What the counter in Bercy does well
Fromagerie de Paris Lefebvre is a specialty shop on Rue de Charenton, in Bercy, and the first thing you meet inside is the display of cheeses aged to different points, from mild to strong, with a few harder-to-find names among them.
Raclette is the order that defines the place: cheese cut to feed a whole table, scaled up when you need it for a party of fifty, and it holds up when it melts. The other thing worth asking for is a composed platter, cow, sheep and goat arranged with fig and other accompaniments, which is what you want if you are carrying cheese to friends who think it all smells strong.
The counter works on advice and tasting. Ask and you will be walked through complementary cheeses before you commit, and purchases are wrapped with care for a trip or for shipping onward. A coffee sometimes appears while a large order is being put together. Queues form at busy moments; the shop is part of the neighbourhood routine.
Prices run high: a few pieces can reach €30. The spend band of €5–20 covers a modest selection, so go in with a number in mind and say it out loud.
Saturday is the long day, open straight through from 9 am to 8 pm, while Tuesday to Thursday close for lunch and reopen in the afternoon. The shop suits anyone assembling a board or feeding a group rather than a quick single purchase.
What to look for
Raclette cheese
Cut to order and sized for a crowd, including orders for gatherings of fifty; it melts cleanly and takes the plain, Morbier or wild garlic versions equally well.
Cheese platters
Cow, sheep and goat cheeses arranged with fig and other accompaniments, presented well enough to convert guests who claim they do not eat cheese.
Packing for travel
Purchases are wrapped carefully for a journey or for shipping to friends further away, so a platter survives the trip.
The pick list
What to bring home
Raclette cheese
Raclette cheese ordered for a 50-person gathering came out well, with Plain, Morbier and wild garlic among the varieties ordered.
Cheese platters
The assembled platters mix cow, sheep and goat cheeses with fig and other accompaniments, and the presentation and selection drew praise.
Who is this for
Anyone planning a raclette or fondue for a group will find the cheese cut to the right size and quantity here, including large orders. Travellers putting together a cheese board for a picnic or a rented apartment get a platter assembled and wrapped for carrying. And if you want to taste before committing to a cheese you do not know, the counter will walk you through it.
The verdict
Prices are high and portions can come bigger than you asked for, so this is a shop for a planned raclette or a proper platter rather than an everyday cheese run, and it earns its place on the cutting and the advice.
