L'Echoppe des Fromages earns praise for generous cheese boards and a warm, convivial vibe. Weekend brunches are a highlight, with a menu that stands out and high-quality products paired with attentive service. The on-site shop invites guests to stock up on cheeses and other items, with the owner described as friendly and passionate and happy to share recommendations for new discoveries. The selection extends beyond cheese to include patisseries, yogurts, and other artisanal products, including local and seasonal treats such as salt and figs in winter, reflecting a strong commitment to Quebec producers. In the dining room, a short wait is often noted but the presentation and quality of dishes are consistently praised, especially the shareable boards; some visitors even call the cheese towers exceptional, with praise for the accompanying butter and overall value. This is a destination that many would love to frequent daily for coffee, a bite, or a meal, with a sense of pride in local production and craft.
Visiting from Hamilton, Ontario. We showed up here just looking for cheese & wine. Wow did it deliver. I think Max bent over a bit backwards for us to give us an amazing experience.
We didn't know the restaurant closed at 3 & had no real idea of how it worked or what we wanted.
What we got was the best CHEESE TOWER, we have ever had. Prices were reasonable too. We picked up some goods to go too, that butter is amazing.
We had brunch in the restaurant attached to their cheese shop. Very good service & very good healthy food. They can accommodate a reservation of 9 people & come up with a vegan dish for our vegan friend. Very satisfying experience.

Amazing cheese. The staff are friendly, patient & kind. I always come in & try a new cheese every few weeks. Never disappoints. Good people. Good place.
I was here a couple months ago with a friend of mine who suggested this place. I had the omelette & the taste just blew my mind. The cheese inside they used was with the right amount of crunchiness. Then the ham was soft & tasty but not too salty. Yesterday, I was there with my family where I had the Truck Driver brunch. Again, the taste was nothing but excellence. Cheese, eggs, the little hamburger steak, even the potatoes were nothing short of delicious surprises. I think I'll be there a few more times this year during the summer. It's a bit far for me since I'm living on the north shore.
Excellent variety of cheeses & charcuterie in the city. suoer I recommend the Pickles & also the yogurts. They have a sheep's milk cheese that is just perfect
So much potential !!! Lovely atmosphere, perfect for a fast lunch. Excellent music , & the waitress looks like a young Lacey Lohan. But the latte is way too small , & just below average. The grilled cheese was soggy & wet on the bottom & hard & dry on top. My wife sandwich was made whit at lest a day old baguette, she ended up eating just the jam & the cheese & left the bread on the plate. When the waitress came we told her about it , but she just said "ok" like there was nothing she could do, not even give us a "I'm sorry to head that " or "can I replace it" , but no , just a "ok" & the salad had no dressing, or salt. Just a ton of oil !! UPDATE!!!! I just went back with my daughter, my plate was really good, the one whit blue cheese & pears . My daughter soup was bland, we added salt & pepper but still.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this professional fine cheese establishment, & it was truly an unforgettable experience. The fact that even Meghan Markle & Prince Harry ordered their wedding cheese here speaks volumes about the quality.
The selection of cheeses is mind-blowing; they have an impressive variety to choose from. What made our visit exceptional was the incredibly knowledgeable & friendly waiter. He took the time to guide us through the cheese offerings, sharing his favorites & the popular choices. This personal touch added so much to our visit.
The accessibility was excellent, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance & convenient street parking. The seating was simple but comfortable, which allowed us to focus on the cheese.
If you're a cheese enthusiast or just looking for a unique culinary experience, this place is a must-visit. I can't wait to return & explore more of their cheese offerings. Highly recommended! 🧀🍷👌

Dimanche dernier, j'ai mangé a ce resto avec des amis. Un d'entre nous a pris le plateau de fromages de 100 grammes. Au moment d'acquitter la note, j'ai fait remarquer a la serveuse que le prix chargé pour le plateau de fromage était supérieur a ce qu'affichait le menu. Elle a dit que la facture était exacte. J'ai quand meme vérifié sur le menu apres avoir payé & on nous avait chargé plus de 6,00$ de trop. Nous avons mentionné l'erreur au serveur mais, comme nous avions déja payé, il a dit qu'il ne savait pas comment faire un remboursement & qu'il était occupé. Donc, quand vous allez a cet endroit, vérifier bien votre facture avant de payer. De plus, le grilled cheese dégoulinait de fromage tres gras sur du pain humide. Pas fort. Je ne retournerai pas a cet endroit.
