Le Resto d'Ay - Aÿ-Champagne

Our first day wandering around Ay to try out some Champagne, we stopped in here to get some lunch.

Excellent service, no English but it was fine with minimal French, great traditional French cuisine and good prices! Must visit if you stop in Épernay!

My husband and I shared the Escargot feature of the day and Duck Confit salad and Salmon main. It was perfect, not too much, just enough. Definitely recommend.

Lovely meal provided by husband and wife team.Beautiful greeting, almost as if we were old friends.No English spoken but got by with good humour and an effort trying school boy french.Booking necessary as limited tables and you have the table for the duration.

If you don't want anything fancy, just good plain cooking or great salads, then this place is perfect. Very friendly and good service. The owner took back our first bottle without even asking us to taste it - and he was right. A good choice if you are staying nearby and don't want to drive miles to a restaurant - not much open in the winter months anyway. Happy to go back again.
