I've been once before and I absolutely love this place! This time around there was a music event and it was awesome! Love the food and such a great place to go to for any kind of occasion to treat yo self!

Purchased gift baskets for my family in Sudbury. The process was easy and a great value! Everyone loved their goodies and it included a $20 gift card, so happy they can go and experience it soon!

Pamela Belanger

The waitress was great, the food was delicious it was like an explosion of taste buds been activated by different sorts of cheeses and meats. If you are parking at a meter make sure you give yourself a good 2 hours. It takes a while to prepare the food.

Amazing atmosphere, service and food!! We had some appetizers and drinks then grabbed some items from inside. Great spot!

Guy Crawford

I was recently disappointed and very insulted to see to see one of the owners (the working owner) was sharing racist imagery on her social media account. I have attached the picture for reference. She states that the Jim Crow era of black segregation is “basically” the same as the choice to remain not vaccinated. This is so ignorant that it left me speechless. When it was brought to their attention, neither owner took accountability and one of their employees continued to be further prejudiced, comparing covid to the Holocaust. It’s tremendously insulting. Further, she about not following safety standards related to covid, despite the government order to do so. In a small place like Sudbury, having a hot spot for covid could really hurt our health system, putting things like surgeries at risk of delay, etc. I would consider choosing somewhere else to give your business to rather than supporting a small business where the values of ownership not only matter, but can’t help to be present in their day to day operations. Note I don’t think their Facebook reviews are very accurate - it appears they’ve been editing out any negative or constructive feedback/low start reviews

I hosted an event for 45 people. Grazing table! The setup and service was outta this world! Timed to perfection, beautiful, tasty spread. Great time had by all. Marlena was welcoming and extremely helpful with all our needs. Kelsey managed all the details remotely, phenomenal organizational skills! I highly recommend for your next event.

A staple in our downtown. Great selection with tons of healthy, vegan options. I LOVE the coffee flights. A non-alcoholic version of flights is ????????????

I’ve really tried to like this place The first few times I had been service was really slow, I figured it was just as I went during busy hours or they didn’t have adequate staff members. Things have seemed to change for the worst since covid. I’ve gone about four times recently in the past few months to pick up cheese or eat out, and I’ve been disappointed each time. They just don’t follow mask guidelines. I went to pick up takeout the other day and the kitchen staff member was cooking without a mask on, the server quickly threw one on to put me through and two other employees were maskless just a few metres from me Every. Single. Time. I have gone to eat here since mask guidelines have been implemented there have been staff members prancing around maskless It’s so disappointing that a small business in our community doesn’t want to keep its community members and customers safe. I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome, and also unsafe eating the takeout I had ordered, considering that safe food handling procedures during the pandemic were obviously not being implemented. I’m so disappointed. I honestly felt so uncomfortable and I urge anyone who wants to stay safe during the pandemic to go to a different restaurant. You don’t know who is handling your food and where they have been visiting or who they have been seeing, and the fact they aren’t wearing a mask and breathing all over my takeout is honestly disgusting.

Always a great experience. Staff and food are amazing

Sheena Welsh

One of my favourite restaurants in Sudbury! A light, airy and welcoming space with a varied and delicious selection of cheese and meat boards, complimented with a well stocked bar. Friendly and welcoming staff talk you through your selections and take great care of you. A must-visit on every trip.

Mark Whidden

Love this place., it's atmosphere, the people, the service and especially the food!

Elizabeth Cousar

Wonderful charcuterie and desserts. Soup was lukewarm (but still delicious, so I didn’t say anything), and salad was a bit heavily dressed. Our waiter was helpful and knowledgeable. Cheese and cured meats are expensive in general, but I felt I got value here. Atmosphere was pleasant. A nice evening for us tourists!

Stacey Nearing

Owner is absolutely disgusting. So glad they got canceled as a venue. Now let's cancel them period

Mark Gentili

It was the most pleasant experience

Tonight, after doing some shopping in the west end, my daughter recommended that we try out the Fromo. This rustic little spot in the downtown serves up all things cheese. And who doesn’t love cheese!?!? ???? The ladies started off enjoying a cranberry and pear sangria to share, served in a French press, which we all thought was kind cool. Our food order tonight included the baked garlic shrimp, baked Mac and cheese and the grilly of the day (photos attached). First off let me just say that from where we were sitting we could smell the garlic shrimp being baked, and the smell of that baking cheese was oh so heavenly! The taste was equally on the same level... so delish! My mac and cheese was hot, cheesy, creamy, rich and so flavourful... perfect combination for this cool late summer evening. Both my daughter and wife raved similarly about their meals too. If they tasted as fantastic as they looked then I’m sure they were awesome. My wife also loved her bread pudding for dessert. My only negative experience here on this night was finding a few odd things floating in my glass of ice water. I’m not really sure how they got there, but the waiter quickly replaced my glass when asked. (This review would have been 5 star otherwise) If you haven’t yet, you gotta stop by and give them a try! You won’t be disappointed.

