The story

Brasserie Le Jardin in Reims – Bib Gourmand Casual Dining at Domaine Les Crayères

A Brasserie in the Midst of Nature

At Domaine Les Crayères, the century-old estate in the heart of Reims, Brasserie Le Jardin offers a more relaxed counterpoint to the fine dining of its sister restaurant, Le Parc. True to its name, this brasserie is set in a lush, green setting, allowing guests to dine surrounded by the estate’s parkland. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, a place where the refined hospitality of the Domaine meets the easy charm of a garden terrace.

The kitchen here is rooted in straightforward, seasonal cooking that lets the ingredients speak. While the menu changes with the market, the guiding principle is clear: produce-driven dishes executed with precision. This approach, combined with the restaurant’s accessible pricing, earned Brasserie Le Jardin a Bib Gourmand from the Michelin Guide in 2026, a recognition reserved for “good quality, good value cooking.”

The Spirit of the Domaine

Brasserie Le Jardin is part of the larger Domaine Les Crayères, a residence built in 1904 that embodies the French art de vivre. The estate’s chef, Christophe Moret, oversees the culinary direction across both restaurants. Originally from Orléans, Moret trained under Bruno Cirino and Jacques Maximim before leading kitchens at Alain Ducasse’s three-star Plaza Athénée, Maison Lasserre (two Michelin stars), and L’Abeille at the Shangri-La. His philosophy is one of humility, generosity, and sincerity—values that translate into the brasserie’s unfussy, flavorful dishes.

A Place for Every Occasion

With outdoor seating, a bar, and a dedicated space for private events and chef’s tables, Brasserie Le Jardin adapts to any mood. The wine list is noteworthy, with a strong focus on Champagne, as you would expect from a restaurant in Reims. Whether you are stopping in for a leisurely lunch, a dinner under the trees, or a catered celebration, the brasserie delivers a genuine taste of the Domaine’s elegance without the formality. Air conditioning, wheelchair access, and parking ensure comfort for all guests.
