Dining out with children in France can feel like a delicate balancing act. You want to experience the refined culinary culture the country is famous for, but you also need a place where a dropped fork or an excited voice won’t draw icy stares. Fortunately, Reims—the historic capital of the Champagne region—has evolved beyond its formal, adult-centric dining scene to embrace a warmer, more inclusive atmosphere.
The city offers a surprising variety of venues where high-quality food and family comfort coexist. From bustling brasseries that have seen generations of locals grow up, to modern bistros with dedicated children’s menus, the landscape is rich with options. The key is knowing where the staff genuinely welcomes little ones, rather than merely tolerating them.
When selecting the best family-friendly restaurants in Reims, we looked beyond just the presence of a high chair. We considered the noise level, the speed of service, the availability of space for strollers, and the willingness of the kitchen to accommodate picky eaters. A truly great family restaurant understands that parents need to relax just as much as the kids need to be entertained.
The culinary identity of Reims is rooted in hearty, accessible classics like ham on the bone, regional cheeses, and the famous pink biscuits of Reims. This local cuisine is often naturally appealing to children, making the city an easier destination for food-loving families than you might expect. You do not have to sacrifice gastronomy for convenience.
Below, we have curated a list of venues that strike the perfect balance between French charm and practical family dining. These are places where you can enjoy a glass of local champagne while your children discover the joys of French food in a stress-free environment.

Amazing food and service for a great price. I had the duck in orange sauce and it was delicious! The servers were all very friendly and helpful.
While the menu is mainly duck dishes, there are a few chicken and beef dishes available. The drinks menu had something for everyone too (and they do have champagne!).
Really recommend this place 🙂
Didn't really know what to expect. It's highly recommended but cheap! In reality, a great little restaurant serving the very best of duck dishes. We started with the Thai Duck Croquettes which were fabulous, but they looked so nice we dived right in without taking a photo! Staff were great, and although we've had cheaper wines, it was a very nice bottle. Would 100% go back.
Service is amazing and good humoured, good jokes 11/10 40€ tip.
The duck is the star of the show, with amazing mayo. The side dishes are quite decent but nothing to write home about. The fries under the duck soaks them nicely in the duck fat. However, they were a bit soggy likely due to some older oil and not double frying the fries.
All in all I would recommend coming by here, and just ordering the duck.
*the cheese platter is just one type of cheese, the cheese is nice and pairs well with cote du rhone or an even bolder wine. It being one cheese better suits it as an appetiser as well.
**at night some of the upstairs tables have some bright white streetlights shining straight in your eyes. This is difficult to prevent. Maybe some little curtains at these spots would improve the atmosphere. However, I am not gonna lower my atmosphere rating for that, because the toilet had epic disco lights.
If there’s one place that deserves a spot on the must-try list in Reims, it’s “Canard Street”.Absolutely delicious every bite is full of rich duck flavour.
You can tell they know what they’re doing, and they do it really well. Soooo tasty… I’ll definitely be back.
Good lunch spot, good service and welcoming staff. Tasty food all round.
My only issue was a slightly gritty bit in a small part of my salad or I would of given 5 stars all round. That being said I will be back to tey more of their tasty canard

We ordered there a combo o chicken and steak, and both were delicious, very well done and tender. My 3 and 4 y olds were able to eat it easily and loved it as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
If you like some plain meat options different than hamburgers very nicely done and on a simple and relaxing set without over-complications, this is the place for sure, there are plenty of seats.
The lady who served us was also very friendly. As soon as she noticed that I had some difficulty speaking French, she immediately switched to English and did a great job explaining the menu and the different options.
I will definitely come back the next time I am in Reims.
Everything was excellent! The chicken was crispy and juicy, the poivre sauce was delicious. Even the salad dressing was great. Highly recommend for a no be frills meal in Reims.
We ordered the chicken dishes from the menu and they certainly didn’t disappoint. The chicken was cooked perfectly, incredibly tender, and packed with flavour thanks to the amazing seasoning.
The fries were also delicious and complemented the meal really well. In fact, this ended up being our favourite meal of the entire trip and the best food we had in the region.
The service was excellent throughout, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the experience even better. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.
Amazing place for a quick lunch or dinner. I went there late afternoon so there was no waiting line. The staff was super friendly and spoke in English, as my French is not very good (apologies for that). The Irish Angus was tender and nicely salted, the chicken was perfect and the chips hand cut and crispy. Highly recommended place!!
Been wanting to try this restaurant since every time I pass by it's always full of customers. I'm happy we came around lunch time and got their formule which was a complete meal + a choice of drink or dessert for €17.
I'm usually fond of restaurants that specialize only on one thing and La Brigade is one of those. It's a pretty straightforward concept, no frills, fast and an enjoyable dining experience. I got an onglet de bœuf and my husband had a poulet pané. The beef was a bit overcooked than what i ordered but I still enjoyed my experience in the restaurant anyway. The fries were perfectly cooked, they feel like fait maison and not industriL 💖 the roquefort miel and chimi-pesto sauces were delightful and I'm excited to try the other sauces 😊 the framboise pastèque tea and citronnade maison were super good, I highly recommend it! 💖
Our server was very nice and courteous despite a busy lunch service. People were starting to pile up at the cashier and he took the initiative to give us the bill and process our payment at the table.
I'm definitely coming back to try their other offerings 😊💖

