Cheese & Pickle Shop
I have heard there is a shop in Abu Dhabi called 'The Cheese & Pickle Shop'. Does anyone know where it is?
Also, as much as Abu Dhabi and Dubai are places where you can get most things and can do a lot of things (e.g. skiing in the desert), I have so far failed to find a half decent cheese board. I have heard the Westin Hotel in Dubai has a walk in cheese fridge (or 'chidge') and will try it out, but does anyone know of anywhere I can find good cheese?! |

Does that work for you??? :D |

It's available but it's not the best quality, and is very expensive. Sorry. |
Re: Cheese & Pickle Shop
What a peculiar thread. There is plenty of good cheese available in the supermarkets. We pay AED34 per Kg for Cheddar, AED40 per Kg for Red Leicester and y/day bought some Danish Blue for AED39 per Kg but the quality stuff can get quite expensive.

shandolier, the only place i've had decent cheese here is at reflets...even the verre cheeseboard is sadly lacking...there's a winebar in wafi called vintage that is meant to specialise in cheese, but it's all kept chilled and isn't anywhere near the quality you'd get at home... MM, xx |

MM, xx I agree MM. Shadya, the supermarket stuff is/was crapola-in AD certainly. Shandolier, I recall the C&P shop as being on 7 near either 26 or 28 but it's not exclusively a purveyor of truckles etc. Funnily enough, the best cheese I ever got was from Duty free exiting AD. |
Re: Cheese & Pickle Shop
I was told about a cheese room in The Westin that sounded really good. Also there is some cheese "guru" in residence at Oscar's Wine Bar at the Crowne Plaza this week...

Its not actually a cheese and pickle shop. Its a supermarket/spices. Im sorry can't remember its exact location. |
Re: Cheese & Pickle Shop
the Organic Supermarket has a good selection of cheeses I have to say :)

Re: Cheese & Pickle Shop
I hate seeing posts about food as it puts ideas in my head
Now craving crumbly white Lancashire on toasted granary bread smeared with full salt lurpak and topped off with a thick layer of full size chunk branston pickle. Lovely Yet another day when the cornflake diet is going to die a death. In fact its only survived about 2 days in the fortnight I have been on it. Bugger:( |

Re: Cheese & Pickle Shop
Spectrum on One (Fairmont in Dubai) has a cheese & port room. I reckon every home should have one.
