Gourmet Destination and more

As an open venue, French Cheese Board will feature events and exhibits – such as NFT: Fromage in the Metaverse*, our current one – where food becomes the centerpiece and topic for engaged communication. The space serves as a beacon for chefs, artists, bloggers, foodies and cheese makers so they may explore dairy products and foods as a medium for development and innovation.

*Working with ARTPOINT, we commissioned four artists to express their sensations when evoking French cheese and butter. The result can be seen during regular hours, from 11-8pm (Mon-Fri) and 11-7pm (Sat-Sun).
