The story
Les Avisés is an intimate hotel and restaurant in Avize, a village in the heart of the Champagne region, just fifteen minutes from Épernay. The restaurant’s kitchen is led by chef Stéphane Rossillon, whose cooking is described simply as "la cuisine de Stéphane Rossillon" — a modern cuisine that lets the quality of ingredients speak.
The property is closely tied to the legendary Domaine Jacques Selosse, whose Champagnes are sold by allocation to professionals. Guests cannot purchase bottles for off-sale, but the restaurant’s wine list naturally draws from this celebrated house. The connection gives Les Avisés a singular place in Champagne dining.
The setting is a ten-room boutique hotel, each room named after a toast — Tchin!, Sköl!, Gambei! — reflecting a warm, convivial spirit. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Outdoor seating is available, and the team welcomes private parties and catering requests.
Les Avisés holds a Michelin recommendation, a recognition that underscores the precision and sincerity of Rossillon’s modern cuisine. The atmosphere is relaxed but polished, rooted in the rhythms of Champagne life rather than formal ceremony. Well-being and comfort are priorities, with services designed to make guests feel at home in the vines.
The restaurant is a natural stop for anyone exploring the Côte des Blancs. Its location on rue de Cramant places it steps from the grand cru vineyards of Avize and Cramant. Whether for a long lunch after a morning in the cellars or a quiet dinner paired with Selosse’s wines, Les Avisés offers a genuine taste of the region.
