Champagne and Food Pairing Ideas
3rd August 2022
Fancy popping open a bottle of Champagne with dinner tonight? Then check out our many Champagne and Sparkling Wine Food Pairings here at Glass of Bubbly.
What Kind of Food Can I Pair With Champagne?
The short answer is ‘anything’, you just need to find the right sugar level and right flavours, Champagne is very food-friendly, so if you just randomly pick out a bottle of Champagne and pair it with a dish, its most likely going to work in some way or another.
Seafood
When it comes to the delicacies of the ocoeans, seafood from salmon, tuna, cod, and even sushi, can be very much enjoyed alongside a Glass of Champagne, finding a bottle of Brut or Extra Dry Champagne will be a good idea, you can find The Perfect Seafood & Fizz Pairing here.
Chinese Food
Going for a Chinese Takeaway is the most popular takeaway option in the UK, we love dining with Chow Mein, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Crispy Duck, Spring Rolls and Fried Rice. Champagne can pair great with Chinese food, take a look at Pairing Champagne with Traditional Chinese Cuisine for some inspiration.
Pizza
One of the most enjoyed meals in the world, with thousands being delivered and freshly made every night, Pizza has a lot of potential with Champagne, uterlising the wide array of toppings from the plain Margaretta, Meat Feast, Pepperoni, and dare I say it, Hawaiian, check out Battle of The Bubbles – Pizzaland to see if Champagne is the best pairing, or if its another Sparkling Wine takes the crown.
Finding the perfect Pizza and Champagne combination can truly elevate your dining experience. If you’re looking to create a gourmet pizza night, you could try ordering a pizza kit from PrepaPizza for fresh ingredients and authentic dough to make your own restaurant quality pizza from your own home. Pair it with a bottle of Champagne, and you’ve got an unforgettable meal.
Hot Dogs
If you decide that the Hot Dog will be your dinner tonight, then Champagne is still on the table, you may be thinking it’s a bit high class for the standard Hot Dog, but you can go for the likes of a Bratwursts & Frankfurters, needless to say, Pairing Hot Dogs With A Glass of Bubbly gets a thumbs up from me.
Quiche
Can You Pair Champagne With Quiche? The short answer, Yes, the creamy, pastry dish pairs nicely with a bottle of Champagne, the fluffy dish allows the Champagne to flow through, so if you find a bottle with the flavours you like, then you should give the pairing a go.
French Onion Soup
When going into fine dining, French Onion Soup can be a fantastic starter or main, and when answering the questions, Can You Pair French Onion Soup with Champagne? The answer is most definitely YES! Although it’s a soup, the meaty and onion flavours allowed this Brut Nature Champagne to join perfectly, you have to try it to understand.
Risotto
Thanks to the Italians we have another fine dining meal that pairs nicely with a bottle of Champagne, combining its bold and powerful flavours with the clean-cut citrus flavours from this Champagne will create a charming evening for two. Risotto and Champagne.
