Welcome to
les amis du FROMAGE
les amis du FROMAGE is Vancouver's busiest and best cheese shop. Not only have the readers of The Georgia Straight voted les amis Vancouver's Best Cheese Shop, les amis du FROMAGE has also been a recipient of Vancouver Magazine's restaurant award for Top Food Supplier to Vancouver's finest restaurants.
The mother and daughter team of Alice & Allison
Spurrell stock the larders of the city's finest restaurants and your
fridge alike. They fill their shelves with hundreds of cheeses
including local, unpasteurized (Lait Cru) French, English, Italian,
Spanish, Swiss and other specialties from around the world.
The store regularly stocks between 400-500 cheeses for sale to both
trade and consumers. Of those cheeses, at
least 150 are from Canada, with a focus on British Columbia and
Quebec.
In addition to cheese, we also import many other specialty foods including:
-
Top quality blended and single varietal extra virgin olive oils
-
Specialty vinegars
-
Cheese accompaniments
-
Crackers and biscuits
-
House made and imported charcuterie
-
Cheese equipment including Girolles, cheese knives, cheese boards, raclette machines and fondue pots
Our East Vancouver store is home to the production kitchen. This is where our chefs prepare our popular line of frozen ready to heat soups and entrees that can be purchased at all les amis du FROMAGE locations.
We look forward to serving you.
We
have lots of new cheese accessories for the cheese lover on your
holiday shopping list. Too many to list here. The best
selection is to be found at our Hastings location.
