Marylebone (Main Branch)La Fromagerie reviews
As a regular visitor to this shop I've never experienced grumpiness from the staff - they've always been extremely helpful and forthcoming with suggestions and are happy to let you taste the cheeses. The old spot pork pies are also very good. Food here is expensive, but worth every penny.
by cuppatea (3 reviews), 05 May 2006Sensational cheeses and the staff know exactly what they're talking about.
The real experience is to walk through the shop door and be enveloped by the best 'stinky cheese' smell in London. I love the way kids react (retching, vomit noises).
Other hidden treasures are their non-cheesy products: delicious muffins, fantastic quiches and flans. These people know how to eat well!
Fantastic staff and some of the best cheese in Britain. I feel that the other reviewers might be better off sticking to pre-packed 'cheddar' from Asda if they felt this place was overpriced. A place for people who truly appreciate food, not for those who think a Jamie Oliver book qualifies them as a foodie.
by Anonymous, 03 Mar 2005I am a regular customer, and have always found the staff courteous, helpful, and thoroughly professional in their dealings with me. These other reviews seem to be grossly unfair and I doubt if they are genuine - are they talking about the same shop? And it goes without saying, the cheese is the finest in the UK, to say nothing of everything else they sell.
by Anonymous, 09 Dec 2004Heavenly cheeses, but possibly the worst service in London. You feel the need to apologise to them for troubling them with huge chunks of cash from your wallet. In this part of North London, the horrible staff are as much of a legend as the divine fromage.
by Anonymous, 30 Oct 2004It may be the original but its gang of grumpy old men qualify as perhaps some of the worst shop assistants you could wish to encounter. Their bare faced refusal to sell a fresh goats cheese is frankly ridiculous. Oh an it ain't cheap.
