La Fromagerie

Origins and reputation

La Fromagerie has served Marylebone since November 2002, when the shop opened on Moxon Street after the founder, Patricia Michelson, grew a loyal following from an earlier Highbury store. The team brings three decades of experience to London, with a working ethos built around seasonality, provenance and patient maturation. This independent, award-winning cheesemonger is known for its signature walk-in cheese room, where cheeses are cared for and shown at peak condition. Its knowledge reaches from British farmhouse producers to classic European appellations, and its wholesale arm supplies respected kitchens across the city. Featured by industry bodies and trusted in the trade, the business stands out for consistent sourcing, careful storage and plain-spoken advice that helps customers buy well.

What to expect

Visitors find a welcoming counter, helpful staff and a calm space to taste and choose. The shop includes a café and cheese and wine bar, with simple plates, toasted sandwiches and seasonal sides. An in-house affineur helps guests select by milk type, region, texture and age, then packs items for travel or gifts. Private tastings and ticketed events run on site, and corporate orders are managed with care. Local residents use the store for everyday treats and weekend tables, while chefs and buyers value its reliable wholesale service. Set among Marylebone’s independent food shops and cafes, La Fromagerie adds depth to the neighbourhood’s character and keeps good cheese at the centre of community life.