A fantastic dining experience! The prawn risotto was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. We also had dessert, which was equally tasty—a great way to end the meal.
The interior design is beautiful and creates a wonderful atmosphere. Pro tip: You definitely need to visit the restrooms! The design and decor there are very interesting and worth a look.
The service was top-notch, and the champagne was excellent. I highly recommend this place for both the food and the unique vibe!
Absolutely fabulous! The décor is stunning, the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming, and the food was simply to die for. A truly memorable brunch experience in Reims. We will definitely be back!" 🍾✨
I had a wonderful experience at Harold Le Restaurant in Reims. I stopped in for an Americano and a slice of cake, and both were absolutely delightful — the coffee was smooth and well-balanced, and the cake was fresh and delicious.
The service stood out just as much as the food; the staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and accommodating, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant itself is beautifully artistic, with thoughtful details in its design that make it feel both stylish and inviting.
A lovely bonus is the gift shop next door, filled with exquisite and unique pieces that complement the restaurant’s creative ambiance. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy not only excellent food and coffee, but also a truly memorable experience.
Highly recommended if you’re in Reims!
Quite possibly the best meal of our entire European vacation! Quiet tucked away courtyard was an absolute treat for our weekday lunch before wine tasting. The service was incredibly warm and attentive. The food hard to beat - the gazpacho was perfect for a hot day! Highly recommend Harold to all in Reims.
Really great little place tucked off the busy street. The staff was really efficient and accomodating particularly going the extra mile for children to enjoy there experience too! Two swaps from the kids menu!
Really nice dishes, fresh food.
I recommend for a nice experience and a break away the hustle and bustle while remaining very affordable (and not chain food).

Absolute gem of a place. It's rare thing to see super friendly and professional service in France because usually it's 50/50. Have had multiple visits and everyone is super friendly, professional and fast in service.
Would specifically bring out Clara because she really stood out in service. Thank you for making our experience wonderful.
And special Thanks to Thomas.
Merci.
Great restaurant in Reims. We had dinner there and absolutely loved it! My first beouf a la tartar and it was delicious. And lots of salad came also with it, which was for me extra good news.
Staff is really friendly and helpful. Big thanks to the team!
Really recommend this place! Good choice!
The food was very good! Felt like a proper home cooked meal, and the starters were also perfect. Would definitely recommend.
We ate twice at the Sacrés Petits Coches in Reims, once at the beginning of our journey, and once at the end. Both times the service was friendly, prompt, and on point, and the food was excellent. It's the kind of food you would have eaten at a roadside Inn back in the day, local ingredients and solid "cuisine de tradition", no pretentious chefs in this kitchen. It was a perfect way to open and end our travels. I highly recommend.
A lovely evening: even though we booked late, our table was ready and waiting for us. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent, especially the meat dishes (steak and roast chicken). The desserts were superb. A relaxed and cosy atmosphere.

We sat out on the terrace with a view of the Basilica - magical. It was a Monday night so we didn't have a problem getting a table. There is QR code for the English version of the menu. There were not many vegetarian options for me, so I opted for the cheese salad, which was huge & had many elements. I followed up with the salmon tartare, which was good. My partner had the sausage starter & the beef skewers, both of which he enjoyed. It was hard to fit all the plates on the tiny table.
Fantastic food! Huge servings! Luc was very attentive! We spoke no French so he had a lot of patience! Really friendly and accommodating. Worth a visit! X
It's was ok........ starter (snails) was beautiful, unfortunately thats where the quality ended, the rotisserie chicken was served cold and nor crispy skin etc. The crepe deserts tasted like heated up supermarket crepes. We were so looking forward to a traditional French restaurant experience, unfortunately this was not it. The serving staff were lovely though.
Lovely place near the cathedral. Prices are reasonable, dishes are really tasty and beautifully served. The staff is quite friendly and speaks English. Quite recommend
Daniel was great! Food was delicious and unique. Would eat again!

