They had so many cool bbq sauces, dressings, spices and pickles. I scored a jar of Putters pickles. They are amazing deli style pickles that are so hard to find in Ottawa stores. Of course I had to pick up cheese, and lots of it! They also had a intriguing selection of candy in the shop, but I got sucked into the candy surprise bags that were by the cash. They were $2.25 for a small bag, or $3.99 for a large bag. The small bags were stuffed with a small thing of jujubes and a lollipop. Total bust. Next up to the cafeteria, where the hubby and I shared a family size poutine with extra curds on top. The gravy is amazing and on point. Ended things with a scoop of Kawarthas ice cream. Totally missed the stairs to get up to the second floor to view the production area. I totally see myself coming back.

The last time we were there we couldn't even enter the store, you were asked to prepare your list and to give it to a staff member who would prepare it all for you. The staff are quick, friendly and are clearly taking this situation seriously and I can't tell you how much that means to us. The peace of mind of knowing that your groceries hadn't been sneezed on by a million panic shoppers was 100% worth the wait. Bonus: we were able to buy an enormous, restaurant sized bag of flour. Which is important, because all I crave is carbs now! Stay safe folks. oxo

This place offers a range of cheese as the name implies, along with some local Quebec products such…read moreas sauces, spices, beer, and snacks. They carry the St-Albert's line of cheeses, including fresh curds, bars of their mild to extra old cheddars and smoked gouda. I'm glad to find St-Albert's here without having to go to Ontario anymore, but was hoping to find a better selection of Quebec curd cheese as well. Fromagerie Mirabel has less selection compared to other specialty cheese stores I've found in the Montreal area, such as "Fromagerie des nations". To be honest, even some of the nicer IGA or Provigo supermarkets carry a wider selection of cheeses. Go if you want fresh St-Albert's cheese, otherwise this shop might be disappointing, especially if you drove out of the way to visit.

My husband and I love fondue and have had it everywhere from Switzerland to Melting Pot. We were…read morereally excited to try this place during our honeymoon. Unfortunately we were pretty disappointed. The price was very high for fondue but we were willing to give it a shot. But when the server brought out the fondue with a half inch of liquid on top and warned us we would have to stir the fondue a lot to keep it from splitting, we knew we were in trouble. I've never seen fondue split like that. There was an inch or so of runny milk on top and a gluey blob of cheese in the middle no matter how much we stirred. It was a shame because the flavor was pretty good but the texture gave me the ick. And the quality to price ratio was outrageous. We might consider trying them again for chocolate fondue but I wouldn't come back for cheese.

Nice small place. You have to make a reservation in advance as it gets very crowded. While it was a…read morefun experience, I would not recommend going unless you have a group that will order a little bit of everything. 2 of us ordered the cheese fondue with charcuterie, the other 4 has the fish and meat that you cook in the stock. The fondue personally was good but not satisfying enough for a dinner alone. I actually preferred dipping the cooked meat and seafood from the other side of the table. It's a fun experience but for the price I wouldn't come back again.

What a cute little shop! I came across this at the market,…read moreand it must've been a sign because I have been on the hunt for two particular cheeses. The store is not that big, but it made it cozier in a way. The layout is easy: spreads/jams in the front, then the cheese. Everything is labelled nicely, where you can see the country and the cheeses offered. Of course, the people who work there are knowledgeable about most cheeses. Keep in mind, because it's a small shop, the selection won't have everything in the world of cheese. That being said, I did find one of the French cheeses I was searching for and came across some that were a bonus to try. I ended up having an array of different countries in my basket. I'm talking Ireland (Dubliner), France (Camberet) and surprisingly Norway (Skiqueen). I would've left with more, but they either didn't stock the other particular cheeses or didn't carry them. I had to cut myself off because the pricing can rack up here. My only irk was that I wish they had more variety of spreads. I expected more variety.

The wafting smell of stinky cheese will draw you in from the market stalls to a small space packed with a great variety of cheeses from Canadian cheddars, Okas, wonderful Quebec cheeses, British specialties and of course the incomparable French varieties. The staff are crusty but knowledgeable and the if you ask, they will be able to recommend something suited to your palette and wine/meal pairing. My husband and I discovered a few great cheeses while on holiday in France which they stock. Mont D'or is a melty cheese that comes in a small wooden pot which you heat in the oven and dip your bread into. It is very much to die for but it's only available around xmas time and it's 3x the price here than it is in France! The other favourite of ours is from the Beaufort region. It's a hard cheese with a creamy/nutty taste- really nice as part of a cheese platter selection.

I like it in my sandwiches, crumbled on my salads, baked in my pasta dishes.. Heck! I like to cut myself a piece and "nom" it while I'm waiting for my dinner to cook. My favourite location for cheese shopping is the House of Cheese. Conveniently located in the Byward Market, it is easy to pop in during an afternoon of running errands. As you would expect of a House of Cheese, this store features all kinds of cheeses in various textures, flavours and varieties. They have cheeses from all over the world and a variety of local cheeses! An avid locovore, I am a huge fan of planning and shopping for my meal in the market and often return home with a fabulous cheese from The House of Cheese. Throughout the year, they also have various gift baskets available that would make great Christmas gifts, year end gifts for teachers or even house warming presents. The staff is very knowledgable and ready with recommendations as the various kinds of cheeses can be somewhat overwhelming. If you are looking to pair your cheese with something a little different, they also carry various spreads, crackers and jellies. It is a great place to pop in if you are hosting a party and looking for something a little more than the basic "cheese and cracker" plate.
