Listen guys, if you are planning to hold any date night for that special someone... and cheese is…read moreone of those items that may seal the deal for you to get a kiss, or anything more (maybe)... you may have the wine, you may have the meat, you may even have the music... but a bad paired cheese will be all that is remembered from your night of careful planning, don't screw up... and the best place to knock down this last piece is here. On this gloomy Saturday I needed a cheese.... not just any cheese, one where someone who was suffering from a mild cold could taste (when you can't smell, you can't really taste!) and enjoy, hence I asked the question, soft of firm.... usually more potent cheese's would be soft... and she picked firm, well go to the guys who know cheese to seal the deal! I came here after the gym, dressed in my gear and once I arrived at the counter I was greeted by, "how can I help!" And I gave him the scenario. With one little thought, and a lightbulb that visually went off in his head he reached for one of the many great cheeses they have here. Challerhocker is what he brought to me, and provided a little sample to see if it was to my tastebuds liking. The cheese, as described on the little sheet, is creamy and has notes of caramel and nuts with a smooth finish... from reading this I would not have chosen this.... but then it entered my mouth, pure bliss indeed, wallet out... take my money! Forget about the fact that I had to impress someone's sick tastebuds, this cheese that the guy picked out was perfect.. let alone I had a sliver of it, and happily I couldn't wait to get home to feed my guest. By the end of the night when my sick lady finally had a bite of the cheese I saw that 'eyes roll back to the head' look.. and just solidified the fact this place is definitely knowledgeable on what they know = CHEESE. If the only "oh's and ah's" you're going to get on this night is from her tastebud's going crazy from the treat you bought... think of it as a victory.. I won't tell you anymore where this is going, but forego the candles and satisfy the tastebuds first... she will be impressed! They don't have a ton of cheese, but what they have is a great assortment that will impress if you need impressing... if you just like to throw money.. well they can accomodate that too! Have fun buying!

Someone had meat duty, another had alcohol duty and so on... Lucky me, I was in charge of cheese! And am I glad I went to Les Amis Du Fromage! There were so many variety of cheeses in there that I just stood in awe for about 5 minutes. The woman behind the counter noticed me and was extremely helpful. I told her we were very adventurous and wanted to try lots of unique cheeses. She spent a good 20 minutes with me helping me decided on my list which ended up with: Applewood smoked cheddar (needed the basics), honey goat gouda, gorgonzola (blue cheese), morbier-livradoise (blue cheese mixed with a lighter creamier taste), bleu de sassenage (more blue!), quarto (60% cow's milk and 40% buffalo milk), white Stilton apple and pear and espresso cheese. They even let you try a few cheeses just to make sure you will like it before buying. All the cheeses were AH-MAZING! There are also a lot of crackers, pre-packaged soups, sausages, appetizers so I think I will try something else next time. With a few cheeses on the side as well.

Very cute mom and pop place The servers were fast and knew what they were doing. They had servers just for grating cheese and pepper and taking away plates and others just for taking your order Carpaccio (21) - we enjoyed the carpaccio. Not overly done with cheese or greens. Not too chewy either Prawns appetizer (22) - cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Could do with a little more vegetable Linguine vongole (26) - tasted like the sea. Noodles could have been less cooked but then again it depends on your audience. The clams tasted fresh and were sweet. Seafood pasta of the day (26)- had squid in it. Also tasted like the sea (in a good way). Pasta was the same as the one above except the toppings were different Arugula pizza (24) and Primavera pizza (24) - the pizza dough is obviously the same on both but both were delicious. Well cooked and chewy. The toppings were different. I preferred the meat one more just because I love proscuitto. Well balanced. Would recommend the pizza over the pasta Tiramisu (12.50) - pretty standard. Not overly sweet. Generous portion for the price. Wouldn't order it again Overall I thought the food was not bad and the service was pretty good. The seafood pasta flavours were something you can't make at home. The pizza was also good.

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.
