Mackerel and dessert
Mackerel is a sea fish, highly prized for its flesh. It belongs to the same family as tuna. It is very nutritious, inexpensive and consumed in a variety of ways. Chef Benjamin Andreux has even made it his signature starter: “line mackerel”, a mackerel with vinaigrette and yuzu.

Benjamin is accompanied by his pastry chef, Claire Andreux, who is none other than his wife. And her signature dessert is called “Memory of New York” in tribute to their professional stay in the city that never sleeps. It is a chocolate and peanut dessert.

A Champagne institution
The Hostellerie La Briqueterie is a Relais & Châteaux located a few kilometers from Epernay, in Vinay to be precise. It has always been one of the great gastronomic tables of Champagne. Today it is Benjamin and Claire Andreux, a young couple united in life, who run the kitchen. With their experience in major starred houses in France and abroad, they bring a breath of fresh air and novelties to this institution.
