I heard about this amazing place from my mate Kev who travels to Melbourne a lot on business, and when I was last in Melbourne, I just had to spend some time there. I was not disappointed.
Milk the Cow is a unique proposition in the
Melbourne hospitality scene – a licensed fromagerie with two locations: on
Fitzroy Street in St Kilda (kinda across the road from the St Kilda Sports
Club) and Lygon Street in Carlton (across the road from the iconic Nova Cinema).

But the most compelling offering by far is
their selection of tasting flights: 4 varieties of cheese paired with 4 varities
of liquor. You can choose from a red
wine flight, a white wine flight, a sparking wine flight, a whisky flight, a
beer flight, and even a sake flight!
Each with a different selection of cheeses that complements the
particular beverages selected.
Needless to say, I chose the whisky flight for a quick lunch ...

Both venues also boast alfresco seating on the
sidewalk, which is cigar-friendly. In
fact, they have a small selection of cigars available on their menu although
your own cigars are welcome. In my case, I enjoyed a beautifully aged 1998 Le Hoyo du Roi from Wal Baranow's private collection (from iconic Melbourne cigar lounge Baranows, which has sadly closed because Wal has decided to move to Cuba - tough life indeed!). If you
happen to be squeamish about smoking, that is also fine: both venues have
plenty of comfortable indoor seating as well.
While I was sitting on the sidewalk enjoying the various delights on my table, a couple of people walked past and started chatting to me - they too had come in search of this wonderful place!
