We are
Champagne + Fromage
…where Champagne meets cheese in true French style. We are a family owned bistro and shop bringing rustic French classics with a modern twist to the heart of the city.
ABOUT US
At Champagne + Fromage, we believe Champagne is far more than a drink for special occasions. It is a wine to be enjoyed every day, with or without food, and it shines brightest when paired with cheese.
Our passion lies in celebrating this perfect pairing. The crisp acidity and delicate aromas of Champagne complement the rich, complex flavours of artisan cheese in a way that few other wines can. Together, they create harmony, a taste of France at its most authentic and indulgent.
A French Bistro with a twist
More than just a bar or restaurant, Champagne + Fromage is a little corner of France in the heart of the city. Inspired by the charm of traditional French bistros, we have created a space that feels rustic yet refined, relaxed yet full of character. It is a place to share food, laughter and moments, all best enjoyed with a glass of bubbles in hand.
Our menu is a celebration of regional French comfort food with a modern touch. Think melted raclette cascading over charcuterie and potatoes, creamy Mont d’Or baked to perfection, bubbling cheese fondues to share, and beautifully prepared tartines layered with French ingredients. Each dish is designed to bring out the best in both Champagne and cheese, offering a truly indulgent experience.
Bringing a bit of France home
We are also a shop because we believe the joy of Champagne + Fromage should continue beyond the bistro. Our shelves are filled with artisanal cheeses, cured meats, preserves and grower Champagnes so you can recreate the experience at home. Whether you are hosting friends or simply treating yourself, our handpicked selection lets you bring a slice of French indulgence to your own table.
Events and Tastings
At Champagne + Fromage, we love to share our knowledge and passion. We host private and corporate events, guided tastings, and exclusive evenings with our independent Champagne growers. These experiences are designed to introduce guests to the artistry behind grower Champagne, the nuances of cheese pairing, and the stories of the people who make it all possible.
Whether you are planning an intimate celebration, a team event, or a bespoke tasting for clients, our dedicated team can tailor each experience to suit your needs and bring a touch of French sparkle to any occasion.

Together, these two French families have combined their expertise to create something unique, the world’s only company devoted entirely to the art of pairing Champagne and cheese, proudly protected by a global trademark.
