Le Grand Fromage

Such great friendly helpful staff. I wasn’t even buying cheese, but wanting to make my own, and the staff member was helpful and curious and had great advice. This is the kind of service that turns people into lifetime customers. Keep up the good work!

Great customer service and top quality products. The lady that served us was very knowledgeable and offered samples to ensure we loved what we left with! Picked out 5 different cheeses, some local crackers, fig jam and a can of glacian oysters. All did not disappoint! As a local I will be back again and be sure to recommend to visitors!

High-end food boutique in Nelson. Large selection of local and international cheeses, along with complimentary food products and kitchen wares. Located downtown, just off Baker street.

Worth the stop.

What a selection! Friendly staff, and patient. Absolutely worthwhile. Stop in and you will not regret it.

Went in to purchase a few items for a Christmas gift exchange and the lady with black hair gave me her full attention to help me choose/ taste cheeses… great service and very nice cheeses! I will be back:)

I could die happily in this store. The staff is always super friendly, and good at making suggestions without being pushy. Even if I didn't LOVE cheese, I would still love Le Grande Fromage, and if you go to Nelson and don't visit, you are totally missing out.

Amazing place, great service! So helpful she gives you little samples of so many great cheeses to help decide what to get! Love it here:)

Very rude woman who didn’t want my 11 year old to look at the books she had for sale.

Not so bad on its own, but limited/average cheese and overpricing make this a bad shop and a place to be avoided.

Amazing service and quality products well worth the price. This place is a must see for any meat, cheese, and jam connoisseur.

A great shop! A lot of variety. We came in asking for a recommendation for our wine and she led us to several delicious options. We ended up with an amazing cave aged swiss gruyere that paired so well with our wine! My fiance said it was "some of the best cheese I've ever ate"

This place has a really nice selection of cheese including local cheese. The prices are pretty reasonable and the lady who helped me choose my cheese was nice and knowledgeable. My favorite part was the fact that it didn't have that sometimes off-putting smell of a cheese shop, I didn't notice any strong smells.

It's a good little cheese shop, though it's location is a bit of a drawback being tucked out of the way almost in an industrial section of town.
It has a great selection of speciality fondue equipment and hardware along with items associated with cheese like pizza pans, flour etc.

You ca also find a decent selection of cast iron cookware from Dutch ovens complete with campfire stands to pizza pans.

The cheese selection itself almost seems an afterthought compared to the rest of the store and displayed in glass cases somewhat jammed in.

You need to be well versed in conversion because everything is sold in 100g increments so it can be difficult for those on a budget or if your metric impaired.

The store also stocks all manner of other sundries speciality jams jellies spreads and oils that are often associated with cheese.

Overall a good shop albeit a little pretentious and brings to mind the gourmet store off the popular sitcom "Fraiser" and you half expect to see the crane brothers standing at the till.

While for the most part you can buy most of the cheeses at the local supermarkets pre wrapped labeled and priced there is a large portion of very special cheeses you won't find elsewhere locally like ones made with Guinness stout or those aged for decades in caves.

This shop is mostly for those who have a greater knowledge and desire for speciality cheeses and things that accompany them not so much for those walking in off the street. (Imo)
