Assiette Champenoise

L’Assiette Champenoise is a family-run maison in Champagne, led by Chef Arnaud Lallement, with Magali and Mélanie overseeing dining and hotel. Founded 1975 by Jean‑Pierre and Colette Lallement, moved to Tinqueux 1987 and passed to Arnaud 2000; it holds 3 Michelin stars and numerous distinctions. The kitchen champions authenticity and emotion: precision, contemporary creativity and respect for Champagne‑Ardenne producers. Local, seasonal sourcing via long-term ties with breeders, fishermen and market gardeners is complemented by an estate potager, greenhouse and apiary that supply vegetables, fruit and honey. Ecotable certification and kitchen practices reduce waste and favour short transport chains; an exceptional wine and champagne programme and refined service complete a family-oriented setting highlighting tradition and modernity. Dining rooms and bar offer an elegant, refined and convivial atmosphere with polished service; the bar interior is cosy and the outdoor terrace overlooks a landscaped park with design furniture and a bioclimatic pergola. The cuisine is contemporary French fine dining that elevates Champagne terroir through precise technique, mastery of acidity and seasonal, market-driven compositions; dishes balance tradition and innovation and change with the market and estate potager. Chef Arnaud Lallement. Specialities: Oscietre caviar with smoked haddock and B. Deloffre potato; Blue lobster (Homard Bleu) with head jus; Royal langoustine (Langoustine Royale) roasted with Vale Douro olive oil and creamy shellfish nage.
