La Cave a Champagne

My wife I have visited this restaurant on numerous occasions but thus last visit was not a good one!
Apart from the general shabbiness of the restaurant which on previous occasions I have ignored as the staff and atmosphere we’re delightful the restaurant itself is not breaking any records for its décor or ambiance. In fact on our last visit they had modestly redecorated one side of the narrow dining room though my wife didn’t even notice.
We had the same «menu gormand» as we have done on previous occasions. Maybe it was the decision not to spend the day champagne tasting that affected the quality of the meal but I couldn’t help feeling that something had gone amiss in the kitchen and dining room. Our meal felt rushed and dishes that had before left a lasting impression seemed bland and uninspiring. The staff were curt and to the point where as only the year before they were jovial and convivial.
I think it’s time to find a new restaurant for dinner and I with the Cave all the best in the future but I won’t be dining there again for a while.

Tres bon rapport qualite prix. Service «ok». Tables trop serrees les unes des autres. Pas envie de manger avec mon voisin. trop chaud dans la salle du fond ou l on sait a peine respirer. Demandez la salle de devant ou la porte est ouverte. Les menus proposes sont corrects.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about La Cave a Champagne. My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner and were impressed by the quality of food for a reasonable price.
This restaurant is small and very nondescript on the outside — if you walk by too fast you’ll definitely miss it! They offer a 3 course menu for roughly 25 Euro that includes an appetizer, entrée and dessert. I had the beef burgundy for my entrée and it was outstanding. The sorbet for dessert and the cheese plate are a must as well.
They also have a few more innovative dishes for the more adventurous eater… I even had foie for the first time and found it to be quite good!
Enjoy your meal with a glass of wine or champagne. This place is a must if you are ever in Epernay.

Très chouette petit resto. Ambiance chaleureuse et plats raffinés. Le personnel est très sympathique et ont de bon conseils pour allier votre plat à une bonne bouteille de champagne. N’hésitez pas à demander l’adresse de la cave du champagne que vous avez dégusté si vous voulez en faire un stock.

Atmosphere: It was very clean. We sat in the back of the restaurant due to our group size.
Food:
Duck: The duck fell apart with the red wine reduction sauce. delicious! The noodles weren’t necessary on the plate but I’d eat it anyways.
Salmon — The salmon was cooked perfectly. I think it was sousvide. The champange cream sauce was creamy and savory which complimented the delicate salmon very well.
Dessert — I have no clue what it was but it wasn’t that good haha tasted like medicine.
Wine — both red and white were good. I ended drinking more than I should =) …a little tipsy at the end of the meal.
Overall, I wouldn’t mind doing this champage tour again just for the food. I’d heard good and bad reviews of this place but I loved every moment of it.

Bön rapport qualité/​prix
Bön rapport qualité/​prix. Seul bémol les clients sont vraiment trop serrés dans la première salle, ce qui gache quand même le repas, on a l’impression d’être à la même table que son voisin. En revanche la salle du fond est agréable, noubliez pas de la demander lors de votre réservation.

Pas mal
Menu très correct à 16 euros. Salade aux foies de volaille qui aurait peut être mérité une salade de meilleure qualité (molle ce qui donnait une impression d’être limite en fraîcheur et baignant dans une ?? vinaigrette ??), plat principal très bon et un riz au lait au caramel à l’orange délicieux et joliment présenté. La carte est variée, le service très rapide, une adresse idéale pour un déjeuner express ! Par contre la coupe de champagne (un peu tiède) à 17 euros, c’est vraiment abusé ! Tarif parisien et encore, dans des restaurants chers ! Dommage…
