Our Day in Portland is coming to a close, we've decided to head to the restaurant to see if we can find parking on Burnside and possibly get a seat at the counter to watch the chefs cook. But our last stop is Cheese Bar on Belmont.
We decided to be authentic and just order the cheese boards. They are simple, no-fluff, straight about the cheese. I like that. They have awesome wines, microbrews and ciders available and the atmosphere is very cafe-laid-back.
The staff was super excited when we wanted to taste some cheese in the case while we waited on our food. They interpreted my 'I like the crunchy cheeses...." perfectly and found exactly what kind of cheeses I was talking about. These people KNOW CHEESE. No one made me feel like an idiot for only knowing the common everyday cheeses, they just enthusiastically offered me options and steered us expertly toward exactly what we wanted.
We ended up buying three cuts of cheese that we can't wait to make a cheeseboard at home with .... we enjoyed our time here and the staff .... just awesome. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu!
Stop by and get your cheese on!!! I guarantee you'll learn so much and come away with something amazing and mouth-watering!
