Now this is an easy statement to make: The Assiette Champenoise by Arnaud Lallement is easily one of the world’s best restaurants, and I mean top 15-20 or so best. It’s just that good. Located in Reims (Tinqueux actually, a suburb of sorts or “next small town over” scenario, if you prefer, but let’s not quibble) the Assiette Champenoiseis a monument to all that is good and great in Gallic cuisine that so many all over the world try to emulate and rarely succeed.
