La Fromagerie

Cheese. Everywhere. Patricia Michelson's La Fromagerie is thus something of a vegan's nightmare (but then, so are most restaurants), but if you’re ever partial to a wee slither of a rich, nutty Stilton, a buttery Brie or toasty Gruyere then this is like dying and going to the great Cheese Shack in the Sky.

In fact, it's a little like heaven if you're into any food. Wonder through the wide stable-like entrance off Marylebone High Street and you're greeted by a selection of vibrant organic peppers, pots of magical-looking honeys and conserves with handmade labels (and appropriately high price tags) and an incredible selection of meats. To the right is the glass-walled cheese room, literally stacked with cheesey offerings from pretty much any farm animal that can produce milk. And in the back, behind it all, there's even a little slice of in-house culinary perfection.

The café-restaurant is possibly one of the tiniest in town, but with a seasonal menu of charcuterie plates, quiches and delightful cakes, it really is something of a treasure ideal for a sneaky tea or leisurely weekend brunch. The folks there will also happily pair any of their cheeses or meats to a specific wine from their enviable selection, or indeed vice versa if your priorities are so inclined.
