Melbourne❜s Best Cheesy Treats

  • All Ages

Ooey, gooey, salty, smooth, rich, unctuous... cheesy treats are just so pleasing! Nothing beats a glass of something and a wedge of cheese to accompany, or a hot toasty treat for lunch on a cold day, and Melbourne serves up some of the best cheese treats around. We've done the hard work of finding them, it's up to you to eat them! 

(ps if you're looking for the city's best spots for a wine-and-cheese combo, well we've hooked you up here!)

Indulge in the Bert & Ernie (Roast Beef, Caramelised Onions, Spinach & House Blend Cheese), the Lenny & Carl (Macaroni, Béchamel & House Blend Cheese), the Italian-themed Mario & Luigi (Pesto, Roma & House Blend Cheese), or even the Winnie & Tigger dessert toastie filled with Nutella, House Blend Cheese & Icing Sprinkle.

Yes, thankfully, there is a raclette and grilled cheese cart in this world, and it's right here at Prahran Market. Thank you Maker & Monger!

You've seen the videos all over the internet of someone scraping a melty wheel of raclette onto burgers, bread, crackers and just about anything else you could use as a melted cheese vehicle, and now you can experience it for yourself.

They say "Let cheese ignite your senses," and when you head to their antique French food cart in the food hall you can do exactly that with their Swiss raclette over heritage potatoes & shiitake mushrooms, or perhaps their outrageous Flaming Reuben with Cape Grim Brisket.

Cheese dreams await!
