Champagne + Fromage Covent Garden is a French bistro and delicatessen at 22 Wellington Street in London. The original Covent Garden location opened in 2011 and centres its experience on pairing Champagne with cheese and charcuterie. Its compact, informal character suits a tasting stop, a shared lunch or a relaxed evening built around several plates.
The restaurant sources artisan cheeses, cured meats and grower Champagnes from small independent French producers. Sharing boards combine different cheeses and meats with bread and condiments, making comparison part of the meal. Baked Camembert comes in variations such as garlic and herbs, honey and rosemary, or truffle, while raclette is served over roasted potatoes.
More substantial specialities include fondue made with Emmental, Gruyère and Comté, as well as duck confit and regional sausage when offered on the current menu. Guests can add simple sides or begin with olives, rillettes and other nibbles. Macarons and small French pastries provide a fitting finish without changing the bistro’s strongly savoury emphasis.
Champagne is available in several styles by the glass, and a tasting flight allows three expressions to be compared. The bubbles and acidity are deliberately paired with the richness and salt of cheese, from delicate goat’s cheese to blue varieties and warm Camembert. Staff can advise on combinations and should also be consulted about allergies or dietary requirements before ordering.
Address: 22 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7DD, England
