Couldne recommend it highly enough

Felt like a little touch of France close to home
This place was recommended for us to try and we were definitely pleased we listened. Although small inside, and a little noisy on the Saturday softer noon, the service and ambience of the place was great. The selection can be a little overwhelming if you do t know a lot about Cheese but the staff are there to help. We selected a 4 cheese board after discussing our tastes with our waiter and every cheese was delicious. With a nice glass of wine and endless bread and crackers to enjoy with your cheese, it’s certainly a wonderful experience. Bookings under 6 people is not possible so we had to wait an hour for a table at 3pm on a Saturday Afternoon. Easy to find a nice coffee nearby to fill in the time.

A well-known wine bar in Carlton. Very suspicious and love the decorations inside -great ambience. Definitely worth checking this place out if you love wine&cheese :) Grabbed Wine Flight. I don't know much about wine nor cheese but this place just nailed it. 4 different wines paired up with 4 different cheese.. absolutely delicious! Staff were VERY knowledgeable and knew their menu inside out which was very impressive! Must visit if you are into wine & cheese
If you’re looking for good cheese and good wine, this is the place. We love that both the cheese and wine are equally as thought out, and wait staff have exceptional knowledge in both.
The flights are a fantastic option and great value.
We also tried a wine from the last chance wine section, cocktails, cheeses on order, and blue cheese gelato, and all were amazing.
Fantastic atmosphere, highly recommend!
We came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It was busy we had to wait over an hour for a table. Worth the wait though. The wine and cheese flight was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable
Finally managed to check this place out. Called in one afternoon with some friends before our dinner reservation. We tried various cheese flights. Great variety of cheese matches. Definitely have this place on a repeat visit list, and want to try a meal here
We had the deep friend camembert and the mac n cheese - both were delicious and would highly recommend! Staff were very friendly (although it took a while to get their attention at first).
Fantastic place for some nice drink and cheese, love their deep fried camembert, it was sooo good, and their all type of different parings of cheese and wine, sake whisky flight...etc.
We loved 😍
The variety of cheese and wines here is amazing!
The fondue and baked Camembert were delicious. They serve complimentary breads to go with the cheese. Their cured meats and quince were deliciously.
They do wine and cheese pairings also!
Great place for a date night or a girls night out! 🥂
Cheese lovers rejoice - there is a restaurant (well, there’s actually two of them) that has a menu completely focused on cheese - that’s right - cheeeese! I’m talking soft cheese, hard cheese, blue cheese, baked cheese and even fondue. Milk the Cow is no stranger to Melbourne’s food scene - with both their St Kilda and Carlton venues having been around for awhile. But even so, on walking through their doors, Milk the Cow’s atmosphere still has that incredible buzzy vibe to it that you’d usually only find in Melbourne’s latest hippest restaurant that has just made a cameo on Broadsheet.
If you are a cheese lover, this place would be great to catch up with friends or guests in town. They’ve got quite a few cheese selections. My favourite one is the one with the coffee infused. You could also paired your cheeses with wine, sake, whisky, beer, cider etc.
Smelly socks... anytime...
What could be a better place to spend your afternoon, especially Winter times... even if it's smell like your badly odoured socks.
Plenty to choose from or confused you with the myriad of cheese on displayed... the easiest thing to do is just to get one of the guys/waiter to explain what's on offer... go with one of the Cheese flights, can't go wrong, just don't drink and drive. JT-May 2019.
Milk the Cow had an amazing variety of cheeses and wines. We ordered the 4 cheese cheeseboard which was customisable to our liking with the help of a friendly, knowledgeable staff member. The dim lit, wooden themed fromagerie was cosy (loved the swing too!) despite being so packed inside. The service was a bit slow - could be due to how busy they were, but overall it was such a great experience!
If you love cheese like I do then this place is the best. Wish I hadn't eaten before because I'd try order everything, it's incredible, friendly and well informed staff and great range of options for the cheese. Really nice atmosphere with limited wine menu. I know I will be returning to order more off the menu, the baked camembert is delicious.
Love love both venues but always get drawn to the lygon street more so but both equally good. So much variety of cheeses and the wines to match are great. Awesome staff!
Nice wine bar and def recommended. Wine selection was good, just not a big fan of the rosé and in a tasting mix. Cheese selection also tasty and mixed! Only comment would be that Gruyère is pretty average to put on a board in my opinion. Still very good tasting overall though :)
Seen reviews about the service, but they were really nice and quick with us, we sit outside because they were fully booked inside, but they quickly set the table and brought a heater. The tasting have good value. Good place to go for a date.
Exceptionally fun and lovely place. Staffing levels are low at the moment (Afternoon visit, Saturday, May 22), so sit inside if you want reliable service.
Food and wine pairings were excellent, but did take 40mins to reach us (we were outside), second drink order did get missed and it took an hour to find this out.
Saying that, I will definitely visit again, 1 busy service did not negate the overall impression.
We ordered a degustation for one menu each. The meal started of with a sparkling flight. 3 cheese paired with sparkling wines. Starting of with a light cheese to a stronger bitey cheese.
The meal then proceeded to a fondue. Mixture of 4 cheeses. Presentation is pretty and is evidenced by the pictures accompanying. This is paired with a white wine.
Next up is a baked brie. Melting brie paired with fresh fruit and honey. It is very creamy and decadent. By this time, the both of us were really stuffed with cheese.
The degustation ends with an espresso Martini and cheddar with the rind soaked in espresso.
By the end of the night our belly was full of cheese and also filled with alcohol. The degustation for one can easily feed two person in my honest opinion.
Got the 5 cheese board, all of the cheese were delicious, waiters were very friendly! And they have a wide range of wines we got the sparkling wine was good, will be back soon for sure!
