Assiette Champenoise.

Located in Tinqueux just outside Reims, L’Assiette Champenoise is a family-run five-star retreat that masks its ultra-modern interior behind a traditional brick facade. While the Lallement family has operated the estate since 1986, the current atmosphere is decidedly contemporary, defined by sharp lines, glass walls, and a minimalist aesthetic. The 33 rooms and suites offer a hushed, high-end escape, but the primary draw is the kitchen, where Chef Arnaud Lallement crafts technical, sauce-driven French cuisine that has anchored the property’s reputation for decades. Between meals, the experience is defined by the surrounding private park—home to a kitchen garden, greenhouse, and beehives—and a sleek heated indoor pool. It is a seamless immersion into Champagne’s culinary culture.
