    main entrance to the chateau.
    Mike O.

    TOP FIVE MEALS OF MY LIFE. Escape and surrender to a team of hospitality professionals and masters of cuisine with service and food fit for a king. (closed in January) Thanks to Yelp's entry into France, I can finally share my experience of Les Crayeres with my fellow Yelpers. Reims is a day trip from Paris and in the heart of Champagne. Les Crayeres is a fine hotel with a Michelin starred restaurant to boot. Make your reservation for lunch and catch the train from Gare D'Est to Reims. Catch a taxi from the Reims station and be transported to heaven. ACCUEIL AND LOUNGE Upon your arrival at the hotel, you will be shown to the lounge where you may enjoy an aperitif after your journey and otherwise relax before your meal. You are in Reims at the heart of Champagne: order a Kir Royale and you may be escorted quickly and firmly kicked out of the building. Your captain will arrive with the menu and help you to make your selections in dialogue with the kitchen. When ready, the dining room awaits your entrance. Poise, understated elegance, grace, and timing to the second all combine to perfection in service. Real linen tablecloths, rich tapestries, fresh flower cuttings and fine crystal mix with the beautiful view of the grounds and gardens below the chateau. Doesn't get much better than this! AMUSE first arrives a presentation of butter sculpture under glass and atop a slab of white marble. my choice of breads begins with the second (first was in the lounge) of fifteen glasses of Louis Roderer Champagne. -- aspic of lobster, anise and dill creme APPETIZERS My favorite dish in the world is saute of fois gras. I only had to wait one course for it! -- Fois gras de Canard poele Navet a l'Aigre Doux & Copeaux de Noisette Louis Roederer Brut Premier Asparagus soup with a delectable slice of ham. -- Creme d'Aperge Verte Quenelle de Faisselle au Jambon Ibaiona Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs Millesime 2004 AMUSE -- Baby Lobster tail with roasted potato foam and creme fraiche. FISH John Dory with a lemon glaze sauce, broccoli and baby shrimps -- Dos de Saint Pierre braise au Citron Brocoletti & Crevette Louis Roederer Cristal 2002 MEAT Pigeon with the most delectable reduction I have ever had. The champagne is going toward my sweet tastes with a Rose. -- Pigeon roti a la Broche Chutney de Pomme & Choux Rave carmelise Louis Roederer Rose Millesime 2005 DESSERTS Petit Fours with LR Demi Sec (NOW WE'RE TALKING!) -- Mini Noix de Coco auc Coeurs glaces More Demi Sec Finishing with -- Caramel & Fruits de la Passion Barre croustillante aux Copeaux de Pomme a la Fleur de Sel Louis Roederer Sec Combined with a hotel stay and dinner, I could easily see Les Crayeres as a honeymoon dream vacation. Just be sure to pack your Black Amex. Lunch "twelve-euro-signs".

    Photos don't do the hotel/castle justice as they make it look dated, which it isn't. Great staff, excellent cuisine, and really just a magical setting close to many of the best champagne tours.

    In my humble experiences of fine French gastronomy - having dined even most of three... and two, one stared restaurants and still going for something new;), so far this place sits on top of all ( in France by the way ;). I have stayed here for three nights and hotel itself was also fabulous, they organized my rather exclusive Champagne houses ( privately ) appointments as well ( coz everyone in that region obviously knows them ) but the restaurant itself of course exceeded my expectation. I liked Non-Asian-infusion, totally elegant and polished French featured caviar and accompanied with four different vintages of Crystal..plus more Champagne ;) Can't possibly go wrong... Service was very professional - Look forward to going back there already. If you ever have a chance to go to Reims please book ahead.

    Histamine-friendly dish! Various beets and white rice.

    This establishment is remarkable! Beautiful accommodations and lovely, attentive staff! The chef was willing to work with my (horrid and extensive) set of allergens, prepared a fabulous, vegan, safe meal for me, and also accommodated my daughter's vegan/GF needs, so that we could enjoy the four-hour dinner pairing my husband selected. It was a dreamy experience.

