Maker and Monger - Melbourne Cheese Shop

Prahran Market’s undisputed temple of dairy. Serious cheese disciples make the pilgrimage here for one very specific reason—the toasties. We’re talking a masterclass in affinage melting between perfectly blistered sourdough. Market-goers universally agree the fondue special is an absolute triumph—a rich, complex hit of premium cheese, white wine, garlic, and mustard. Beyond the grill, it’s a dizzying showcase of global wheels and rare cuts. The staff operate like true maîtres fromagers, guiding you through the pungent, the creamy, and the bold. They’ve even curated a stellar lineup of hard-to-find wines to match your haul. Pro move: order the raclette when it makes an appearance, snag a brew from Market Lane across the aisle, and lean into a ridiculously decadent afternoon.
