The BEST Restaurant in Champagne - L'Assiette Champenoise (3 Michelin Star)

#ArnaudLallement #AssietteChampenoise #3michelinstar
Today we go to one of the most important places on earth. The one and only province of champagne. The city is called Reims and home to our restaurant for today L'Assiette Champenoise.
It all started in 1975 when Jean-Pierre Lallement and his wife Colette opened a restaurant.
This restaurant has 3 Michelin Stars since 2014.
We go for the 6-course Emotion menu for 355 euros. The start was so memorable with the best starting dish ever. It gave me goosebumps!

Currently, I’m on my way to Singapore to visit the 3 Michelin Star restaurants there. Follow my journey on instagram as well: instagram.com/alexandertheguest Cheers! 🥂

[@shironium]

hi alex! can I ask if you make a review video for every 3 michelin star restaurant you visit? and how long does it take for you to release the video after you visited the place? thanks as always for making these videos!

[@Aphex271]

I discovered your channel last week and was going to recommend Central in Peru even though Michelin often neglects South America, and then I saw that you were visiting them! Central is a celebration of Peruvian techniques and ingredients, they even have their own research team to find new ingredients in our country, I'm eagerly waiting for your video on them.

[@geoffreyk9164]

Safe travels to Singapore. We’re waiting for you in Lima.

[@geoffreyk9164]

@@Aphex271, I just ate at Central a few weeks ago- very interesting mission and enjoyed a few of the dishes so will be interested to hear Alexander’s review. Regarding the Michelin Guide, I also have oftentimes said that it is shameful that Latin American countries/cities don’t have guides, but learned recently that their expansion (to Rio and São Paulo for example) was the result of the tourism board there paying the company to start making a guide.

[@silasprins3861]

how do you afford this? xD

Alex hitting us with another top quality video. This channel will be at 1 million subs by the end of June.

[@tjmmckelvey]

Mans going to sell his restaurant

[@Teamtormentor]

​@@tjmmckelvey I think his goal is to make these videos to gain subs for when his restaurant does hit 3 Michelin stars and promote his own restaurant.

[@ralph4640]

​@@Teamtormentor when it hit 3 stars it doesnt need promotion anymore

[@davidhunternyc1]

I love this channel too. I just hope that the more popular Alex gets, he doesn't turn into a monster.

[@MurderBong]

NOPE. SORRY. THE ALGORITHM DOESN’T ACCOUNT FOR QUALITY, UNFORTUNATELY. 😢

[@EwokEight]

Your commentary on these videos is very valuable. There are other gourmet dining channels on KZbin but the way you string it all together really makes a difference. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next upload! Cheers to your exceptional videos!

This channel is addictive. The content, video, editing, sound, knowledge, opinions. It is such a joy to watch it, I do not even skip forward.

[@MrInzeo]

I love how honest you were with every part of meals.

Finding out Alex isn't French has me questioning my own existence 😂 Loving the videos!!

He’s Hungarian 😊

[@cesaresteinle920]

I also thought that while watching the first videos. It was difficult to tell from the pronunciation

[@technoCHOPS1134]

As a french i could tell firsthand because he doesnt have a terrible english accent like we all do :p

@@mehdislaoui8656 Now, for my untrained American ears, my impression was that his pronounciation of certain French culinary terms was really good! How did it sound to you?

[@dr_gus2111]

I'm so glad you did L'Assiette Champenoise (i was waiting for it !), where I had the privilege to eat last summer (best gift ever for my birthday by my wife). We ate at the marble table. It was the first and only michelin star restaurant I did ; so I totally agree with the feeling of having being hit by a freight train with the starter ! It was our favorite dish of the whole menu. I think the pollen might have a lot to do with this unique and unusual flavor... Unless they have change the recipe, I don't think it's lemongrass with the beetroot, but lovage (livèche, in french), the ancestor of celery (or maybe there is both). I never tasted lovage before, and I loved it, the balance with the beetroot was amazing. The service was near perfect for us, except one unfortunate joke by a service member (when I was in the restroom he told my wife he hoped I would come back and not run away without paying). Some lack of elegance indeed, but it was an isolated mistake. Everything else was incredible (I took the wine pairing but it wasn't the same wines as yours, personnaly I had nothing to complain about from the start to finish). L'Assiette Champenoise has got for 2023 the 2nd best note for the best restaurants in the world by La Liste. They also won the special prize "Ethical and Environnemental Responsability" ; every organic waste is reused as fertilizer for their vegetable garden (after dehydration). I'm not a die-hard environmentalist by any mean but I find it pretty cool and full of common sense. It's a pleasure to watch your videos, your commentary is a really good balance with enjoyment and respectful review. (sorry if my english is not perfect)

[@kubaszwarc8093]

I'm not into gastronomy but something about these videos, maybe the quality or the commentary, just makes me want to watch more and more.