    While in Reims, try to stay at this elegant "Domaine Les Crayeres" a chateau hotel set in a magnifique parc We had a gorgeous room , with a huge Terasse and let me tell you , sipping a "coupe" , while looking at the gorgeous parc before diner is a pretty romantic way to start the night! The setting, the friendly but highly stylish staff , the food , it's all top notch. We had just drove from Paris so the first night , we all went to "le Jardin" the indoor and outdoor brasserie restaurant , near the herbs garden , we sat under huge lighted umbrellas, and even though it was full , we had a smooth service , I had the safran mi cuit salmon , a délice...we were with our 2 daughters and husbands, with their 8 and 9 months old babies ,who were in the rooms , but Thanks to Wifi , they could check on their telephone making sure they were Cosy , and sleeping . The 2nd night after a fantastic day of touring some Champagne houses , perfectly organized by les "Crayeres" , we ate at the Gastronomic restaurant lead by the talented chef : Philippe Mille "le Parc " For the first time , and if you are hungry, I would recommend the 12 courses menu , to sample everything on the menu , it 's a unique experience: when they bring you some of the food, (I forgot which dish) in a silver dome , it takes 2 staffers to delivers it to your plate, Ohlala! Let s feel like a Royalty tonight. The sommelier will also recommend the perfect paring wines , they will accommodate you with a classy suggestion , without this ostentatious "air " some French sommelier are known for.. Yes, It's classy , but not "stuffy", You can dress up or not , at your liking , as the ambiance is sophisticate, and relaxing , it is the French hospitality at his best! Honeymooners or family are welcomed and I just wish I lived closer than California , so I could spend more week ends there to unwind and just be spoiled!!

    The summit of French gastronomy is located in the elegant Chateau Les Crayeres. Chef Didier Elena has had almost a few years under his belt after taking over the three Michelin starred Chef Gerard Boyer and he did not disappoint. The best meal I have come across, the 6 course with wine pairing was steadily increasing in flavor as each plate was dropped off. Luckily my wife was there and she too ordered this tasting menu but with different meals, so it was like having 12 courses. The eggplant gelatin, tomato and mango reduction with bruscetta, ratatouille and risotto and goat cheese, braised pork belly on polenta with breasts of pigeon, seered sea bream and potatoes, veal shortbread, triple chocolate and cherries, and what seemed to be a spinoff of a peach cobbler. Did I mention the wine not to mention the champagne was fantastic? Delocious

    This restaurant is the jewel of Reims, in my opinion. It is absolutely stunning and the tasting menu and wine pairing that they offered were one of a kind. i chose to do an entire Dom Ruinart pairing with my meal, which was fantastic. Unparalleled actually. Each dish was carefully prepared to pair with each sublime champagne vintage. The service was outstanding and the ambiance was just gorgeous. I felt like a princess in my castle lol.

    Pouring our fine wine

    We needed a break and decided on Reims as lots to see & do; enough within 3 days including via the…read morechampagne houses on day 3 on the way back. This hotel got us out of the main drag (very advisable) but was still within an easy walk of all the main attractions Easy to book on phone; confirmatory email came immediately plus another so you could check in online if you wished The room was a superior double - its about right size-wise. You have a free bottle of water The reception desk was excellent every day - helpful, cheery, friendly The car park isn't bookable but we were able to park underground there - and the lift accesses the car park too which is really useful; it is only 12:50€ pd which is good news. There are others nearby as it turned out if it had been full, but then you need to know how they work All in all definitely recommendable FYI - restos (La Paix, Au Bureau, Waida, Che Diego, Haralds, Tablier, Cru Chanzty & Shamrock at Dizy) & sites (Reddition, Foujita, Cathedral, Tau, Mars Wall) & independent out of town Champagne Houses (Lejeune Pere & Fils, Gaston Chiquet & M Fagot) we visited written up as well on Yelp One general comment, its not worth bothering with the main champagne houses; they all charge to take the tour when all you really want to do is sip, choose, buy (or not)...it would have been nice to go round Pommery to see the art but you have to take the tour; and as for one of the main reasons for going to Reims (to buy Theophile Roederer as opposed to Louis), I rang them...no idea when the tours are, nor how much nor is there is any room on them, send us an email and they will get back to you...forget it!!! So, stick to the smaller places

    Staying in Reims? This isn't a bad place to stay. The rooms…read moreare fine - not huge but not as small as some I've stayed in. Bathroom is fine. Free wifi. BBC & CNN on the TV. Decent free breakfast. Everyone speaks english. The only issue is that you are about 5 blocks from the main pedestrian area - I don't mind the walk as it's a fine area. Also some rooms face the back and every now and then a stupid large truck would bang around early in the morning.
