A cheese counter in Père Lachaise
Fromagerie Riondet is an independent specialty shop on Rue du Capitaine Ferber, in Père Lachaise, and what you notice first is the cheese: a range that runs wide enough to build a whole bag from, with charcuterie laid out alongside it.
The cheeses are what to buy. Ask for a mixed selection and you leave with something to eat that evening and something to keep for the next day. The charcuterie is worth adding to the same bag, and the assembled platters are the practical route if you are feeding a table rather than buying piece by piece.
The shop works as a counter, so you order at it rather than wander. Order taking is efficient, and the manager and staff are kind and helpful, which matters when you are choosing between cheeses you do not know. It is a neighbourhood shop in the way that phrase should mean: small, personal, and built around what is on the counter that day.
Spend stays modest for what you get: €5–20 covers a few items, so a mixed bag of cheeses and a little charcuterie sit comfortably inside that. Cards and cash are both accepted.
One practical snag: the shop is not on delivery platforms, so there is no ordering in from it. Otherwise it suits anyone staying nearby who wants a cheese board without a trip across the city.
What to look for
Cheese selection
The cheeses are the reason to come, and the range is deep enough to build a mixed bag from rather than settling for one piece.
Charcuterie
Sits alongside the cheese counter, so the same stop covers the rest of a board.
Prepared cheese platters
Assembled platters are put together for gatherings, a simpler route than buying piece by piece.
The pick list
What to bring home
Cheese selection
The cheeses are the reason to come: the range is the best around, so a mixed bag of cheeses is the obvious thing to carry home.
Charcuterie
Alongside the cheese counter, the shop stocks charcuterie, part of the same quality offering.
Prepared cheese platters
The assembled platters are very well put together, a practical option for a gathering rather than buying piece by piece.
Who is this for
This suits a traveler staying in or near Père Lachaise who wants to put together a cheese board without crossing the city. It is also a good stop for anyone assembling a picnic or a light supper from a counter rather than a supermarket aisle, with €5–20 covering a few items.
If you want breakfast pastry or a savoury dish rather than cheese to take away, Maison M & Z on Rue des Pyrénées pairs a bakery counter with prepared food.
The verdict
It is a small neighbourhood counter rather than a vast cheese hall, so the range is what fits a bag rather than a cellar, but for a traveler nearby wanting cheese and charcuterie for a table it does the job well.
