Hotels near La Cave a Fromage

In true French style, this chic cheese shop piles its wares high and stinking, with no fridges, or glass barriers to stop customers getting in for a sniff. Ripeness is the key here - owners Eric Charriaux and Amnon Paldi own a wholesale business supplying cheese to restaurants (Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons and Tom Aitkens among them) so they have the facilities to mature all their cheeses, ensuring they hit the shop floor at the perfect moment. The emphasis is on French cheese, as you'd expect given the name and location, but there are plenty of British and European alternatives on offer, as well as cured meats and fresh bread.
