  • 1. Le Parc

    $$$$

    Legendary chef Gérard Boyer made Le Parc the most famous haute gastronomic restaurant in Reims, and now Philippe Mille has regained the heights of Boyer's era with his talent for modern, but generous, cuisine. Prepared with precision, the product-inspired dishes ooze enthusiasm, including scallops with white-truffle sauce and foie gras poached in borscht. An extensive wine list pays homage to Reims's Champagne heritage, while the attentive service ensures that guests feel properly pampered.  For something less formal, reserve a table at the brasserie Les Jardins, which has a large terrace and a light-filled contemporary dining room with a view of the chefs at work in the kitchen.
