La Fromagerie

exterior of the shop and the cheese room

With two locations in London on Marylebone and Highbury street, La Fromagerie is a staple of the London restaurant scene. The cheese shop supplies imported cheese to restaurants and individual customers. These can be found in the refrigerated cheese room in the front of the store which is stocked with cheeses from numerous countries and a range of types and tastes that satisfy a variety of palettes.

But customers can also stop in and sit down for a bite to eat. The tasting cafe offers a great opportunity to try a variety of cheeses selected by the shop's experts. When any of these dairy delights are paired with the fresh bread and a slice of prosciutto or salami, you get a mouth watering combination.

But while cheese may be the name of the game, do not pass on the other gourmet items, especially the desserts. My friend tried and deeply recommends a thick slice of banana cake topped with luscious vanilla butter cream icing.

I will definitely be heading back before I leave to try this Hazelnut Meringue cake.
