The French Quarter

Born from a nostalgia for a traditional style of independent business

Founders Cédric & Catherine Boc-Ho opened The French Quarter in 2017 with the aim to take the fuss out of French dining, whilst offering an alternative to the chain dominated high streets.

Originally from the Loire Valley in France, Cédric's curiosity about wine began as a young boy, when games of hide & seek turned into long afternoons spent crouched between bottles of Chateauneuf du Pape in his grandfather's wine cellar. Cédric explored this curiousity throughout his 12 years working in hospitality and whilst studying to obtain his MBA in hospitality management & WSET awards in wines & spirits.

Catherine, originally from Northumberland, met Cédric in the French Alps in 2011 and the two soon realised their shared love of the good things in life. After 6 years of exploring France & the huge array of regional products available, peeling labels of every extra special bottle of wine & photographing every unique French dish eaten, their dream to share these top-quality products became reality with The French Quarter.
