St. James Cheese Company - Warehouse District — Restaurant in New Orleans

I treated myself to a decadent evening out on my own at Cheese, Chocolate, and Champagne with the St. James Cheese Company downtown.

I enjoyed savoring various cheeses curated by St. James Cheese Company as I learned about their origins, while nibbling on locally-made and limited-edition chocolates by Piety and Desire Chocolate, while sipping a selection of bubbly from Artisan Fine Wines.

We have visited the other location too on a former trip and I think the Tchoupatoulis location is much nicer (though it has a smaller range). Really enjoyed our tasting....

Great cheese. Great menu (which is mostly focused on cheese). Great presentation. For the Brits out there, the Ploughman's lunch will take you back home. I ate lunch here three times while attending a conference at the convention center (a four block walk) - by the end of the week everyone had heard of the place and the line was out the door. You order at the cashier and then find a table which can be a challenge when it's busy. The wines I tried were very good. The cheese and pâté seem to vary from day to day - for the selection items on the menu you get to choose the cheese but you'll do well if you let them choose the cheeses for you - they have good taste and know...
