We came for the Parisian Christmas pop-up experience and we were not disappointed!
This lovely little neighborhood spot has definitely blown up. Details on how to get in below but I want to prioritize our wonderful experience! The charcuterie board was exquisite and so much was made in house including the goat cheese and fig spread, marinated olives, and spiced cranberry jam. Our cocktails were divine! Each one expertly crafted and delicious. The service was absolutely fantastic; friendly, informative, and so much fun! We will absolutely be looking forward to trying to join their silent book club nights in the future

The details on getting in: We tried to go at 5:30 on a Wednesday and had a 45 minute wait we weren’t prepared for. We went back on a Thursday at 4:30 and had an hour wait but decided to stick it out. For context, they open at 4 and there is a 90 minute table limit so seatings are roughly every 90 minutes. The owner came out several times to speak to groups about the wait and was very gracious. If you do choose to wait, it will likely be outdoors. A few people can stand right inside the door but not many.

We wanted to remember our honeymoon in Paris. This place DE-livered! The staff was Amazing, the selection Amazing, the cheese board Amazing. I cannot say how enough. It’s small, but worth the experience and short wait. I cannot wait to revisit and enjoy all future offerings. Thank you to Amazing staff that made our date night that much more amazing!

Charles E. Fromage is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine and some snacks during the chilly Milwaukee winters, or take a break from the heat and sip on a refreshing spritz on their rooftop patio. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, they feel like family.

Kinda disappointed with this place. My husband and I came on our anniversary, but we sadly didn’t even get to sit down and try anything. We showed up only 15 minutes after opening and the place was absolutely slammed. They said we’d have to wait for an hour and that they would run out of food by the time we got a table. Such a shame because it’s a very cute place, just super small. Please start a reservation system or maybe an online waitlist because this really bummed us out.

A perfect little spot for a delicious beverage and conversation. I very much enjoyed the Plumpy Black and my friend had her favorite – the Last Word. Lovely atmosphere and sweet bartender.

Great place to go for a drink and conversation. Fun cozy romantic atmosphere. Local craft beers on tap and wine. Owners are very warm and friendly. They also serve light appetizers. A small gem in this neighborhood! We will definitely be back!
