Fromage The Cow

Updated: Jul 13, 2020

FROMAGE THE COW HAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED.

Fromage the Cow, Brisbane’s first licensed fromagerie with in-house wine bar and café, lives in the landmark historic Smith’s Shop on Milton’s Park Road.

A giant pink cow stands sentry outside while inside Fromage the Cow mixes chic contemporary décor and heritage features such as a free-standing handmade brick fireplace. The walk-in glass-walled cheese room takes pride of place at the front, while a coffee counter of French pastries has its own window for takeaway and a cosy wine bar with a separate entrance on once side can be found at the rear.

In the cheese room you’ll find a selection of some 80 cheeses from Australia and around the world stored in gleaming glass fridges and those who stick around to dine can partake in the French-inspired menu that features cheese in the majority of the dishes.

For Fromage the Cow serves a delicious breakfast and lunch as well as dinner mid-week to weekends, while the bar* is the place for wine and cheese pairings (including Spanish, French and Australian).

On the breakfast menu there’s deliciousness like the Open 3 Cheese Omelette with red cheddar, provolone, goats cheese and spinach with tomato salsa and sour dough or Crushed Avocado with goat cheese mousse and roasted sesame dukkah.

Highly recommended are the signature Monte Cristo Breakfast sandwich (also available as takeaway) with thick-cut ham, gruyere and Brioche French Toast or the Brie en Cocotte – brie baked with pumpkin, mozzarella and eggs, served in a little Le Creuset pot with sour dough on the side.
