BULLES ET BONHEUR

Fantastic place to chill out and enjoy oak barrel aged champagne.

This restaurant is a very rare find and has been the highlight of our trip to Champagne. It’s a family owned Champagne house which has recently opened a restaurant at their address in Epernay.

Food: The food is of the highest standards and is very well executed without being overly pretentious. We had the five course ‘Elodie’ tasting menu with matched wines and every course was exceptional.

Atmosphere: It is a family run operation in the very best sense. Fabrice (front of house and husband of Elodie the winemaker) is a self-deprecating and charming ex rugby player who is perfectly suited for hosting what feels like a very professional dinner party spread over multiple tables.

Wine: We took the wine pairing with each course and each complimented their respective dish very well, showcasing the varied styles of their wines. The champagnes were fantastic and varied. I don’t know if the pairings stay the same but for us the 1990 vintage with the cheese course was a particularly unexpected highlight.

Service: As mentioned above, Fabrice really made our meal but all of the staff were fantastic. My wife was pregnant when we visited and despite only telling them when we arrived they made the effort of making a non-raw fish amuse bouche for her and also were aware of which cheeses were unpasteurised. We never had a long wait between any course and our glasses were always charged.

Overall I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. It’s intimate, family run, with exceptional food and an interesting wine paring. The intimate setting and great hosting round up to a perfect evening out.

So friendly and such a cute place to share some wine & snacks.