[@Gioachino_Orsini]

You will reach the millions upon millions of subscribers. Its just time. Be prepared my dear friend for your channel is going to blow up very soon 🎉🎉. 🙏⭐

[@orvillehenry6479]

I absolutely love the honesty and the fact that you are experiencing these restaurants and sharing them with us.

[@Food-Journeys]

Still baffled how you these videos continue to improve, and they were already so good.

[@Gcuso]

A restaurant review and a history lesson on champagne, good stuff. Excellent video as always, looking forward to the Singapore reviews.

[@kartofle123]

I agree with you Alexander about making a human connection with restaurant staff. No matter how good the food, if the staff are not happy or communicating well with the guest the experience will suffer.

[@bubbathemaster]

This is a really beautiful twist on traditional French cuisine. Everything looks so amazing!

[@ruthiemay423]

The white pedestal chairs are so 1980s. My husband and I still have a set.

[@jackk3967]

The magnum champagne information was very insightful! Keep up the hard work!!

[@jflynn495]

When I started watching it was because you kept appearing on my recommended, now I have changed my view of fine dinning as an expression of the chef and a work of art. Thank you.

[@alexllorin5757]

Man, that history lesson was sooo interesting! Incredible animations as well! This channel is just too good 😵‍💫

[@xZuunes]

This channel just keeps on delivering!

[@creepycanadatrev]

Brilliant video. Thanks Alex for bringing us on your amazing culinary journey

[@genssX]

I'm subscribed to a countless number of channels here, but this is a first one where I've actually watched all the videos start to finish, and subscribed with a notification for a new one. I also love that this video is slightly longer than previous ones, I think around 10 minute mark is ideal.

[@user-zw7mh6iv8p]

I love your evaluations and honesty. I also appreciate all of the details you provide.

[@melodydaly8046]

In Australia we are just waking up and what a wonderful way to start the day, with one of your brilliant videos. Thank you so much for sharing your dining experiences.

[@TheDkbohde]

Alexander, thank you for this level of quality in your videos. My wife and I used to travel more before we had children and before Covid hit my business hard. These videos give me a sense of travel and adventure. It’s a touch of living vicariously but more so it helps remind me of why I continue to work hard to get back to being able to travel and eat at wonderful places like you share. I appreciate the work that goes into making such content. We are planning a trip to your restaurant in our (hopefully) near future. Keep up the good work.

[@shinobuoshino7577]

Always love these videos. Thanks for sharing this with us Alexander.

[@andyyang4872]

tbh, 500 euros for all the food, experience, service, ambience and history is a steal. the food represents the history, creativity and knowledge of the chef and the restaurant - transcending the actual food itself. Edible ART!

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

I like how you describe the dishes and how you don't always like everything. If I'm ever gonna dine at one of these places I need to build up my alcohol tolerance.i would be hammered before I got to the cheese trolley.

[@zachtownsend9885]

Hello Alexander -- I love your channel. What a great reference, and thanks for creating it. I always wonder how long the meal lasts during one of your meals (sorry if I've missed it in the videos I've watched). Is it possible to mention that in each video? I'm always curious about how long some of the several-course meals take. My experience is France, and I've often been at the table for 6 hours for dinner menus with several courses. How are Michelin-star restaurants trending when it comes to time to complete a meal? Thanks!

Thank you for another great video! I have watched every you have made so far. It its amazing to see how you get better and better with every video. This channel is the most refreshing I have seen in a long time. In your first videos your intro seemed a little bit flashy and as if you are trying to show off. In the newer videos you have toned it done quite a bit, which goes much better with the theme of the channel. You also explain the dishes in much more detail and more calmly, plus the camera work has improved significantly! At first the camera was very shaky and you did dizzying turns and angle changes, now you only show clear pictures and better angles. Keep up the great work and your channel will explode!
