"La Fromagerie is the brainchild of Patricia Michaelson, London’s grande dame of cheese who fell in love with Beaufort — a type of cheese, not a Frenchman — on an Alpine skiing holiday and started selling it from her garden shed in Highgate. In 1992, the operation grew into La Fromagerie’s first location in Highbury Park, with a second branch eventually opening in Marylebone and a third — in Bloomsbury, opposite Noble Rot, a wholesale customer along with the River Cafe, Gordon Ramsay and Angela Hartnett. The Marylebone location boasts the most extensive food selection, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and takeaways — from cheese-led classics like fondue Savoyarde and Ploughman’s to regionally-inspired fare, galettes, and farmhouse breakfasts. The cheese and charcuterie boards are a rite of passage and come with a detailed flavour breakdown and a wine pairing, leaving patrons satiated, tipsy and — hopefully — better-versed in gastronomic nuances." - Daria Kyrilova
