Cheese + Fizz

Savory Sensations with Market Charm

Nestled within the clamorous charm of Brixton Village, Cheese + Fizz offers a gustatory retreat for lovers of fine cheese and bubbles. Like its vibrant surroundings, the restaurant exudes a delightful effervescence both in atmosphere and offerings, much akin to stepping into an oasis brimming with exquisite flavors and sophisticated pairings. The space is refreshingly bright, accentuated by its wooden interiors and intimate tables, amidst the enticing bouquet of cheeses that saturate the air. Greeted warmly upon arrival, guests are swiftly introduced to the day’s selections by staff we found not just knowledgeable, but genuinely passionate about ensuring the meal is as unforgettable as possible.

During my indulgent sojourn here, it was clear that the culinary star was indeed their signature fondue; a luxuriant pool of molten cheese which, like an olfactory siren, enraptures both the nasal passages and taste buds. When paired with one of their recommended glasses of zingy champagne—the Roncier Burgundy especially captivates with its boisterous depth—each bite further delineates a perfect balance of creaminess and effervescence. Our selection also wandered to a delectable side of mussels doused in a luscious blue cheese sauce, leaving us yearning for yet another slice of crisp baguette to mop up every last drop. With just a signature flurry of interest and smiles from the attentive staff, visits to Cheese + Fizz transform into an experience beyond the plate, underscoring a fulfilling harmony of indulgence and warmth in the heart of a bustling market scene. Cheese + Fizz stands as a testimony to true gastronomic delight, echoing promises of many returns. — Jasper Griddle
