Le Foch stands as a culinary beacon in Reims, offering an inventive take on classic French cuisine. The restaurant embraces a cozy and secure ambiance, akin to the reassurance of safety and well-being one might experience on a flight. The menu is a joyous celebration of gastronomy, featuring dishes such as an "inverted" vitello tonnato, succulent roasted monkfish with charlotte mushrooms in Coteaux du Layon sauce, and Iberian pluma pork with honey and teriyaki, accompanied by pak choi cabbage and roasted plums with thyme lemon panna cotta. The restaurant presents well-curated and diverse menus, including an attractive lunch formula.
