Reims - Eating
Eating out in Reims is a serious business, with countless restaurants, brasseries and crêperies serving gourmet and classic French cuisine using the freshest, local produce. Many specialise in mussels (moules), which are delicacies and served with a variety of sauces. Of course, most formal meals can be accompanied by a fine Champagne from the Reims region. To eat informally and inexpensively order the “formule complete”, which will give you a hot drink or fruit juice, a baguette and usually some delicious pastries.
