    L'Assiette Champenoise is a family restaurant and hotel in Tinqueux, near Reims. Arnaud Lallement took over in 2002 and has held three Michelin stars since 2014. The continuity is culinary as well as familial: blue lobster cooked as a tribute to his father remains a signature.

    One house, several formats

    The current offer spans Émotion, Saveur and Goût menus, a Krug kitchen experience, a vegetable-focused menu and à-la-carte dishes. The house says compositions change throughout the year, so a menu title indicates a format rather than a permanent sequence of plates.

    People and place

    Magali Lallement works in the dining room and Mélanie Lallement manages the hotel. The restaurant emphasizes Champagne-Ardenne produce while bringing in seafood through long supplier relationships. Its technical story is best read in individual dishes and sourcing rather than a generic claim that every ingredient is local.
