Gault&Millau's review 2026

Facing the cathedral and its famous smiling angel, in a former fire station transformed into a charming hotel, chef Julien Raphanel uses simple seasonal produce such as pears, carrots, endive and celery to create textures and flavors; they accompany a carpaccio of scallops with a pear extraction vinaigrette, a red mullet golden and grilled on the skin, melting in the heart, or a ballottine of poultry and carrot tartlet, raw, tangy or roasted with local mustard, all presented in beautiful, clear and coherent plates. The chef innovates and his creations are the fruit of intelligent thought, where every detail counts, like this honey dessert with its dome reminiscent of beehive cells. The wine list covers all the regions, with top-flight wines, with an emphasis on champagne, not forgetting the lesser-known but sought-after red wines from the Montagne de Reims. One more point.
