The right pairings promise a wealth of variety, not only with the main subjects, but also with the side options, which often include the best artisanal breads paired with wine-based jelly, jam or tangy mustard, spiced nuts, and a complimentary wine. Now who wouldn’t be happy after all that?!

Next time you enjoy a dinner with loved ones, don’t skimp on the boards. In fact, order two platters instead — especially if you happen to be dining in one of these 10 establishments that have got the art of the perfect cheese and charcuterie pairings down to a T.
