Legendary cheese Shop and tasting cafe
I am not an every day cheese person. I save it up for special occassions and this place is perfect. It is a cheese eaters dream.
Nestled in this quiet street of Marylebone High Street is La Fromagerie, which is a cheese fiends heaven. There is an open shop with lots of goodies (where I have done a few late Christmas runs for things like Chutneys and unusual condiments) but the piece de reisistance is a seales off cheese room where cheeses are literally piled upto the ceiling. It is a cosy and jostling little room with an overwhelming cheesy pong that gets you over excited and probably makes you buy more cheese than you mean to.
A really novel addition to this shop cum cheese haven is a cafe where you can have a cheese tasting pit stop with a glass of wine (oh and some salad, coffee or afternoon tea if you must).
So, if you like cheese then La Fromagerie is a winner and the kind of place, I suppose, that TrustedPlaces is all about. Original, unusual and quite a treasure.

Bloody love La Fromagerie. It's like an Aladin's cave full of cheese. You go in to get a little bit of cheese for a dinner party and land up buying most of the shop!
Very knowledgeable staff indeed. And passionate too.
