La Cave a Fromage

It’s only a mere few days until Christmas! This means the final push for present buying, excessive amounts of food and drink and planning the Christmas lunch with the mother – and most importantly, buying the cheeses for the cheeseboard.

There’s a welcome new addition to Portobello Rd in my opinion, with the opening of new farmhouse cheese shop and restaurant La Cave A Fromage. There are already two other stores in and around London in South Kensington and Brighton (Hove).

It’s a lovely little piece of France in the middle of the bustle of Notting Hill’s busiest thoroughfare; as soon as you step in the door you’ll feel you’re in Brittany. With this sign greeting you, what’s not to love?!photo-4 photo-3

Along with a fantastic range of cheeses from all different regions, there is also a fine wine selection and various cured and fresh meats for you to choose from (warning: coming here hungry can do serious damage to a bank balance!)

You’ll find La Cave at 148 Portobello Road, and if you’re quick, you can also get one of their amazing Christmas hampers made up for a special gift for fellow foodies! They also hold a range of tasting events and for a list of what’s coming up in 2014, see HERE.
