The story
At La Table Saint Thomas in Reims, the kitchen works with fresh, local produce to create a menu that changes with the seasons. The restaurant describes its cooking as inventive, regularly renewed, and always rooted in the traditions of French cuisine. This approach has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, a mark of the consistent quality and thoughtful sourcing that defines the dining experience.
The weekday lunch menu, called Fil des Saisons, offers a flexible choice of courses: a single plat at 17,00 EUR, entrée/plat or plat/dessert at 21,00 EUR, or the full three-course menu at 25,90 EUR. The à la carte selection features dishes that highlight the region’s bounty. Starters include an Œuf Bénédicte, a velouté of Lentillons de Champagne, and a caramelised onion soup with croutons and shavings of Tomme cheese. The foie gras poêlé arrives on toast with fondant apples and a Calvados jus.
Main courses range from an effiloché de canard with sweet potato and spinach, to joues de porc with Reims mustard and a potato mille-feuille. Scallops (Saint-Jacques) are served with glazed parsnips and a chestnut velouté, while the mushroom dish combines raw and cooked mushrooms in a fine tart with black garlic emulsion.
The restaurant prides itself on a convivial and personalised welcome. It is a semi-gastronomic restaurant, meaning the attention to detail in the kitchen is matched by a relaxed, accessible atmosphere. The space is wheelchair accessible and offers Wi-Fi, making it a comfortable choice for both locals and visitors to Reims.
A cheese plate from the region, with a small salad and fig chutney, makes a fine finish. The menu is homemade, with a clear emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced locally. La Table Saint Thomas is a place where the traditions of French cuisine meet the inventiveness of a modern kitchen, all in the heart of Reims.
