10Best Says

Every relaxed vacation town needs a proper cheesemonger. You need cheese for picnics, cheese for cocktail parties, cheese for lavish weddings and movie premieres. C'est Cheese is a delectably stinky cheese mecca, packed with varieties from near and far. They also have divine sausages and gourmet sideboard fixings, like pickles and jellies. Don't forget to grab a loaf of bread while you're there. Buying cheese to eat later is fun, but what if you're hungry now? Not a problem! C'est Cheese also serves up fine grilled cheeses, deli sandwiches and soups. Limited free street parking nearby, but absolutely worth walking a block or more.