Nancy Daigle

Absolutely love the Fromo! I love their wine and cheese deals every Monday. Very friendly staff and amazing owners! Definitely recommend eating here ♥️

The Clan

What an amazing experience. Highly recommend- All the worry about food was out of my hands and everyone was amazed with the choice and quality. I will be back! Thank you so much for everything!

Elitah

Disappointed with how your staff treated another patrons with rude, entitlement. Went last Saturday night to try out this trendy spot for the first time and was greeted snobbishly by your hostess right off the bat. We kindly requested a spot on the patio where we were seated. The server came by to take our drink order which went fine. While we waited for our drinks, not 20mins later, one of the other patrons flagged down a server to speak about an issue with her salad. Instead of acknowledging the issue with the food, the server began to argue with the patron, telling her in a raised voice "I don't work in the kitchen, how would I know that your cheese was frozen!?". The arguing continued, which turned into the server berating the patron in front of all the other seated guests on the patio. It lasted 2-3 mins until another staff member arrived who ended the argument and left with the server who continued to discuss the incident in front of the other seated guest on the patio. It was so unprofessional I couldn't even believe it. For obvious reasons we felt uncomfortable, and elected to leave immediately before our drinks had even hit the table. Doesn't matter how good the food is, I'm not going back.

Delicious food in a sunny summer day. Beer was a little warm but so was the weather at +31°

Jenn Ricker

We had our wedding ceremony, and reception at La Fromagerie on July 24th, 2021 and let me tell you it was amazing. The venue is rustic, and romantic. Food was amazing, and fhe staff working were awesome. Would recommend to anyone looking to book an event!

Food was okay.. Got Fried Cheese curds they where barely warm when we got them. We ordered a charcuterie board that ended up being larger than our table and the cheeses and accompaniments where not very stellar. Drinks where good. And the flatbread we ordered was pretty delicious but only when it's warm. The wait staff was friendly but you could clearly tell no one was in the mood to work that night. Aside from mediocre food atmosphere was nice and it was an enjoyable evening.

alexis michaud

great service every single time I go there. LOVE the ocean water cocktail

Sean Sander

Felicia our server was fantastic. Not a great selection of cheeses. The cheeses I had were very cold when served, and nice but not great. No options for which cheeses you wish to have. Not a great selection of wine or beer. The menu does not say which beer they have. Ordered a Sleeman and expected Sleeman original or cream ale, but they brought 2.0 The food we did have was good. Patio is along a busy roadway, but at 8pm the traffic was very light. Loved how they set it up with seating and a few swings. Would return and hope they give more options for cheeses and wine/beer.

Under new ownership, the Fromo has become a bastardization of what it used to be. It has mutated into a subpar millennial hangout more focused on the pretty "Instagram" aesthetic with its boho-inspired hanging chairs and parlour palms, than on the excellent products and knowledgeable staff of days past. Sweet and unbalanced cocktails with "candy boards" have replaced vertical flights of Italy's finest from the days of yore, all for the sake of general appeal. Service staff is very friendly (hence the extra star), but undertrained. I understand the appeal and I see their success, but as a decade-long industry vet, the new Fromo is nothing I haven't seen before. I suggest grabbing a bottle from the vintages section of the LCBO and heading over to Tarini's for cheese and meats. You'll get better product, and save yourself the 400% markup.

Oscar Andres Vargas Mora

My sister brought us to this cute, trendy little hidden gem in Sudbury. I was obsessed. The overall aesthetic was amazing, the swing chairs were so adorable and so much fun. We got the dill pickle grilled cheese sandwhich, YUM. the cheese boards, SOOOO good. Literally heaven on earth. I am so obsessed. The only thing I think could be altered is that the prosecco be added to the wine flights haha

What an truly unique experience with great food, sips, and staff! We visited for a lunch charcuterie and fishbowl Friday and enjoyed it so much, we stayed a wee bit longer and indulged in Mason Jar desserts and cafe Lattes. If I lived closer I would visit every day at this hipster delish must eat location.

Sarah Meunier

It was an excellent experience! Food was delicious and the girl who is working as a host is the best!

