The Story Behind Ma Chérie
Bringing the soul of Parisian café culture and intimate French wine bars to historic Abingdon Market Place.
A Hybrid Hospitality Experience
Launched by founder Suni Rasim in August 2024 at 15 Market Place, Ma Chérie was designed from day one to fill a unique niche in Abingdon's hospitality landscape.
“We wanted to create a place that wasn't just another generic coffee shop,” explains Suni. “Ma Chérie is about slow mornings with artisan French pastry and specialty coffee, transitions into relaxed sourdough lunches, and then transforms into a warm, candlelit wine bar at night.”
Authentic Ingredients
From truffle honey and French cheeses to artisan sourdough and organic free-range eggs, every dish is prepared with meticulous care.
Curated Wine Cellar
Our wine list focuses on independent French producers, offering crisp Loire whites, velvety Rhône reds, and regional rosés by the glass or bottle.
Warm Hospitality
Hospitality is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you stay for ten minutes or three hours, you are welcomed as family.
