For over 59 years, fondue dining at Geja’s Café has been a favorite indulgence for Chicagoans as well as out-of-towners. It’s a perfect way to kindle romance, celebrate a special occasion or simply join family and friends for a fun and unforgettable dining experience.
To start we offer a Swiss Gruyere cheese fondue, served with fresh breads, fruits and vegetables for dipping. Our crisp house salad, dressed with tangy Dijon vinaigrette, offers a counterpoint to the rich, warm cheese fondue appetizer.
Next, you’ll cook your choices of Australian lobster tail, Gulf shrimp, beef tenderloin, fresh sea scallops or boneless chicken breast in a pot of sizzling soybean oil or broth. The main course is served with fresh vegetables and eight gourmet dipping sauces.
Our famous chocolate fondue is flamed table-side, and presented with marshmallows for roasting and other delectable dippers.

A 4 % operational fee is added to all checks to work in concert with Chicago's One Fair Wage Ordinance.

    My experience was really good. The food was amazing. The way the meat would be cooked was interesting. The chocolate fondue was spectacular. Our waiter Tyson was very nice and friendly and he made the experience much better.

    I've been coming to Gejas for over 30 years and they literally NEVER disappoint! Like a well-oiled machine from the moment we entered the door. Mike at coat check is sure to make you smile! Hosts were impecable and even checked on us during the meal. Server was one of the best we've ever had! Food runner & table attendent was on top of the food & fire - so good. Fresh ingredients, sauces for every pallet, amazing cheese fondue, wonderful entree selection (even for us vegetarians!), delicious choclate fondue, PLUS a great selection of wine by the glass, cocktails & beer. One of the best birthday meals I've ever had! THANK YOU