Darryl Korte

My husband brought me to this restaurant for a date night and I was amazed by the service and the food. Didn’t know we had such a good place to eat healthy and good food on Sudbury. That was my first time but for sure not the last.

Alexis' World123

The staff here are absolutely amazing! Been a long time since I've been to such a friendly and uplifting place! Great food, great people and the owner is a sweetheart! Best place in town!

Oksana Onufryk/Tubaro

thank you for a great evening I enjoy the atmosphere and cocktails were yummy as well as the food highly recomend it

Sabina Bashir

Valerie and her staff are remarkable. I love this place one of my fav places in Sudbury, hands down!

Giah sumalde

The cutest spot with the best service and charcuterie boards around! Everything my group and I had was exquisite!! Already told all my friends and family about this place. Can't wait to go back again. Would definitely recommend! Cheers!

Darren Leblanc

Just called the restaurant after trying to place an online order to pick up. Wanted to see if they were open to the public or accepting orders for take out. My first call was answered and hung up on immediately, the second wasn't answered. I then received a TEXT from the restaurant asking what they could do for me? Maybe answer your phone and don't text your potential customers. I responded to their very awkward way of communication stating I was trying to figure out if they were open or taking take out orders and didn't get a response back. I've never seen this happen in all my years of customer service. communicate with your clientele in the same manner they communicate with you - a phone call requires a phone call, an email - to an email, a text is for your friends, family and co-workers; Not for a stranger trying to spend their money in your establishment. Good luck, is all I can say.

Francoise Kemayi

Incredibly disheartened by this establishment. The owners have posted volatile, racist, and otherwise hateful things and whenever folks, myself included, have attempted attempted engage them in conversation about how and why this is problematic and steps to take for accountability in the process, they have silenced, ignored, and tried to "bribe" with BOGO latte coupons. Unprofessional, rude, and blatantly racist.

Chris Elzinga

La Fromagerie is a must place too try...they have a great menu for everyone...children and pet friendly ????A+ Can't forgot the hard working staff and owners that are working hard with this times that we are living in Bravo to La Fromagerie

Morgan Cashmore

First time at the Fromagerie for me and the wife and we will for sure be returning! Simple food done really well. We love to support local and love that we found a gem in our own city!

SAM NOBLE

One of the best spots in Sudbury. Amazing food and amazing owner and staff. Never disappointed with the service.

Brandon Bazinet

Loved it! Would definitely recommend it. Will go again soon.

Annie Tremblay

What these ladies have done with this establishment is breathtaking. Beautiful food and wonderful service. A definite MUST if you're visiting downtown Sudbury!

Karen St Amour

Always a wonderful dining experience or take away package that never disappoints!Highly recommend!

Jenn Murray

I couldn't believe this was the absolute best service I received in so long. The staff are amazing! The food and drinks are so yummy. I have the most respect for this business for treating everyone equally. This was truly the best experience I have had in the longest time. I will continue to support this business and the most amazing staff for their amazing service. I cannot express it enough. Thank you ❤

Mandy Lalonde

Fantastic selection of cheese and other appetizers. Friendly staff happy to have you sample the selection. I just love having local small businesses from which to buy!

Nancy Stewart

We decided to treat ourselves to some cheesecake and an assortment of cheeses for our 6th anniversary. We are so glad we did! The service was friendly and everything was packaged beautifully. (We did takeout due to covid). First of all, the strawberry cheesecake was beautiful to look at; covered in strawberries, blackberries and drizzled with just the right amount of chocolate. It had a smooth creamy texture, tasted fresh and not overly sweet; absolutely decadent! I had also requested a variety of cheeses with lots of flavour; unique ones I may not have ever had before. Our waitress made great choices. We had a great time sampling them with red wine to wash it down. It was hard to pick a favourite - the St. Agur maybe? They were all so delicous. Thank you Fromagerie for a fantastic foodie experience, we will be back!

What’s not to like about The Fromo, from the moment me and my group hit the patio we were met with nothing but smiles and positive vibes. The menu was tricky as everything looked so good so we enjoyed some drinks as well as some different flights that were suggested and we weren’t disappointed! As the smells from other customers food started to hit the patio we started ordering a little bit of everything. (My absolute favorite was the French Onion Soup and garlic shrimp) we were checked on regularly and nothing was overlooked. A special shout out to the owner that supported her team well into the late evening. We will for sure be back to enjoy again and the take away boxes were a huge hit around the fire later that evening. Well done Le Fromagerie C'est magnifique! ????????????????

