A lovely authentic French bistro specializing in French cheeses, deli eats and decadent patisserie and coffee by day on the ground floor, this two floor venue houses also Maison Vauron, an upstairs cellar d’or restaurant open for private functions and dinners.
Liked:
1. The authenticity of the French speaking service staff, general decor and buzz from a crowd of enthusiastic foodies to French locals missing their favorite French fix. It was a full house on a Friday at noon!
2. The food - consistently good and authentic - from the choc eclairs which jumped off the display counter onto plates the minute they were put out - to the equally fast disappearing hearty quiches and sandwiches, each served with a small side salad.
We could not come here without enjoying their amazing croque monsieur served warm from the griddle - crispy on the outside and cheesy gooey on the inside.
Also ordered the tapenade served with bread, gerkins and leeks which was very simple but hearty and full of flavour - so good that we ordered another side of bread to finish it off.
Then there was the mushroom gnocchi, a small hearty but well presented portion full of flavour and great texture.
My favorite was the Duck saucisson - an excellent choice served with runny poached egg - a bit like having a rustic French version of a egg bene.
3. Do leave room for Dessert and coffee. Next time I’ll be faster w the eclairs.

The moment I stepped into L'Atalier Du Fromage, I felt like I walked into a little French cheese boutique in France. I immediately noticed cheeses for Africa and a satisfying whiff of fresh buttery pastries. I was in love! We had to wait for a while to get a table and this was an afternoon on a week day so be sure to make a booking everytime you go. For our mains, we had the Duck Saucisson (Sausage) with a potato poached eggs and a red wine sauce. Delicious and solid homemade sausage and the red wine sauce was out of this world. The other dish we had was the potato truffle gnocci with poached egg and a veloute (white sauce). The gnocci was nice and soft with that hint of truffle and the veloute went so well with it. Lastly the croque monsieur was incredible with its melted cheese and golden bread crust. This was heavenly, I could have 3 of these! L'Atelier Du Fromage serves amazing food, amazing service and perfect ambience!
