About
The crowd at Kashkaval Garden skews 30-something and 40-something, mixing gay, straight, and everyone in between. This Hell's Kitchen spot is a hybrid: a cheese and gourmet foods market up front, an intimate candlelit wine and cheese bar in back. Think fondue, cheese plates, and small Mediterranean plates in a lively, romantic vibe. It's tiny, so you'll want a reservation.
Opened in 2004 by two Montreal transplants, Kashkaval feels like a second home, according to the owners. The front market sells over 100 international cheese varieties, imported olives, cured meats, and gourmet salads to go. Late hours on weekends mean you can linger over wine until 12:30 am. The Yelp reviews call it welcoming and perfect for a lazy afternoon. For another NYC classic, you could grab a pastrami sandwich at Katz's Delicatessen nearby.
Kashkaval Garden is in Hell's Kitchen, a Manhattan neighborhood known for its diverse dining and nightlife, and a popular area for LGBTQ+ locals.

“A little nosh”
You can easily spend hours at Kashkaval because it's small yet very inviting. The snack options are ideal for a relaxed afternoon. It's a wonderful spot for a late lunch catching up with a friend. The cheese assortment is fantastic.