Baron Nelson

Amazing service. I love going to the Fromo every Wednesday with my bestie. There is always such an authentic and crisp ambiance to this place; so much so, every week I look forward to Wednesdays' noon hour. I have very specific dietary issues and I find the owner very helpful and accommodating--she suggests menu items that I can eat. I am.happy the fromo exists. If you have dietary food restrictions the fromo is the place to be. Ten outta ten would recommend ????????

Ash

The waitress was super friendly and our food and drinks were so delicious!

Just for the reviews 6

Everytime I visit The Fromo they have been consistent with delivering original and delicious food, they have a one of a kind atmosphere and polite staff. The only negative aspect is that their indoor dining is closed.

maria santos

Called to ask to make an order online since they don’t accept visa debit online. Someone answered the phone and was very rude to us. We asked if they accept debit over the phone and denied us. So we offered to come to the store to pay with our debit or cash. They responded no we don’t accept either. So we said “ so we can’t order anything?..” They responded “nope!” And hung up the phone!! Then when the own KELS responded to my message on Facebook they responded with “our store accepts visa debit and cash” After I responded with my experience. KELS completely ignored us. Horrible way to deal with customer service and horrible way to run a business. Shame on you.

James M

Wonderful place to eat. Lots of healthy food options. Great drinks. Phenomenal friendly service.

brady martin

A bit pricey but good service and quality

Natasha Charlebois

Not the type to write reviews, especially not the negative kind but my experience was too bad not to share. Ive heard nothing but good about the Fromo and went here for a date night. Immediately upon being seated inside, where we were one of only three seated tables, we were told that our server would be with us in a moment as there was a situation occuring. Our server was being pulled aside and reprimanded, to which would happen repeatedly in the span of two hours we stayed. Our server who's name we only found out through our receipt after our meal was Eric, we were neglected the whole experience. He often opted to serve the table of girls beside ours and ignore us entirely, going out of his way to do so. Our food was not served to us when it was ready and we were even able to hear the staff preparing food complain about the servers ignoring the indoor seated guests. Resulting in our food being lukewarm at best upon receiving it. The atmosphere of this work place seemed hostile and toxic at best. Everyone appeared frustrated and i got the impression this establishment is very unprofessional and disorganized. The food itself was very mediocre, especially given the price. The charcuterie board i had ordered seemed to taste stale (for lack of better word), as if it had been sitting out prior. The food was lack luster and unappealing. Where the online menu offered a choice of spreads, the server did not bother to ask and walked away before i could get a word in. The sweet potato fries I had ordered came with a nice hair entangled within and the cheese had a bug on it when i recieved it. Throughout our time there we noticed a fly problem that seemed to stem from the area food was being prepped. Ordering was also a task, it was difficult to get a server's attention and we ordered a coffee that we never recieved. Overall the experience really sucked, so much so we couldnt help but laugh about it after. Didnt bother to stay for dessert, thats for sure.

Maude Demers-Rivard

After one of the owners likened vaccine passports to segregation. These people will never get my business or business from my peers and loved ones again. Please be warned. To my fellow BIPOCs you are not safe at this location. Personal values are reflected in business practices, and as a BIPOC person I would not feel safe here. In additional poor taste, they've offered a BOGO drink deal to some people who have posted about the incident. ZERO accountability.

Alexandra Brazeau

Purchased the cheese advent calendar. Good idea but very disappointing execution. Cheeses were hard and dry by the first week. Definitely not worth the over $100 price for 24 tiny pieces of dried out cheese.

Dave White

Terrible food worst french onion soup that I ever had. The guy preparing food wasn't even wearing a mask

Hilary Grant

Fun, easy going, rustic atmosphere I can't get enough of. Super friendly service and all the cheese you could ask for. Different specials and a half priced app day seriously couldn't ask for much better! Love la fromagerie

Kelsey Parker

The Fromo is my go-to restaurant. Whether I am out with the girls, a romantic date, or a lunch by myself, this place has it all! Delicious food and drinks with great service and wonderful atmosphere!!

Carly McWhinnie

It was good food but expensive and not much... 3 sandwiches for $56 and not very warm. The waitress left our food on the counter while she waited for a customer to pay. Two of the waitresses had long loose hair. One was continually flinging it back with her hand. Place looked clean and the renovations were eco friendly.

Courtney Flynn

A hidden gem in Sudbury! Absolutely love this place. The food & the drinks are so yum!

Jennifer Harrington

Loved the patio! Food was so good! Alot of variety on food. Fun atmosphere!

