Le Resto d'Ay - Aÿ-Champagne

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.

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!

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

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.

A return visit reminded us of why we liked this place - friendly, with good, slightly old-fashioned home cooking, at a reasonable price. Perhaps this meal wasn't quite so good. The coq-au-vin, the dish of the day, was a bit too much like home cooking, but the service was good and the wine fine. The sort of place we'd always go back to, but that we wouldn't ever have the highest expectations from.
