    Today we go to one of the most important places on earth. The one and only province of champagne. The city is called Reims and home to our restaurant for today L'Assiette Champenoise.
    It all started in 1975 when Jean-Pierre Lallement and his wife Colette opened a restaurant.
    This restaurant has 3 Michelin Stars since 2014.
    We go for the 6-course Emotion menu for 355 euros. The start was so memorable with the best starting dish ever. It gave me goosebumps!

      hi alex!
      can I ask if you make a review video for every 3 michelin star restaurant you visit? and how long does it take for you to release the video after you visited the place?
      thanks as always for making these videos!

      I discovered your channel last week and was going to recommend Central in Peru even though Michelin often neglects South America, and then I saw that you were visiting them! Central is a celebration of Peruvian techniques and ingredients, they even have their own research team to find new ingredients in our country, I'm eagerly waiting for your video on them.

      @@Aphex271, I just ate at Central a few weeks ago- very interesting mission and enjoyed a few of the dishes so will be interested to hear Alexander’s review. Regarding the Michelin Guide, I also have oftentimes said that it is shameful that Latin American countries/cities don’t have guides, but learned recently that their expansion (to Rio and São Paulo for example) was the result of the tourism board there paying the company to start making a guide.

    I'm so glad you did L'Assiette Champenoise (i was waiting for it !), where I had the privilege to eat last summer (best gift ever for my birthday by my wife). We ate at the marble table.
    It was the first and only michelin star restaurant I did ; so I totally agree with the feeling of having being hit by a freight train with the starter ! It was our favorite dish of the whole menu. I think the pollen might have a lot to do with this unique and unusual flavor...
    Unless they have change the recipe, I don't think it's lemongrass with the beetroot, but lovage (livèche, in french), the ancestor of celery (or maybe there is both). I never tasted lovage before, and I loved it, the balance with the beetroot was amazing.
    The service was near perfect for us, except one unfortunate joke by a service member (when I was in the restroom he told my wife he hoped I would come back and not run away without paying). Some lack of elegance indeed, but it was an isolated mistake. Everything else was incredible (I took the wine pairing but it wasn't the same wines as yours, personnaly I had nothing to complain about from the start to finish).
    L'Assiette Champenoise has got for 2023 the 2nd best note for the best restaurants in the world by La Liste. They also won the special prize "Ethical and Environnemental Responsability" ; every organic waste is reused as fertilizer for their vegetable garden (after dehydration). I'm not a die-hard environmentalist by any mean but I find it pretty cool and full of common sense.
    It's a pleasure to watch your videos, your commentary is a really good balance with enjoyment and respectful review.
    (sorry if my english is not perfect)

This channel is the most refreshing I have seen in a long time. In your first videos your intro seemed a little bit flashy and as if you are trying to show off. In the newer videos you have toned it done quite a bit, which goes much better with the theme of the channel. You also explain the dishes in much more detail and more calmly, plus the camera work has improved significantly! At first the camera was very shaky and you did dizzying turns and angle changes, now you only show clear pictures and better angles.
    Keep up the great work and your channel will explode!

    Hello Alexander -- I love your channel. What a great reference, and thanks for creating it. I always wonder how long the meal lasts during one of your meals (sorry if I've missed it in the videos I've watched). Is it possible to mention that in each video? I'm always curious about how long some of the several-course meals take. My experience is France, and I've often been at the table for 6 hours for dinner menus with several courses. How are Michelin-star restaurants trending when it comes to time to complete a meal? Thanks!