Dani Thegirl

La Fromagerie is a must try restaurant when you’re in Sudbury or Downtown. Their food is great, they have awesome stuff as well as amazing owner that goes above and beyond. The ambiance of The Fromo is amazing, it is a perfect spot for a date/family time or even just for lunch(wine) date with friends. They have an amazing selections of cheeses. Their garlic butter shrimp is to die for and their salads are delicious and fresh ????. I love their desserts selections as well as their drinks. You can see the creativity aside from the yumminess. I recommend the fromo 100%.

I wanted to get my mom a “grazing box” for Christmas since I wouldn’t be able to come home for the holidays, and it was something her and I enjoyed this last summer from a local place here in Saskatoon. After enquiring among friends in Sudbury I was pointed to La Fomo. I had tried to order first online but their website seemed to have some issues (probably since I was in another province with billing info etc). I then phoned and placed my order with a lovely customer service representative who explained the box I was purchasing, prices and delivery fees. Everything was explained respectfully and clearly and I had a very good interaction. On the day of delivery there was a bit of a hiccup in regards to delivery times, but once it was brought to the attention of staff it was quickly and promptly resolved. My mother receiving my gift within 10 minutes after I had gotten in touch with the store. Would definitely order gifts again from La Fomo. My mom was very satisfied with her box of treats. Thank you again!

Suzanne Francisco

Food is disgusting. Ther service is atrocious. You would be better off eating a 2 day old Subway sandwich you find in a public dumpster.

Sam Wynne-McAughey

Excellent! They've met the challenge of providing outdoor dining beautifully. The food was great. Service friendly. I just found the umbrellas didn't provide enough protection from the sun and don't think they'd b any good in rain.

nicole depatie

Such a quaint spot! The cheese selection is so intriguing as are their selection of beer and wine. Great spot with a patio

R M

Very good experience, we took the special cheese/charcuterie sampler with a wine sampler.. for 38$ + 13$ and it was a lot of food. Our waitress was very nice and the place is cozy. Having a French background and the restaurant having a French name, I would’ve liked a couple French cheeses on the plate, But the cheeses we had were also very good.

Tara Marie

Really expensive for things that don’t deserved. 9$ for a small side of cold fried. We’ve ask mayo, It cost us 2$ extra and the mayo arrived 20 minutes after we’ve order it. The service was disappointing. And 7$ for a bottle of sleeman…

Rem Lonsdale

Obviously, by the name, they sell cheese. The menu looks okay. I just don't like that when you order a charcuterie board, you can't choose the types of cheese or meats you get. Also, if you order a flight of wine, it's the bartender's choice. Most places I've been to before, offer flights from certain regions, or flights that are paired with your food order. For me, it was okay, but I don't think I'd go there again if it was my choice.

Josh Lalonde

My favourite place to eat downtown! Such a great vibe, and the food / drinks are always amazing.

Russ F

The kitchen staff made the best specialty grilled cheese I ever had and the service from the hostess and servers was 6 stars.Thanks again Valerie and Team Fromage.Also if the French onion soup is an option on that day ,do it! You will not be disappointed.

D Kenndy

Horrible definitely wouldn’t recommend. The one owner was super snobby and seemed to be in a rush.

Lisa Durdle

Waitress is the best! The lady in the track suit with a 3 yr old kid foods good

Maree Grace

We called and they gave us a reservation and said it was no problem for us to come for 19:25. When we got there we still had to wait in line in order to talk to someone about our reservation and get seated. They seated us 15 min after our reservation time, which we could’ve overlooked because we understand it’s difficult to go out to eat during the pandemic. Once they seated us inside, where things were barely 2 meters apart, they gave us menus and then left us sitting there for 40 mins! No one came by to offer us a drink or explain or apologize, we were simply ignored for 40mins. During that time they served another table that was seated 2 tables after us. We finally had enough at 20:20 so we got up and left, the servers saw and again no one did anything. Awful experience, would not recommend unless you want to be ignored for 40 mins.

Naaila Ali

Thank you so much La Fromagerie for always doing such an excellent job with all our events. We couldn’t do it with out you. Such a great variety of delicious cheese. Muah ???? Kat & Darren

Geo Thomas

My daughter brought a cheese platter home yesterday. We had a feast. All was good. The only problem is that we loved some of the cheeses but we’re not sure what they are. It would be great if they were listed with the packaging so we can get more.

Christine Pauze

We held our wedding reception here on September 29th, 2019 and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is beautiful, central, and modern. Perfect for an intimate wedding - we hosted 70 people. We have received many compliments on the food and staff. The manager Valerie particularly needs to be mentioned as she made the entire experience excellent and constantly checked in throughout the night even making my wife a plate of food as she was busy greeting family members and friends. Looking forward to dining here for years to come.
