Quality, great taste and a passion to sell only the absolute best produce define this place. Julien…read moreHazard, a young energetic owner, handpicks his cheese once a week at the Rungis wholesale market near Paris. He learned his trade at another famous address and has since become a household name in the business, establishing the best cheese store in Brussels. His specialty? Ripening cheese, and turning it into an amazing end product. From the old to the young, all kinds of cheeses are available to you to choose from. They also do quiche, terrine, croquette and have a good selection of charcuterie. But lets be honest, you are here for the cheese. If you want the high end stuff then they can provide it. A must for Christmas, New Year or any other festive occasion.

I would like to add my review in English to this gem of a shop…read more It is located in an ordinary quarter of Brussels but sells the best cheese in the city. The owner is very knowledgeable and always willing to make honest suggestions. My own favourite is a two year ld Gouda that is beyond compare. Can't be missed by Bruxellois or visitors alike

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.

Three years later it is still good but not what we had been preparing for from our prior visits…read more Think this was our 6th trip to Brussels (first in 2011) and always made Catherine's our first stop. We arrived and there were a few younger workers and they were pleasant. We started to order our sandwich and asked about a little of rocket to go on it. And they said they had none. Then we asked about some roasted red peppers and they said they did not provide them either. Then they went to the back and put the sandwich together. Everything had been pre sliced and just waiting in the back to be put together. Guess we were spoiled. In the past we have always watched the sandwich being patiently made right in front of us. Not this time. We took our sandwich and were a bit surprised at the slices of of cheese...some thick and some average. Not the thin cheese were were used to. The ham had much more fat in it than normal. It was just different. Somewhat dry...the roasted peppers could have solved that issue. Sadly, we don't know if we will return. We normally make numerous stops(at lease 3) when in Brussels and this time once was enough. Hopefully next year it will be back to normal. The guys were friendly just lacking...

I love, love, love! This place! Originally I found it after…read morea bar hop / pub crawl with my little sister. She was in the need for food after a few beers. 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!!

This is an amazing little cheese shop that I spend way too much time in. The cheeses are fresh and…read moreflavorful, and there's a huge selection. 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!
