Visiting Catherine's was a bucket list experience that I'm glad I was able to do. The best part was…read moreCatherine herself making our sandwiches! We were able to make selections from over 100 different cheeses as well as a variety of cured meats. The sandwich rivals my other fave from Alain Alain in Paris. It's a small but charming and quintessential Belgian shop. Traditional in every sense of the word. Simply put, it's a cheese lover's paradise. Catherine is extremely kind and patient as are her employees. They offer the ability to taste samples before making decisions. They're very helpful with making said decisions as well. A haven for like minded cheesemongers means the line can sometimes go out the door, especially at lunchtime. It is well worth the wait because so much love and care goes into every transaction with every customer. A most divine experience indeed.

Was so looking forward to our return trip to Brussels and visiting Catherine's. Over our week long stay we managed 3 visits to pick up cheese, freshly sliced deli meat, bead and made to order sandwiches. The cheeses that we selected were so very fresh and the selection to choose from was amazing. Of course my favorite was the truffle. We picked up sandwiches on two occasions and they were basically the same. The second one Catherine added a new little taste with the addition of three small roasted peppers. We had forgotten to ask for arugula and Catherine asked if we wanted it on this one...what a memory. Catherine's is a small place and always very busy. Quality shines throughout. The customers are almost all locals...another great sign. We noticed that when there were about three people inside that the patrons formed a line out of the door. Think out of respect for Catherine. Wish we had had a quality shop like Catherine's in metro Atlanta. We would drive to experience this and here in the hustle and bustle of Brussels there is a gem. Highly recommend. Prices are extremely reasonable. Can't wait to return...sooner than later. Thanks Catherine.

Ah cheese... so delicious…read more On the suggestion of our guidebook, my husband and I stopped here on a sightseeing walk of Brussels to grab lunch. We opted to go with a few slices of cheese and a baguette, and it was so delicious. There is an overwhelming selection of cheese, and we really had no idea where to start selecting cheese to buy. The woman behind the counter picked two cheeses for us, a cow's milk and a sheep's milk cheese. Both were great and we finished them while walking around Brussels. Our lunch was a little pricey, but totally worth it, along with experience of buying local cheese in a lovely setting.

We had grabbed a baguette from Charli and he even let us borrow a knife to cut and spread our cheese while we sat out in the square. We went back again later in the week to try their sandwiches (the sell out so get there early in the lunch hours) and they were great as well. They take credit card so no concerns there either.

The cheese offerings are very well and we were happy to come for the brunch amd will come back. They are happy to welcome kids, a great plus, they have high chair, toys and smiles for them. I dont give 5 stars for two things: I feel hot drinks should be included in the formule (at 25€) and it was a little cold in the place... It is true it is very cold these days in Brussels, but it should be solved. But, will go back happily!

This was the first food place that we literally stumbled upon. (Yes it was before 5pm, but we are enlist ok?:)) She decided upon a cheese & pear pastry that was shown in the window. If you've ever had the misfortune of seeing your little sister have a culinary orgasm, then you're brave enough to enter this store. The pastries are sooo good! The sweet cheese with rum soaked raisins... it's pornographic! Did I say I love this place? It's porn for your tastebuds. But the kind of porn that your willing to share with your loved ones. Bad metaphor? It's the one that fits!!

Even if you're not a connoisseur, you will be able to taste the difference between the cheese they sell at La Cremerie and whatever garbage you bought at Carrefour. The people working there are very nice and helpful, even if my cheese-related interrogative phrases in French are limited to, "How is this one?" and, "Is this strong or mild?" It's often a matter of trial and error to figure out which ones I'll like, but that's part of the fun. So far, my top go-to cheese is the fresh goat cheese stuffed with fig that they keep in the front window. Highly recommended!

If you're tempted to buy some of the better Spanish hams from your local supermarket, I'd recommend…read moreyou rather take time to go over to Chaussée de Louvain and indulge in some exquisite imports available in this Spanish Mediteraean food store. Iberic & serrano hams, lomos, chorizo and salchichones sausages are all available along with many other cuts of meat. I've tried a bunch of products and can't say I've ever been disappointed. Sure, if we were in Spain you'd choke at the price, but considering what is available to the Brussels crowd this is as good as it gets. They also have an array of general products (Spanish cheeses, breads, biscuits, cakes, sauces and more), including some freshly made food that you can take out. Their large selection of wines is equally good. What really tops the lot is the catering service. They prep a platter of ham and cheese, vacuum seal it and you are all set to share this treat with friends. They'll do paella, tortilla and lots more too. Did I mention that they can even do delivery?
