Le Foch

4,5/5 A nice address: used to be a michelin starred restaurant for a couple of decades, lost it but kept the service standards and the gourmet quality of its menu. We tried it with a special menu offer that included a 2014 Comte de Champagne Taittinger bottle for a very interesting price. However, I was surprised when they announced at the table that the bottle would be replaced by another brand - a 2012 CELEBRIS from maison Gosset. It was tasty, and fruity, quite delicate… but I must admit my disappointment with the switch. Firstly, the waiter greeted us with a mix of delicate amuse-bouches, of which the foie gras was my favorite! We were served virtual ravioles of scallops and oyster - very good taste, fresh, sea flavors compacted in a dish. Followed by a whole sea bass cooked in clay (from Vallauris apparently) with mashed potatoes - their signature dish, the fish was delicious, evenly cooked, mashed potatoes were nice. Dessert was good, no fancy blends or flavors. Very good cuisine for the price charged, if you’re in for a fancy meal from time to time!

Beautiful place, high quality service ans excellent food. First, I was welcomed with 5 various amuse-bouches, really nice! I decided to take menu gourmand: scallops&oysters tartar, lamb meat with cereals, apricots and dates, amazing choice of French cheeses and chocolate dessert. Every single meal were outstanding, thank you very much for this wonderful experience.

Everything was what one would expect at a Michelin-starred (2003) restaurant. Creative dishes, good quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, and overall a great culinary excellence with a substantial menu dégustation. We were celebrating our anniversary and a birthday; they took note of that and added a nice subtle touch to the dessert course 😀Class act!

One of the best meals in Europe out of 3 weeks of eating nonstop in Michelin restaurants . This restaurant deserves 2 Michelin stars as the food quality is amazing, the value for $ is incredible and the service is on point, the wine list is extensive and the cheese cart is to die for as is the the coffee menu offering 10-12 selections.I can’t say more! It is amazing must visit for true lovers of gastronomy and wine.

We had heard Le Foch was a great deal. We had heard the food was good. We went and were still stunned. First of all, the food is truly excellent. Almost every dish was an absolute hit. We enjoyed the food here more than we enjoyed far more expensive and storied restaurants in Paris. Second, the price is criminally low. Of course, we are anchored a bit too high having come from Paris, but we felt we were paying half as much as we should have for the meal. That said, the service is really mediocre. They do not have enough staff, and the speed and quality of service do not match the fine dining experience you'd expect. But still, absolutely 5 stars because the food and price are just out of this world.

Bravo! We had the signature dish, sea bass in clay, as part of our menue. The whole menu convinced throughout with magnificent pairing of natural flavors of the ingredients: Masterful, minimalist, perfect, brilliant. The handling of the drinks and food, from the decanting of the 2016 white wine, then into the ice, and the fileting of the fish in the clay crust: expertly and perfect! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

My favourite restaurant in Reims! The Michelin star is well-deserved! We did a 5-course lunch menu. Absolutely delicious! Great service and great ambience. A must visit!

For a break in my Michelin Stars Challenge in Paris (and 3 stars in France, follow me for all the reviews), I went to Reims. I wanted to try two local references (the third stars is coming later). The establishment. What’s interesting here? You get a feeling it’s the establishment of choice for a Michelin star night for a local. Of course you have 2 and 3 stars around. But if you want « just » a one star, with a family feeling, with a good ratio of locals. It’s the place. The manager who is also the wife of the chef and the wine expert, is the spirit of the room. The cuisine is quite personal. The chef expresses himself, but without being too present. He has a true personality. Bottom line, you won’t go wrong food wise. The crowd is the upscale outside of Paris crowd, but the food and the service makes you easily for this and spend a good time. Understandably a solid one star

We had a pretty good dinner here. The highlights were: * Blue lobster, tomato water, and basil sorbet * Sea bass cooked on the skin, chanterelles, gnocchi, and Coteaux de Layon * Fig pavlova * Opera cake with arabica coffee ice cream * More miniature desserts to end the meal! The lamb from Lozère, goat cheese ravioli, and zucchini flower dish was just okay, but I have found that France in general does not prepare meats as well as the U.S. At the end of the meal, just when I thought I couldn't stuff more food into my stomach, the staff brought out more miniature desserts...which I managed to somehow squeeze into me. Did I mention there were more miniature desserts after the actual dessert course yet?!

Amazing! Food and ambience. Service was very good as well. They speak limited English.

We made a reservation where they stated it would be 400 Euro if we didn't show up. We showed up 5 minutes early and they said our reservation had been cancelled. When we showed our reservation confirmation she said that the email stated it was cancelled. She tried to look at the email and realized it didn't say cancelled. So then she showed us her computer. Why make a reservation if they don't stick to it? Don't even bother.

The best lunch deal in Champagne! Okay, it's a 1 Michelin Star restaurant, so it's not cheap, but very reasonably priced for the quality of food. The service was precise and efficient, which was important to us as we had a transport reservation. I ordered the 5 course chefs menu, and wish I had taken a picture of the menu as well as the food, as the menu changes. The lobster and fish dishes were both delicious, and the dessert was a flaky pastry with raspberries and cream. This place is definitely worth a visit!

It was a very busy place but had a nice atmosphere. We started out with the seafood platter that had snails, oysters, and lobster. We also had the foie gras which was great. I had fish with vegetables. It was cooked great. The dessert was a lemon meringue. It was fabulous. The negative was that our server was not very helpful and she seemed like she was brand new. We tried to be patient but it took almost 4 hours for dinner. We all had to get up and move around at some point in the night. 4 hours is too long!

Outstanding cuisine for a relatively moderate price. This is your perfect introduction to classical French cuisine. I would recommend to anyone who is eager to be introduced to real French cuisine. For a one star Michelin it is really excellent and refined, service is great as well. Accompanied with a nice glass of champagne from the local vineyards, a great experience.

We chose the restaurant due to Guide Michelin Rating (1 Star). As part of a trip to the champagne region we ordered a 5-course menu with pairing champagnes in advance. When arriving the welcome of the (female) maitre was rather cold and desinterested. Unfortunaltely no one was able or willing to speak English. Out of the five pre-ordered champagnes only two were in fact served. Instead the courses were served so quickly that we assumed to leave the restaurant within 45 Minutes. The waiters seemed to be very unmotivated and ignorant. The food quality was far below the level of one star (Guide Michelin). Some ingredients had supermarket quality, some courses were over- others underseasoned. All of the courses were as spiritless as the waiters. At the end we were happy to leave early and save money for the not served champagnes. Never again, Le Foch! It was disgusting! Fortunately we visited Les Crayers and L'Assiette champenoise the following evenings and we were very happy there.

Excellent. From start to finish. Every plate is a discovery of colors and flavors. Fantastic mix of perfection and innovation. Strongly recommend.

Very happy with this one. You can choose between set menu options or a la carte. We chose the cheapest set menu (5 courses at 51 euro each) not because it was cheapest but because it seemed the most interesting. So between 2 people this meant 10 different gastronomic creations - each enjoyable, and overall very very filling. I think the price is pretty good for what we got and given the 1 star rating. Service was good - they made one mistake for me and were appropriately apologetic (not common in France). Massive wine selection if you know your wines (I don't!), with prices marked up a little as can be expected for a restaurant. A few recommendations - the duck tartare, deer fillet and the pineapple dessert. And of course avoid the foie gras if you don't agree with animals being force fed with hoses down their throats.