Great find in the City Centre, as most restaurants in Reims are closed on Sunday afternoon. Friendly English speaking staff, who provided great service and were willing to help.
Food was much better than anticipated, as it looked very much like a typical “Tourist restaurant”.
Escargots were delicious, in just the right amount of garlic butter. Salmon Poke bowl for main course, with lots of chunks of delicious fresh salmon. My fellow diners also commented on the quality of their meals. The XXL Profiterole, really was huge. It was filled with ice cream and totally impossible to finish.
Highly recommend Le Gaulois and will definitely return next time I happen to be in Reims
Such a great place. The waitress we had was super from the beginning to the end. We got a nice booth even we were only two people. The food was superb. Onion soup was the best we have had in ages. So much taste, but not salty. The escargots, yummy, great flavor, perfectly made. And the beef cheeks, so tender, flavorful, but not overly salted. The meet just fell apart. We had a great time there, relaxing and laid back athmosphere. They didnt stress us, even we were finished. Had a good coffee at the end. Will definately go back everytime we are in Reims. We came back the next day, for the daily lunch. Roastbeef, gosh, so good. Service was just as good.
We have been there a again since i wrote my review. Everytime just as good as before. Super.
We randomly stopped here on a Sunday morning while traveling in Reims. The food was amazing! The portions are large and flavors savory. Alex took great care of us and spoke English to us travelers. Merci Beaucoup.
A highly recommended restaurant! Although, it appears a bit touristy, we had the best beef tartare, and the onion soup was also very good. The staff were polite, and the service was fast.
Just steps from the cathedral’s soaring spires, this charming bistro offers swift service, which is a welcome relief for visitors balancing sightseeing and lunch. The dishes arrive quickly, allowing you to enjoy a satisfying meal without feeling rushed. The food itself is genuinely delicious — from expertly seared meat to fresh seasonal vegetables, everything is fait à la maison, and each plate has clearly been prepared with care and flavour in mind. One thing to note: the venue is so popular that there is often a long queue outside, especially at peak lunch or dinner times. It’s definitely worth the wait, but arriving a bit earlier or booking ahead is a good idea.

Village square-themed restaurant, complete with patonque. Good atmosphere and music. Open, serving food till late on a Saturday, which made it great for us travelling a long way. Good selection of beers. Calamari starter excellent, my main was quite rich and the vegetables were surprisingly greasy. A tad difficult to catch the waiter's eye at times.
Nice option for families, reasonable food and petanque (free). Varied menu with French and western dishes. Inside and outside seating (watch the mosquitos, there are so many!).
Disappoint: boeuf tartare, had to chew, consisted of pieces of meat, nothing like the smooth or creamy versions you can get anywhere in France
We also had the Petit Cochonnet and Spanish Croquettes, Salad La Fanny, were ok.
Nice: big glass of Ciney and the chardonnay was good as well
Good: prices
Service is medium, staff is very busy and therefore could not get their attention easily. Paid inside
What a great concept! Play petanque while waiting for your food. Great fun with the family, and the food was excellent - from salads to steaks to desserts.
Great find. Well worth a visit.
Excellent

