Arnaud Lallement

Arnaud Lallement is the chef and proprietor of L'Assiette Champenoise in Tinqueux, near Reims, the family restaurant his parents, Jean-Pierre and Colette Lallement, opened in Châlons-sur-Vesle in 1975 and moved to Tinqueux in 1987. After training with Roger Vergé, Michel Guérard and Alain Chapel, he joined his father's kitchen in 1997 and took over the house in the early 2000s. The restaurant won Michelin stars in 2001, 2005 and 2014 and holds three stars in the 2026 Michelin Guide France. His blue lobster, "Hommage à mon Papa," is a tribute to his father, who died in 2002. His wife, Magali, runs the dining room, his sister, Mélanie, runs the hotel, and his son, Brice, joined the kitchen in 2024 after training with Anne-Sophie Pic, Alexandre Gauthier, David Kinch at Manresa, and Yannick Alléno and Arnaud Donckele at Cheval Blanc.
