La Parisienne Pâtés

This Lygon Street French deli/café marches to a different beat inside Melbourne’s Italian neighbourhood of Carlton, with a selection of deli and baked goodies and, of course, fromage. The vast majority of their 40-strong cheese collection is French, carefully selected to pair with their equally impressive range of charcuterie and antipasto. The Gruyère and saucisson sec work well for a full-flavoured, savoury pairing, while the popular D’Affinois Brie is perfect for a good slathering onto a baguette. While most of their cheeses are imported, almost everything else is produced in their own factory, located about 100 metres down the road.
