La Fromagerie Du Passage
About
La Fromagerie Du Passage is a celebrated cheesery‑restaurant tucked into the historic streets of Aix‑en‑Provence. Since 2021 its tiny, rustic shop has been curating a constantly evolving selection of more than a hundred French cheeses, from the velvety brie of Lorraine to the peppery roquefort of the Côte‑d’Azur. Visitors can sample these aged delicacies from the famous "Tonneaux Apéros" – a convivial bar set among authentic barrels where guests are served the cheese at boutique‑price cuts, complete with a slice of bread and a linen set. At the same time the restaurant upstairs offers a Chef‑led menu that blends seasonal market produce with classic Provençal flavors, featuring a signature cheese board of over 25 varieties and a two‑tiered menu that changes with the seasons. For those who love a touch of al‑fresco sophistication, the roof terrace on the second floor presents sweeping views of the old town, a perfect backdrop for wine tastings from a curated library of more than 200 vintages, all paired by the seasoned sommelier Fabrice Sommer. Whether you’re a cheese connoisseur, a wine lover, or a family on a culinary adventure, La Fromagerie Du Passage offers a complete Provençal experience that blends historic charm with contemporary hospitality.
