LADF has always satisfied our Swiss house hold, supplying cheeses from all around the world! I've come by and found some unique cheeses that I truly don't believe you can find other than at a speciality cheese store. There is always a line up here (even pre-COVID). They know their stuff when it comes to the taste of each cheese and recommendations. You can find everything for the perfect charcuterie board, including meats, jams, napkins, etc. too!

This is it, this is the only cheese spot you need to know about in Vancouver because IT IS LEGIT!…read moreWe have been enjoying the cheese at Les Amis for over five years now and they've never disappointed! During covid my partner and I have gotten into something we call Cheese O Clock every second Friday where we go to Les Amis and pick three different cheeses to try for the weekend. We pair the cheeses with some good wine and add chorizo or smoked salmon and it's quite a delight! Something that's certainly been a highlight during our stays at home during these times. The service is spectacular and they all know so much about cheese I love how if a cheese I like is out of stock they'll recommend one that's equally as great to me! It's so awesome when staff now what they're selling! We go every second weekend so obviously imma gonna give them a five star! If you're in the mood for fondue, this is your go to as well! They make incredible cheese mixes that you can mix with wine and heat on your stove! If you're in the mood for olives too, look no further! Les Amis has got it all!

They carry nearly every kind of cheese that you could imagine, and at great prices. The service is always top-notch. My only unfavourable comment would be the smell... but then, it is a cheese store!

Benton…read moreBrothers Fine Cheese Shop has impressed me every time I've been there and I think I'm in danger of becoming an addict or at the very least spending a good chunk of change every visit. On my last visit, I actually went to both locations. I started out at the one on West 41st and picked up three cheeses. Heck, I was in the neighbourhood, why not? I thought I would have some nice blue cheese with crackers & bread for dinner - or a snack, depending on how good I could be at saving some of it for another day. Then, on my way home, I passed by the Cambie store and decided to stop and get some charcuterie to go with my cheese. Kind of a mistake (according my wallet, not my appetite!) I ended up getting some more cheese, as well. The selection is really very good but the staff's knowledge of cheese (and everything else in the shop!) is what really blows me away. You can tell them what type of wine or beer you've got and they will recommend some excellent cheeses to make the perfect accompaniment. They really know their stuff! Not only that, but you can try a few different kinds to make sure you really like what you're going to buy. I walked out of the shop after spending just over $75 at both locations. I had a selection of blue cheese, goat cheese, some soft, some firm & crumbly, some sharp, some mild... plus some wild boar & rosemary sausage, some hot soprasetto... and some olives. So, I called up my girlfriend to come over for a wine & cheese "tasting" so I wouldn't scarf it all in one sitting. We were in cheese heaven! Can't wait for my next visit to try some new varieties.

After perusing the Benton Brothers website, I am now fantasizing about ordering a small cheese tray from their catering menu just for me and my wife.

Naturally, Having…read moregrown up in Switzerland trying to find true cheese I was always let down in this nonetheless quaint city. Until now. If you value cheese, if you enjoy cheese of any kind and most importantly if you know cheese.....you will travel to get to this place. Why? Because Graydon's Cheese Cellar in West Vancouver offers not only real cheese, but highest quality cheese. The Stilton Colston Bassett takes you to another dimension. While it's melting in your mouth, it gets you ready, and once the Ivory-blue veins perfectly proportionate arrive delicately bold onto your palate, now you're off the ground. Incredible! The Parmigiano Reggiano 48 months. This is a cheese every tomato based pasta needs, and you can crumble it and enjoy on its own with a Bold Structured Wine as a wind down to a tired day, or any day. The staff are not only friendly but incredibly helpful, and its right on the water on Bellevue Ave. You're Welcome.

I was with my mom and we were headed somewhere else for lunch but stumbled across Graydon's Cheese…read moreCellar along the way and made a spontaneous decision to have lunch at Graydon's instead! As the name suggests, this is a specialty cheese store. They sell many varieties of specialty cheeses along with various tools and accompaniments for eating and serving cheese. Think crackers, cheese boards, cheese knives, different flavors of spreads...etc. They also serve food and beverages here. The menu is limited but it was enough for us to decide to dine here instead of our original destination. There are two tables inside plus counter seating by the window, and several patio tables on the sidewalk outside. Being right along Bellevue Ave. in West Vancouver, there a stunning view from this place. The store itself is clean, bright, stylish and well maintained. I was really loving the vibes this place gave off! Both my mom and I had The Bellevue grilled cheese sandwich and we shared a 2 for $8.00 Vegetarian Antipasto Skewer. We also ordered a Cherry Kombucha and some kind of Raspberry flavored soda that our server told us was from the UK. The Antipasto skewer came with a gherkin and the grilled cheese sandwich came with a pickle. I've never been a pickle person. I usually pick out the pickles anytime I get a burger that has pickle in it. I decided to give the gherkin and pickle a try this time. The verdict? Still not a pickle person. It was my least favorite part of the meal, but it was also somehow a lot more tolerable than the pickles that I find inside burgers. Gherkins and pickles aside, I loved the food here. The Grilled cheese sandwich had ooey gooey cheese spilling out of the centre and forming a pool of melted cheese on the plate. Been awhile since I've ordered a Grilled cheese sandwich since it's something I could easily make at home but...I don't use fancy cheeses when I make it. This one was a real treat. The ambiance here is so relaxing. Being able to look through the window and see the beach, the ocean, the skies, and cruise ships passing by...this place is an absolute gem. It's the most exquisite specialty cheese shop I've ever been to. There was a sign on the sidewalk that said all "May is for Manchego". Apparently they are having 10% off all Manchego cheeses for the month of May. I bought a small wedge of Red Leicester cheese to bring home but now I'm thinking I should have also bought some Manchego cheese to bring home as well. Hmmm...there are still a few days left in the month of May. Maybe I'll make another trip to this store next week! There are so many cool cheeses at this store. Sriracha Gouda was one of the cheeses that caught my eye. The lady at the counter offered to let me try some! The spice took a few seconds to kick in but then I really felt it. Highly recommend this place if you're a cheese lover!

Second thing to know, the cheese isn't on display. You have to come in knowing what you want or being open to being recommended to without getting to see the cheese. To compensate, The Cheese Man is pretty generous with the samples. Typical Cheese Place exchange: "What can I get for you?" "How about some goat cheese? Can I try a sample of what you've got?" The Cheese Man reemerges from the back fridge with a giant tube of goat cheese and offers you a sample. "Mmmmm. That's good. How about $5 worth?" Third: Cash only if your purchase is under $10. This is probably a front for something else, but the cheese is good and the prices are decent so I don't care.
