Good Friends, Great Dining and All That Wonderful Cheese

Welcome to les amis du FROMAGE

store interiorles 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, local and imported charcuterie and cheese equipment including girolles, cheese knives, cheese boards, raclette machines and fondue pots.
Our East Vancouver store is home to our productions kitchen where our chefs prepare our popular line of frozen ready to heat soups and entrees. These can be purchased at all les amis du FROMAGE stores.
We look forward to serving you.
