Profile

If cheese is a religion, this is its bustling, Balthazar-gone-midtown house of worship. After an olfactory assault at the door, where you're hit with the pungent aroma of Muenster, Taleggio, and 200 other varieties aging gracefully in the boutique cheese cave, indulge in full-fromage festivities from appetizer (gougères) to dessert (a splendid tarte Tatin with a cheddar cheese crust). If you manage to resist four different fondues, there's a full menu of bistro classics like boudin blanc. If not, feed your Appenzeller addiction at the retail cheese counter, which also carries crusty loaves of Amy's Bakery and Balthazar Bakery bread. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

I grew up in the parts of Switzerland next to Haute Savoie, France. A few hundred cheeses made in the close vicinity. From this perspective, Artisanal is a bust. The fondue ("traditional Swiss fondue") is worse than the cheapest fondue you...Read More
