Cheese plate at Boulangerie Patisserie?

[princesswendy720]

Does anyone know what cheeses this comes with? I can't find a complete description of it anywhere. Does it come with bread? How was it?

TIA!

I am not the expert on this one but here goes:

I tried it 2 weeks ago, and it was awesome. One cheese was brie (for sure), another was munster (I think), and no idea about the third. A fresh bagette (sp) comes with it, and that was excellent all by itself.

If anyone knows all three cheeses, please let us know....

Thanks! I LOVE brie so that's good to know. And fresh baguette...I'm getting hungry thinking about it! It would be great to know what the other ones are, I'm a little picky about "smelly" cheeses haha!

If you are a cheese maven, you may find the plate a little...well...just okay. It is kept a little too cold in the fridge case. It's pretty standard brie. We also had Port Salut, which we enjoy at home, and is a lovely cheese, but again was kept a bit cold. I can't remember what the third cheese was for us.
It also came with some small bit of fruit, and I think we got a little roll with it

Here is a pic of it:

If you really enjoy cheese, and want a delicious plate, try inside at Chefs de France. Our cheese plate in there was just fantastic. We still get the little plate on the go sometimes (it wasn't *bad*, just not fab), but would choose to go in and sit down and get the better plate indoors when we can! We have gotten it in the late afternoon as a snack, which is a great way to do it. The restaurant is very slow at that time of day, we get to sit on the window and people watch and split a salad and a plate of cheese and some wine. Yummmm! The cheeses rotate regularly, so I couldn't tell you what is on it for sure.

I am going to try the artisnal cheese plate at Flying Fish this next trip. We like to try as many cheese plates as we can find in the World, and this one has missed our attention!