What makes this place really special is that it’s run and managed by Jérôme himself, who also cooks everything on the menu- the food is absolutely delicious - authentic, traditional French cuisine!
The atmosphere is just as impressive. Jérôme has an incredible sense of style, and every detail in the restaurant is thoughtfully curated by him.
What made the experience unforgettable, though, was Jérôme himself. He is a truly warm and attentive host who clearly takes pride in making sure his guests feel welcome and looked after. At the end of our meal, he even gifted me a piece of his homemade savoury cake (“cake salé”), which was such a thoughtful and generous gesture.
I left feeling genuinely impressed and grateful for the experience. This is more than just a place to eat - it’s a place to connect, enjoy, and appreciate real passion for food and hospitality.
Thank you , Jérôme! We are definitely coming back 🙂
We arrived slightly late (by French standards!) for lunch so there was only space at the bar. Jolly host Jerome looked after us until we were the last ones there! We had terrine, chicken leg, pork cheek, a plate of cheese, damson tart, chocolate torte, multiple glasses of champagne and red wine, with a couple of coffees, too. Old school but the best school. Lovely lunch!!
Best food and dessert of my life. We started with a wonderful salad, chicken sausage and ratatouille and the best dessert- apricot cheesecake. The service was from the nicest man ever. According to other reviews he’s the one man show. So sweet and really did a great job serving everyone in the restaurant. We were pressed with time to catch the train and he gave us a Tupperware container for the dessert to go. The best experience ever. A definite repeat when we come back. Thank you very much!
This was the best meal I've had in France!!!
The owner was unbelievable. He not only serves, cooks but also entertains his guests. His server was also amazing. Helped me pair my lunch with a drink and with flair. The cheese bread that was brought out before my meal was perfect. It was light, airy and moist. The salmon was my main. Cooked to perfection. The rustic baked baby potatoes and puree of cauliflower, cabbage and celery paired beautifully. For dessert I had the flan... I dont even know how he could could be so talented. At first I thought the crust was too thick but I was wrong.
As a pastry chef myself I couldn't have anticipated the absolute perfection of my meal. He's a Picasso for your palate.
Bravo monsieur.
Can not recommend this restaurant enough!!!
Also Kayla was a Superb hostess❤️
I waited a bit to publish this. I went there many times. My mind is set : very good typical French home cuisine, nice wine and Champagne choice. People are here to enjoy a quiet atmosphere, Jérôme is a wonderful host. He does everything himself !
If you plan to go there on your way back from a visit to the cellars near by : book with a large advanced time schedule.
Looking forward to returning there soon.

Found this by accident in the rain and my mom, sister and I loved it. The staff were hospitable and friendly and you can taste the wine before deciding on the glass. The cheeseboard was bursting at the seam and delicious. Nothing was too much effort and would absolutely recommend
OMG, words cannot describe how much we loved this place!!!! The salads were phenomenal!!! Service beyond friendly and nice. Recommend with eyes closed!
We had a wonderful experience at La Fabrique. We chose the menu and everything was delicious — especially the smoked salmon with eggs, the tuna, and the asparagus cream dish. The food was beautifully prepared and full of flavor.
The atmosphere was warm, stylish, and very enjoyable. A special mention to our waitress, who was incredibly patient, attentive, and welcoming throughout the entire meal.
The wine and champagne selection was excellent and truly made the experience even more memorable. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area!
Excellent service. Exceptional food. Really accommodating and always with a smile
Would one huni percent recommend
Very nice little restaurant close to many famous Champagner-Places like Pommery. Service was very friendly even though they had some difficulty in the beginning about serving beer or food. But in the end they managed it quite nicely with a smile 👍😊.

Everything was great!
Servers were very attentive and friendly, menu only in French but the server spoke English and explained some things to us.
Tartiflette was so good, the pepper sauce for the steak one of the best I have eaten, steak was exactly medium as we asked. Definitely recommend it!
A small restaurant in the outskirt of Reims, with a nice backyard. They put their heart into potatoes. The dishes are generous and the service good however the taste and flavor has more to offer. A cosy place for potato lovers when the weather is great.
Very nice little restaurant. The food was good and the wine was reasonably priced. We ate outside in the courtyard to the rear of the building. The atmosphere was very enjoyable. We would eat here again!
What a fantastic find in Reims!
Excellent friendly service and gorgeous food at affordable prices.
Even the kids menu were great.
Everyone at the table left happy (kids are 9, 10 and 13).
Thoroughly recommend!
This is a no-nonsense restaurant with great food and excellent service. Specialty dishes are served with a large potato but you also have other traditional local cuisine, and daily dish, all cooked to perfection. Champagne is a great local brand, without sulfites. And all this for a great price.

