Opened by ex-secretary Patricia Michelson, La Fromagerie specialises in a wide range of cheeses and savoury items as well as rare wines and preserves, and is one of the finest cheese shops in the country. This branch is located just off Marylebone High Street, and offers lunch as well as a wide range of other fresh foods.
Oh this place is sublime! What an experience! Fortunate enough to be taking part in Food 2.0 a cookathon for 'charity' and Action Against Hunger hosted amongst others by TrustedPlaces, as contestants we spent the morning souring the best for the raw materials for some fabulous dishes!
So it was inevitable that I was taken in hand and led into La Fromagerie. I will now be a regular here whenever i come to london! First, the ambience (on a Sunday) was busy and vibrant with palate led fusion of tempting flavours crammed from floor to ceiling. Little delicacies to tempt and delight your senses from the charcuterie plates with seasonal dishes to the aroma of the cheese maturing cellar.
And its the cheese maturing cellar that is the real niche. A slide-to glass door is your entrance into the cool clime of the cellar. Don't tough! The friendly and helpful staff are on stand-by to advise, tempt, lead tastes and spur you onto to your perfect cheesey purchase. we opted for a Rocquefort. splendid. smelly, robust and slightly tingly on the tongue. What more could you want from a lazy Sunday morning for the ingredients of a perfecto brunch!
But why wait until you get home? There's also small tasting café! yum.
