Restaurants in Epernay are not cheap, but good food is assured at La Table Kobus, 3 rue du Dr-Rousseau (tel 03.26.58.42.68; from €22; closed Sun eve & Mon), and at the superb value Les Berceaux, 13 rue des Berceaux (tel 03.26.55.28.84; closed Sun eve & Mon; menus from €29), which also has a wine bar. Several cheaper, culturally varied places are on rue Gambetta, between the gare and place de la République: Le Bel Azur, at no. 33, has Tunisian specialities; while Le Messina, at no. 17, has pizza and inexpensive pasta.
