A wonderful cheese bar where you can order custom cheese plates based on your taste and mood, and pick from a whole menu of cheesy delights. Read more

Stopped in on a busy Saturday night and got a spot at the bar. Friendly & super knowledgeable server/cheesemonger made excellent cheeseplate recommendations! Great beer/wine list. Love the vibe here!
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015
The Bitches say: B+. Perhaps brunch isn’t meant to be overdone with cheese, meaning Murray’s got it right with its menu, expertly bringing the best cheese in the best ways into classic brunch dishes. Read more

If you're feeling indecisive at brunch, go with the grilled cheese, opt for the bacon (because, bacon), and ask for a side of jam for dipping. It's the perfect combo of savory and sweet.

Classic Melt: Gruyere, Tickler, and buffalo mozzarella cheeses flood from thick-cut white bread with a shellacked crust, to give a well-made grilled cheese the textural contrast it so deserves.

The cider list includes a sparkling cider from Eden Specialty Ciders in Vermont, a limited-edition Aaron Burr cider called "Malus Baccata," and a still and dry bottle from South Hill Cider in Ithaca. Read more

great selection of cheese and meats, definitely go for the cheese mongers plate if you don't know anything about cheese. you can specify off limit items too

Great service, very good cheese, & decent wine selection. A bit pricey, but worth the chill cheese & wine forward hangout with a couple friends.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 9, 2013
While Murray's is known for their great selection of cheeses, you can't come here without trying the grilled cheese with tomato soup. It's the perfect lunch!
Kimmie OhhJuly 31, 2020
It’s no surprise that they have fondue & raclette here! Plenty of cheese plates. Try the cheese curds & Murray’s melt with tomato soup. Get the mushroom bolognese if available.
Lori LuoSeptember 4, 2014
Fans of Murray's Cheese Shop will enjoy the Cheese Bar, which lets guests order a variety of cheese-based creations. Get the cheesemonger's choice, the Classic Melt, or the excellent Mac and Cheese.
Tess SmithMay 26, 2013
CHEESE MONGERS PLATE: if you happen to be with multiple people (we had 4) order 2 of the 5pc plates, our "cheese monger" actually made both plates completely different & we got to try 10 cheeses! Yum!
NycGalJanuary 14, 2015
If you love cheese and wine this is your heaven. They have a shop next door. Great selection of cheeses and wine.
Brad GaroonMay 11, 2015
While the obvious draw here is the choice of a ridiculous number of cheeses, the Ottomanelli & Sons burger patty is well worth some attention. Read more

C'mon.....it's a restaurant built around cheese. The nicest waitstaff and chefs on earth. Not even remotely pretentious...just walk in and eat divine food. You'll think you fell into heaven. :)

Much more than just a cheese bar. The excellent kitchen turns our tasty dishes (most with cheese!). Great cocktails, wines & beers as well.
Rebecca PalmerAugust 17, 2013
Artichoke salad was simple, but one of the tastiest things I've ever had!! Cheese mongers plate all the way, and amazingly after that much cheese didn't have any freaky dreams!
Sam PandolfoOctober 6, 2012
I do not leave tips. That being said, get the f-ing classic grilled cheese and tomato soup. Holy hell, it is delicious. Probably one of the best things I've ever eaten.
Luke WhiteAugust 7, 2014
The staff make this place the best around. Tell them what you like, try some tastes, leave with more than you thought you came in for and with no regrets.
Tara DîanaJuly 19, 2015
Delicious cheese and great wine selection! We let them curate our tasting, and they didn't disappoint.
Colin GibbsOctober 15, 2012
Besides the dozens of cheeses you can try, the mac & cheese and the classic melt with tomato soup are excellent
Serious EatsMarch 19, 2013
Murray's Cheese presents a cozy wine bar with a full cheese-based menu best taken in small bites over drinks.
GothamistJanuary 10, 2017
Naturally, Murray's has their own fondue made with Alpine-style cheeses (which are great for melting) combined with crisp Chablis and earthy nutmeg. Read more
Maximum BurgerJanuary 15, 2018
Kind of bad value (cost + size), and wouldn’t recommend the raclette - but everything tasted great: coffee, mac, melt, cheese curds etc.
Kathryn DApril 24, 2017
Wonderful spot, especially for small groups. Start with fondue as interactive appetizer. Lots of vegetarian options.
Nicolette RomeroApril 26, 2015
Yeah, the food here is top notch. Try the burger with brie cheese or the breakfast quesadilla. You won't leave hungry!
Rob AtkinsonMarch 19, 2016
Place to eat cheese and cheese dishes from the classic cheese shop. Also plenty of wine, charcuterie, beer, and cider
NicoleFebruary 9, 2014
Order. Everything. SO GOOD, and the wait staff is amazing. So nice and helpful. A+ 👌
Maya Jimenez 😬September 5, 2013
This is one of those places where you can tell the waiter what you like and they'll make amazing suggestions. Love it!
Sarah ParmenterJanuary 29, 2015
Chefs choice cheese board. Do the 6 though rather than 8, portion sizes seem to come out better for some reason. You can always order more!
Marie BelfioreJuly 6, 2018
best mac and cheese you will ever have. one of my fave spots for a casual dinner in nyc!
Molly DonohueApril 13, 2016
Must order the grilled cheese and soup at lunch!
Kelsey LJanuary 3, 2019
The pesto mac and cheese is amazing and the service is impeccable. Great vibes and ambience too :)

great cheese selection, I love to compare american vs european ones, amazing.
Kate FurmanApril 13, 2015
Eat your classic melt fast before the cheese hardens and your bread gets soggy.

I have died and gone to Cheese heaven, everyone MUST come and try this incredible new place. Highlights: Buffalo cheese curds, fondue, pretty much everything!!
K MSeptember 30, 2017
Doesn't matter what you get, just make sure they give you those crumbly maple bits and go to town.
Jaclyn RJanuary 26, 2019
Great food and love the cheese plate, especially the maple flakes! Poor service unfortunately
Gigi AgiusDecember 3, 2014
Amazing cheese bar. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the cheeses are delicious.
Michael D'AurizioJanuary 16, 2015
One of the best, most creative restaurants in the West Village. Try the gorganzola.
deliaFebruary 17, 2013
Duck hash duck hash duck hash! Just make sure they don't overcook the poached egg and it'll be perfection!
Georgia LuddeckeAugust 23, 2016
Their classic mac and cheese was excellent. Also the whole place smelled like good cheese 😁
LukeMay 26, 2017
Awesome place to eat cheese while people who know a lot about cheese talk to you about cheese
Thomas MoAugust 17, 2014
The burger is delicious but the cheese fondue sauce that comes with it is more gravy than fondue.
Village VoiceOctober 25, 2012
Critics' Pick winner of The Village Voice Best of NYC 2012 Best Cheese Use!

Get the Manchester from Consider Bardwell Farm! They are The Vermont Sustainable Farm of the Tear!!!
April DitoApril 8, 2015
One of the best cheese platter pairings I've ever had. My salad was also excellent.
Michel BallardJuly 29, 2013
Get the goat cheese and candied walnut pairing...it literally tastes like an ice cream cone.
Nicole YaleMay 19, 2013
Cheese flight is a must. Brie french toast during brunch is amazing.
