Café d'Hautvillers sur Hautvillers

Good value for money. Generous salads.

I don't know about the food, but the service, atmosphere, friendliness, and efficiency were all great, thank you crew! ✨✌️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Always a pleasure to have lunch at this restaurant in Hautvillers, a place I already know and was delighted to return to after a very long hike with friends in the heart of Champagne. After several hours of walking through the paths and landscapes of the Champagne vineyards, we received a very warm welcome. The service was truly pleasant, attentive, and friendly, and we enjoyed a delicious meal. It was a real treat to be able to get together for a good lunch after a beautiful morning of hiking! I happily recommend this place, both for locals and for those discovering Hautvillers and Champagne on foot or by bike. A wonderful gourmet stop in the heart of the Champagne vineyards. We will definitely be back! 🥾🍽️🌿🍾

July 2025 Excellent discovery! Pleasant terrace. Varied menu. Delicious dishes. Efficient and friendly staff. Quick and attentive service. Very good value for money. Unanimously (there were 8 of us), we had a wonderful time, thank you! July 2026: We returned for the second time to Café de Haut Villers. Same conditions (Sunday lunchtime during peak season and tourist crowds, same group of 8). This time we remembered to book! An equally positive experience! - Limited but varied menu, offering generous and tasty dishes. - Service as attentive, efficient, and friendly as ever. Very pleasant terrace. Well done, and thank you!

The champagne was good, but I didn't like the food. The staff was very friendly.

Good. Limited menucard which is good. All dishes were more than ok. Just the prize was perhaps on the high side with 25€ for a salade. And 30€ for a bavette. Location is excellent. Vibe even beter.

Had a drink there on the terrace with a beautiful view of champagne houses.

An experience that nearly turned into a nightmare… before being saved by truly excellent food. We were a group of 15 people, arriving with about ten classic cars, as part of an organized outing. The reservation had been made more than two weeks in advance, with several phone calls to confirm it. Yet, upon arrival, we were told that there was no reservation under our name. We were even nearly turned away at the entrance. The waitress then informed us that she was calling the owner, who was supposed to arrive “in two minutes.” The result: more than 20 minutes of waiting in the blazing sun, with 15 people who were understandably starting to lose patience, especially since some of them were elderly. As organizers, it was frankly not a pleasant situation to manage. Fortunately, the owner finally arrived and immediately acknowledged the mistake: the reservation had been entered a week late. He apologized and finally found a solution to seat us. And this deserves to be emphasized, because many would have simply shifted the blame elsewhere. Honesty is appreciated. One small regret, though: after such a long wait and the stress it generated, a small gesture of goodwill—even a symbolic one—would have been appreciated, even if it was just a coffee or a digestif offered to the organizers. Another slightly complicated point, but one that is obviously not the restaurant's fault: we had come with ten classic cars, and there isn't really any suitable parking nearby. We had to park more than a kilometer away, which isn't ideal for this kind of outing. And one thing must also be acknowledged: the place is a victim of its own success. Seeing the long line at the entrance and the barriers put in place can give a somewhat "factory-like" impression, but it mainly shows how popular the establishment is. But then… once seated, everything else was forgotten. The food is simply excellent. The tartares were impeccably fresh despite the intense heat, the grilled meats were perfectly cooked, the portions were generous, the wine was decent, and the setting was pleasant. Honestly, we received almost exclusively positive feedback from the entire group. This just goes to show that even after a very difficult start, quality cuisine and an owner who admits his mistakes can salvage the experience. Fiatissimo

A lovely stop if you are driving the Champagne Route!

We were here 2 years ago as well; it was a bit less impressive back then. Now it's top-notch: delicious food, customer-friendly service, and good value for money. Highly recommended
