Overview
A Brisbane market favourite since 2015, Le Fromage Yard has made the jump to a bricks-and-mortar shop, opening its first permanent base on Wynnum Road in Morningside.
That means that dairy lovers can pick up more cheese more often, thanks to a real-world version of its popular online cheese room. Or, you can combine the two — ordering your favourite truffle brie or whisky cheddar from the website, and then collecting it in person.
Cheese is the main attraction, obviously, but Le Fromage Yard is also expanding its remit. It already has its central ingredient covered, and custom-made cheese towers, too — however, every gooey slice of camembert and crisp sliver of pecorino needs something go with it. That means meats, pâté, terrine, olives, sweet garlic, crackers, pastes and honey, with the Morningside location designed as a one-stop destination for all things cheesy and all its accompaniments.
That said, if you're after breads and baked goods to go with your feast, owners Stephanie Stevenson and Pierre Lantourne recommend heading a few stores down to much-loved Morningside mainstay Flour & Chocolate.
If picking up the gouda stuff is a firm part of your market-going routine, don't worry — Le Fromage Yard will still continue to pop up at markets as well. Find its stall at regular berths in Queen Street, Brisbane Powerhouse, Kevin Grove, Mitchelton and Manly.
Le Fromage Yard is now open at 7/611 Wynnum Road, Morningside. It's open from 9.30am–5.30pm Tuesday and Wednesday, 9am–6pm Thursday and Friday, and 7am–2pm Saturdays.
