And then there is Reims, where it is a way of life. For a century, the Place Drouet-d'Erlon has concentrated everything France does best in this register \u2014 animated dining rooms, polished zinc counters, aproned waiters, a blackboard that changes daily. But the finest addresses are not confined to this one artery: they hide in the laneways of the Halles quarter and at the foot of a former fire station converted into a five-star hotel. Five brasseries, five characters, one shared spirit: the art of hospitality at table, without pretension and without compromise on quality.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <hr class=\"divider\">\n\n  <!-- 01 BOULINGRIN -->\n  <article class=\"entry\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Restaurant\">\n    <div class=\"entry-header\">\n      <div class=\"entry-num\">01<\/div>\n      <div class=\"entry-location\">Halles Quarter \u00b7 Rue de Mars<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <h2 class=\"entry-name\" itemprop=\"name\">La Brasserie du Boulingrin<\/h2>\n    <div class=\"entry-tagline\">The doyenne \u2014 a century of brasserie tradition, felt from the moment you walk in<\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"section-label\">About<\/div>\n    <p class=\"entry-text\">\n      There are addresses that need no introduction. Le Boulingrin is one of them. Founded in 1925, housed in an Art Deco building overlooking the Place de la R\u00e9publique, it is the oldest brasserie in Reims \u2014 and it wears that distinction without the slightest hint of false modesty. A century of unbroken service, from generation to generation, in a d\u00e9cor that has never yielded to fashion: velvet banquettes, large mirrors, high ceilings, subdued lighting. You walk in as though stepping into a film.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"section-label\">What makes it unique<\/div>\n    <p class=\"entry-text\">\n      The menu is a handbook of classic French brasserie cooking. Marinated herrings, AAAAA andouillette sausage, bone marrow, breaded pig's trotters, braised calf's head casserole, gratin dauphinois \u2014 the great classics, executed without embellishment. The waiters wear proper uniform, are thoroughly professional, and a glass of Champagne arrives the moment you settle at the bar. The terrace opens onto the Boulingrin Market Hall \u2014 itself an Art Deco monument, and home to a market on Friday and Saturday mornings. It is hard to imagine a better way to begin a weekend in Reims.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"info-block\">\n      <div class=\"info-row\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83d\udccd<\/span><span itemprop=\"address\">31 Rue de Mars \u2013 51100 Reims<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-row\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83c\udf10<\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boulingrin.fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" itemprop=\"url\">boulingrin.fr<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-row info-full\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83d\udd50<\/span><span>Tue\u2013Sat: 12pm\u20132:30pm and 7pm\u201310:30pm \u00b7 Sun\u2013Mon: closed<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-tip\">\ud83d\udca1 Booking advised, especially at weekends.

Its interwar d\u00e9cor \u2014 brass fittings, wood panelling, stained glass, period light fittings \u2014 is listed as a historic monument. Cited in Patricia Schulz's guide <em>1,000 Places to See Before You Die<\/em>, it belongs to the Les Grandes Brasseries de l'Est group, alongside the Excelsior in Nancy and the Maison Kammerzell in Strasbourg. It occupies a different category from the neighbourhood brasserie \u2014 and that is evident from the moment you push open the door.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"section-label\">What makes it unique<\/div>\n    <p class=\"entry-text\">\n      The dining room is a spectacle in its own right. The menu pays tribute to seafood, noble fish and prime cuts of meat. The terrace on the square, from the first warm days, is one of the finest spots to observe Reims life from a front-row seat. The service has the gravity of a great establishment.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"info-block\">\n      <div class=\"info-row\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83d\udccd<\/span><span itemprop=\"address\">96 Place Drouet-d'Erlon \u2013 51100 Reims<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-row\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83c\udf10<\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brasserie-excelsior-reims.fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" itemprop=\"url\">brasserie-excelsior-reims.fr<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-row info-full\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83d\udd50<\/span><span>Open 7 days a week<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-tip\">\ud83d\udca1 Booking recommended, particularly during tourist season and at weekends.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/article>\n\n  <hr class=\"divider\">\n\n  <!-- 03 CAF\u00c9 DE LA PAIX -->\n  <article class=\"entry\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Restaurant\">\n    <div class=\"entry-header\">\n      <div class=\"entry-num\">03<\/div>\n      <div class=\"entry-location\">City centre \u00b7 Rue Buirette<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <h2 class=\"entry-name\" itemprop=\"name\">Le Caf\u00e9 de la Paix<\/h2>\n    <div class=\"entry-tagline\">A brasserie of the sea, in the heart of Champagne country<\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"section-label\">About<\/div>\n    <p class=\"entry-text\">\n      Steps from the Place Drouet-d'Erlon, accessible through the H\u00f4tel de la Paix on the Rue Buirette, the Caf\u00e9 de la Paix occupies its own territory with a very distinct identity: more refined, more intimate, open seven days a week, and celebrated above all for its fish and seafood specialities. The paradox \u2014 enjoying plates of fresh seafood in a landlocked city \u2014 is one the people of Reims resolved long ago by making this establishment their Sunday dining room of choice.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"section-label\">What makes it unique<\/div>\n    <p class=\"entry-text\">\n      Gillardeau and Saint-Vaast oysters among others, the fish of the day, seafood platters \u2014 everything is fresh, served with care in a light-filled room with a glazed veranda. The menu changes with the seasons. The sun-drenched patio opens in fine weather. And for those who prefer meat to fish: Burgundy snails, grilled andouillette sausage, plancha salmon with Reims mustard. A glass of white wine, a dozen oysters, the cathedral a few minutes' walk away \u2014 it is the kind of sequence many visitors never forget.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"info-block\">\n      <div class=\"info-row\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83d\udccd<\/span><span itemprop=\"address\">9 Rue Buirette (entrance through the H\u00f4tel de la Paix) \u2013 51100 Reims<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-row\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83c\udf10<\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.restaurant-cafe-de-la-paix.fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" itemprop=\"url\">restaurant-cafe-de-la-paix.fr<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-row info-full\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83d\udd50<\/span><span>Open 7 days \u00b7 12pm\u20132pm and 7pm\u20139:30pm<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-tip\">\ud83d\udca1 Booking recommended.

In the kitchen, chef Julien Raphanel delivers a contemporary and precise brasserie menu that, by some accounts, is not far from Michelin-star level. Local produce, carefully plated dishes, Champagne prominently featured. This is the rising chef's brasserie of Reims \u2014 and the terrace facing the cathedral is no small part of its success.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"info-block\">\n      <div class=\"info-row\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83d\udccd<\/span><span itemprop=\"address\">18 Rue Tronsson Ducoudray \u2013 51100 Reims<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-row info-full\"><span class=\"icon\">\ud83d\udd50<\/span><span>Open every day<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"info-tip\">\ud83d\udca1 Booking recommended for the terrace in season.
