What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Fromagerie is lauded for its superb food and diverse wine selection, offering a delightful taste of France in Alexandria. Diners particularly praise the artisanal cheese and charcuterie boards and flavorful small plates. While some find portion sizes small for the price, the overall experience is highly recommended for its warm atmosphere and knowledgeable staff.
"Great solo dining experience. Had three different wines, all fantastic. Ordered the chicken liver mousse (told the server it was too good for my waistline) and the beef stroganoff. All the food tasted fantastic, beef was a tad tough, but I wouldn’t dock them a star, the flavor of the sauce, the potatoes and mushrooms far compensated for that. Service was warm and inviting and an overall great experience. I’ll be back."

"La Fromagerie is such a unique place in Alexandria!! If you want to feel like you’re in France you must visit this place. Everything is served so fresh and their sommelier helps you pair wine as well. I enjoy thei appetizers (foie gras is 100% recommended to try), their lamb dish is amazing and they always have seasonal assorted desserts."

"A fantastic place to have a date or meet with 1-3 friends. Right on King street so I use it as a way to start the night and he staff is very knowledgeable about wine. I had the 3 piece Charcuterie which was shared between two people."

The best restaurants in Alexandria
Yes, if it’s served from the kitchen at La Fromagerie, a genre-bending alcove in Old Town Alexandria where modern American seasonality influences the Lyonnaise chef and owner, Sebastien Tavel. Okra is served almost whole, save for the tips sliced off at an angle, where it mingles with spiced pecans and corn kernels in a buttery sheen. It’s a primer on how to love this oft maligned vegetable: It’s not oozy or slimy, it’s sleek and fresh.

La Fromagerie is fun for wine & snacks, plus there used to be this older bearded gentleman who frequented the bar who was always dressed SO well. Dapper, I think is the right word. Like snappy 3 piece suit and matching hat and custom shoes.
