L'Atelier d'Etoges - Restaurant Brasserie — Restaurant in Épernay

I am giving this restaurant 5 stars because I was surprised how generous the portions were and how much they cared about the quality. My husband and I both decided on the meat of the day (which was lamb) and basmati rice. My husband had the pleasure of being seated so he could see the chef in the kitchen. When he made our plate, my husband said, “I hope that is ours because it looks fantastic!” As luck would have it, it was ours. All the dishes that we saw come out of the kitchen looked wonderful.

We left for another hotel. Take away the novelty of being in a chateau and you're left with an awful property with poor management who in our opinion are cowards in completely ignoring legitimate...

Nous sommes revenues en famille à L'Atelier avec un grand plaisir. Réservation effectuée. Accueil chaleureux et garçon de salle dynamique. Suggestion du jour : bar / filet de canette. J'ai opté pour la canette qui était saisie à merveille et très tendre. Les accompagnements sont servis dans un bol à part et c'est également appréciable. Il y a eu plusieurs glaces en dessert (dame blanche et café liégeois) et tous ont été unanime : chantilly faite maison fraîche et légère, glaces de qualité goûteuses et généreuses... Le petit plus : visiter le jardin du château qui est magnifique et en accès libre.
