About Splatters Cheese Bar West Melbourne

A rotating conveyor belt delivers small plates of Australian artisan cheese straight to your stool in West Melbourne. Guests pluck colour-coded dishes as they glide past, tallying up with numbered tokens while tucking into complimentary bottomless crackers and pita chips. Rather than naked wedges, each bite gets an unexpected house-made side—think triple cream brie cut with chilli honey fennel, or Tasmanian blue paired with dark chocolate fudge. To round out the counter tastings, order warm kitchen plates like fondue mugs and crisp toasties directly from your seat.

  • Cheese on a conveyor belt: Plates glide past on a continuous sushi-train style conveyor, tracked by numbered tokens.
  • Tailored scratch pairings: Each artisan portion arrives matched with accompaniments like chilli honey fennel or dark chocolate fudge.
  • Bottomless crackers: Complimentary crackers, biscuits, and pita chips accompany every session at the counter.

Why Choose Splatters Cheese Bar West Melbourne

Why cheese lovers and social diners choose Splatters Cheese Bar

  • Conveyor-Belt Cheese Discovery

    A continuous rotating conveyor belt lets diners select artisan Australian cheeses on demand with transparent token tracking.

    Think sushi train, but entirely dedicated to artisan cheeses. The rotating selection at the West Melbourne spot is amazing—every plate we grabbed was packed with flavor and perfectly paired.

  • Adventurous Tasting Without Commitment

    Diners can explore specialty cheeses without committing to whole retail wheels by sampling individual rotating dishes.

    A great way to sample new cheeses and get out of your comfort zone. The cheese train is an interesting way to serve cheese and adds a touch of pizzaz to this place.

  • Curated Homemade Pairings

    Each cheese plate arrives with custom-made sweet or savory accompaniments designed to elevate unexpected flavor notes.

    Every cheese was served with matching sides/sauces/fruits, so we did not leave this place hungry.

  • Bottomless Crackers and Accoutrements

    All cheese selections are paired with unlimited complimentary crackers and biscuits to complete every plate.

    Free crackers and pita chips, all you can eat. Also delicious charcuterie bowl (I had 2!). Great friendly staff.

  • Playful Novelty for Social Outings

    A lively, unconventional format transforms casual meetups into a memorable and playful food outing.

    Cheese was also such a fun experience haha. I would recommend to read the numbers on the folder they give you that explain what each number is.

  • Cheesecake

    The cheesecake was also delicious and definitely the best cheesecake I’ve had.

  • Fondue

    The Fondue Mug went well with literally everything (including the toastie - trust me, I'm a connoisseur now), just try not to lose your gherkin to the sea of molten gruyere.
