Le Domaine de Vincine

Welcome to Vincine and Laurent ! Passionate about cooking and driven by the desire to make people discover their homemade, authentic, tasty and comforting dishes, the couple decided to take the step of reconversion after twenty years of a first professional life: she in the dining room, he in the kitchen. They welcome you in their “domain” in the heart of downtown Epernayjust a few steps from the covered market halls. A wine bar-restaurant shaped in their image, where conviviality, sharing, greed and relaxation are the key words.

The Domaine de Vincine is the perfect address for a dinner for two. The setting is cosy, with a soothing décor that gives pride of place to plants and warm wood tones. The menu, deliberately short, honors fresh products from the richness of the Epernay region. Vincine and Laurent have carefully selected them from craftsmen, farmers and passionate wine growers, whose values they share and whose know-how they wish to promote.

Cook'in

Cook’in is the meeting of two gastronomic cultures : French cuisine and Thai cuisine in the heart of Champagne. A perfect fusion, just like the couple who founded the restaurant: Guillaume, in the kitchen, and Uma, in the dining room.

Since 2010, the establishment has been delighting those in search of new flavors, with a touch of exoticism that elegantly enhances fresh, local and organic products according to the season. Thai-style ceviche, chicken wok with red curry and basil or salmon soup with coconut milk, at the Cook’in, everything is homemade! The atmosphere is intimate, ideal for a romantic meal. Recommended by the Michelin Guide, the establishment also offers a beautiful wine and champagne list. An invitation to discover the know-how of the wine growers of Epernay and its villages.

Au Petit Fourneau

A few steps away from the city center of Epernay, in a charmingly old-fashioned setting, enjoy a special moment as a couple. The welcome is warm, the atmosphere soft and friendly, like at home. Egg casserole, homemade foie gras terrine, Rheims ham casserole, sweetbread “bouchée à la reine”, choose traditional French cuisine by booking a table for 2 at Au Petit Fourneau! Other dishes are worth the detour, all cooked with fresh, quality products. The specialty of the house? Baked potatoes.
