Fromagerie Laurent Dubois

The food offering at Laurent Dubois centers entirely on cheese, but within that focus lies extraordinary diversity and depth. The selection represents a carefully curated journey through French cheese-making regions and beyond, with each variety chosen for its quality, character, and the expertise of its producer. Extensively aged Comtés reveal the complexity that time and skill can coax from raw milk, while fresh chèvres capture the bright, tangy essence of goat's milk at its peak.

The range encompasses all major cheese families: soft bloomy-rind varieties like Camembert and Brie, washed-rind cheeses with their distinctive aromatic profiles, pressed cooked cheeses from mountain regions, blue-veined varieties, and fresh cheeses. Beyond French classics, the selection includes exceptional cheeses from neighboring countries—Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano aged to crystalline perfection, Dutch Goudas with caramel notes, Swiss Alpine varieties, and English cheddars with sharp, complex flavors.

What sets Laurent Dubois apart is the affinage expertise applied to each cheese. The careful control of humidity and temperature during aging allows cheeses to develop their full potential, achieving optimal texture and flavor complexity. This mastery of affinage means that even familiar varieties reveal new dimensions when sourced and aged by true experts.

At the Printemps du Goût restaurant, cheese transcends its traditional role as a course or accompaniment to become the foundation of complete dishes. Here, you'll find both raw cheese presentations—carefully composed plateaux that tell stories of terroir and tradition—and cooked preparations that showcase cheese's versatility in hot dishes. The restaurant format allows for creative explorations of cheese in gastronomy, from fondues and raclettes to more innovative preparations that highlight specific varieties' unique characteristics.

The commitment to diversity extends to accommodating various preferences, with an extensive selection suitable for vegetarians and options spanning from mild, accessible varieties to intense, challenging cheeses for adventurous palates. Wine pairing suggestions help elevate the tasting experience, matching regional wines with cheeses from the same terroirs or creating complementary contrasts that enhance both elements.
