restaurant name when sending a meeting point to your party. Le P’tit Champenois.

Cook’In — French and Thai cooking

18 rue Porte Lucas. Chef Guillaume Rousseaux’s Cook’In combines French and Thai influences, with two dining rooms and a lounge. Épernay Tourist Office lists 40 covers and a weekday lunch menu range of €12–€22 (checked October 2026). That is a weekday-lunch figure, not a weekend dinner budget. Choose from the restaurant’s French–Thai menu and use its official website for the day’s dishes and reservation. This gives a named alternative to the traditional regional kitchens on rue Gambetta without requiring a meal at a Champagne house. Cook’In menus and bookings.

Le Vintage — a central wine and Champagne bar

15 rue Saint-Thibault. The Épernay tourist office classifies Le Vintage as a wine-and-Champagne bar, pub and bistro. Start with its glass list for the available Champagne and ask what food is served at your chosen time; the bar’s glass and food lists supply the available choices and tariffs. The published contact is +33 9 81 04 37 16. Give the street address when arranging a meeting: Le Wine Bar by Le Vintage on Place du Forum is in Reims, a different town and venue from this Épernay address. Le Vintage tourist-office details.

Two more Épernay addresses for a substantial meal

Au Petit Fourneau — baked potatoes, cheese and casseroles

31 rue de l’Hôpital Auban-Moët. Valérie Nguyen’s restaurant specialises in baked potatoes with different cheeses, alongside fondue and seasonal casseroles. Those are the named food styles to look for on its menu. The tourist office lists adult menus from €20 to €30, a plat du jour at €14 and a children’s menu at €9 (checked October 2026). With 80 indoor covers and 20 terrace places, it is a substantial restaurant outside the Avenue’s house-bar sequence. Use the official menu and reservation contact for the day’s potato fillings and casserole. Au Petit Fourneau.

À l’Œil de Bœuf — the beef-specialist table

40 rue de Sézanne. Chef Laurence Demarle’s restaurant focuses on beef and grilled cooking; the tourist office also records vegetarian options. The published weekday-lunch menu range is €13–€21, with a children’s menu at €12 (checked October 2026). Choose the current beef selection if that is the reason for your visit, and ask the restaurant for the actual cuts, preparation and price. Its listed capacity is 70 indoors and 30 on the terrace. Rue de Sézanne is the address to use, distinct from the rue Gambetta bistros. À l’Œil de Bœuf details and contact.

Make the reservation fit the tasting day

At Perrier-Jouët, reserve the Cellier’s four-course pairing menu or Maison Belle Epoque’s five-course meal as a dining booking. A house tasting reservation is a separate experience. De Venoge likewise separates L’Écurie’s four-glass Princes bar flight from its mansion visit. Put the restaurant’s own booking reference beside the house ticket in your itinerary so a party arriving at 26 avenue de Champagne knows whether it has a table, a tasting or an all-day bar stop.

For a mixed group, Au Petit Fourneau and À l’Œil de Bœuf publish children’s menus, while the latter’s tourist-office listing records vegetarian choices. Send dietary requirements with the reservation at Bulles & Bonheur’s 18-cover room or Maison Belle Epoque’s paired menu. Those kitchens work with a defined course format; the written reply to your enquiry supplies the agreed dishes and substitutions for your party.

For a Sunday in Épernay, La Grillade Gourmande’s published closure on Sunday and Monday matters more than its menu range. Build the day around an actual restaurant reservation. Cellier Belle Epoque’s own page lists Thursday–Monday opening with Tuesday and Wednesday closure, and distinguishes its unreserved all-day menu from reserved dining. Its page currently contains an inconsistent AM/PM opening-time label, so use the booking reply for your arrival time.

  • Bring a layer for cooler underground spaces.
  • Arrange transport before tasting; never drink and drive.

What a Brit travelling here needs to know

  • Rail and flights: Eurostar links London St Pancras with Paris Gare du Nord; Reims and Épernay trains leave Paris Gare de l’Est. For a flight arrival, compare Paris Charles de Gaulle with your onward SNCF station and date in the transport guide.
  • Documents: for a British-citizen passport, GOV.UK specifies an issue date less than 10 years before arrival and expiry at least 3 months after leaving Schengen. Visa-free tourist visits are limited to 90 days in any 180. Read the current official entry requirements.
  • Money, language and clocks: France uses euros (€) and French; Champagne is 1 hour ahead of the UK. Select English explicitly on a house’s reservation page.
  • Local travel: Reims Centre and Champagne-Ardenne TGV are different stations. Épernay’s station serves the Avenue de Champagne; Hautvillers needs a road transfer. Use the car-free guide for named rail, taxi and tour options.