I spent three weeks in Reims for a work trip and this was my absolute favourite brunch spot by far.
A co-worker loved this place so much we went back three times! We chatted with the owners on our visits and we began to feel like regulars. It would have been four times but we tried on a weekend without reservation and there wasn’t room for 4 of us; honestly, I wasn’t surprised, so if you’re visiting on a weekend I’d recommend a reservation.
Their sweet and savoury options are sooooo good. I had the braised lamb bowl, chicken and waffles, and their brioche French toast is to die for!
I used to work in the restaurant industry and I’m a big foodie, their plates were so full of deliciousness in every corner.
I loved their fresh apple/orange/ginger juice it was so healthy, their autumn cappuccino was delicious.
If you’re in Reims, it’s an absolute must!
Food was great. Even though we did not have a reservation on a Sunday morning the staff was very in helpful in trying to accommodate us. Would definitely recommend to make a reservation though. Very very friendly service.
Top top top! We were 3 and all our plates were absolutely exquisite! Felt like a customized brunch where the presentation and ingredients were in harmony. Chill ambiance and the service matched the food. A must try if your are in Reims.
Very good lunch here if you are looking for something different. The pictures look very nice from all reviewers and tastewise, it's really delicious! I love the grilled cheese toast!
Great place! I only took photos of the mains but you'll notice the other reviews with great photos of the food and reviews. No, they don't scam people by asking them to leave a review and give a free item or a discount.
Set meal we got was 1 main, 1 dessert, 1 hot drink and 1 cold drink. The set cost €32 each. The value for one is amazing. The food came in fast but hot. Only qualm I had was my waffle was a bit less warm than I had preferred. Drinks were all great, we had the matcha latte and golden latte which we guess was a spiced turmeric latte (how has no one made this a thing????)
Service was very friendly even though the staff was busy with a heavy lunch crowd. Seems like there are 3 seating and it is recommended to make a reservation. We came slightly after 2pm and it seemed like a group had left so we didn't have to wait for a table.
Worth coming back.

Visited this restaurant in June and was very impressed with the quality of food and drinks, as well as the exceptional service from the staff.
Would highly recommend visiting.
Good food, slightly pricey but the atmosphere makes up for it. Service could have been better, but not the worst.
A plethora of options on hand here. The wide variety of ethnic-inspired food options combined with an extensive drink menu were a plus. Snappy service also!
We had a lovely lunch outside, taking in the ambience of Reims. We had great service from our waiter Cameron, who was very friendly and helped us, as our French isn’t very good. The food was exactly what we wanted and the glasses of champagne we had were of really good quality and reasonably priced compared with nearby restaurants.
Tourist trap. Service was truly great. Its a really nice vibe but the people in charge of the menu have become lazy. Gyoza’s, nachos and steak and fries on the menu. About the steak there was no salt and the chimichurie sauce went into the blender. Fries were ok also no salt and the ham from the freezer. Would wind down expectations.
Practical Tips for a Smooth Family Meal in Reims
While choosing the right restaurant is half the battle, navigating French dining etiquette with children requires a bit of local know-how. The rhythm of a meal in France is often slower and more structured than in other countries, which can be challenging for younger kids. Understanding the local customs regarding meal times, ordering, and behavior will help you blend in and enjoy the experience much more.
- Respect the Service Hours: French kitchens are notoriously strict with their hours. Lunch is typically served from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, and dinner rarely starts before 7:00 PM or 7:30 PM. If your children are early eaters, look for brasseries or cafés that offer "service continu" (all-day service).
- Book Ahead and Mention the Kids: Always call ahead to reserve a table, especially on weekends. When booking, explicitly mention that you have children. This allows the restaurant to prepare a high chair, booster seat, or a table with extra space for a stroller.
- Look for the "Menu Enfant": While not every restaurant advertises it online, many offer a standard children’s menu (usually a simple protein like chicken or fish with fries or pasta and ice cream). If you don’t see one, don’t be afraid to ask for a half portion of a main dish ("une demi-portion").
- Bring Quiet Entertainment: While the restaurants on our list are welcoming, they are not playgrounds. Bring a small coloring book, stickers, or a quiet toy to keep children occupied during the gaps between courses. Avoid tablets with loud volume to maintain the ambiance for other diners.
- Embrace the "Gouter": The French afternoon snack, or "goûter," usually happens around 4:00 PM. If you are planning a later dinner, stop at a local bakery (boulangerie) for a pain au chocolat to tide the kids over. This prevents hunger meltdowns before the restaurant even opens for dinner.
Finding a place where the staff smiles at your children and the menu satisfies both adult and juvenile palates transforms a trip to Reims. It allows you to engage with the city’s deep culinary heritage without the anxiety of feeling like an intruder. These venues prove that French dining can be a joyful, messy, and memorable family affair.
As you plan your itinerary through the Marne region, remember that a relaxed meal is often the highlight of a family trip. By choosing the right spot and timing your visit well, you can create lasting memories around the table. Bon appétit!
