We know sometimes you just can’t beat a good cheeseboard with the perfect wine, but for those who really love cheese, from a good brie to blue, these are the cheese dishes in Canberra that go above and beyond the standard platter.

Ricotta Doughnuts – Rizla

When you’re not already drinking a banging Riesling over a cheeseboard at Rizla, the ricotta doughnuts are out of this world. Made with caramelised white choc and orange, do we need to say more?

Cheeseburger Spring Rolls – Lazy Su

A long-standing Lazy Su favourite, if you haven’t already, you’ve got to try the cheeseburger spring rolls. With the perfect crunchy outer and gooey, tangy and tender inside, watch out as you might burn your tongue going in too quick for the first bite.

Truffle Mac & Cheese – The Meat and Wine Co

Burnt Basque Cheesecake – Sourdog Provisions

Quickly becoming the best cheesecake in Canberra, Sourdog Provisions’ burnt Basque cheesecake is even creamier than other cheesecakes you’ve had…if that’s even possible. Travelling to the origins of this delicious cheesecake in San Sebastian in Spain, owners tried a magnitude of slices until they were certain they could replicate it perfectly.
