About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
For over 60 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.

    Bothers me to no end that I can spend $600 for dinner for a family of 4 adults and they charge a 4% operational fee. Give me a break. Beyond that, the food and service were exceptional.

    From the first encounter with the Vallet our experience was out of this world amazing. We were greeted with very friendly warm welcomes. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and funny. The food was phenomenal. The ambiance was lovely. We were there early so it was quiet but when we left the place was packed with a vibe of excitement.

    Loved it! More food than I anticipated and couldn’t even finish it all! We were also celebrating and they brought out a special dessert which is much appreciated. Very intimate and romantic ambience, perfect for celebrating an anniversary or occasion.

    We had an incredible experience at Geja’s Café. The ambiance was intimate and romantic—perfect for a special night out. The staff were amazing, warm, and attentive throughout the evening. One of the highlights was receiving a personalized card from the team—it was such a thoughtful gesture that made us feel truly celebrated. The fondue was delicious, and everything was beautifully paced. We left feeling full, happy, and so well taken care of. Can’t wait to return!

    Gejas is one of our favorite restaurants. It's a true throwback 1960's style Fondue restaurant. Dimly lit with curtains dividing up spaces, you feel like your table is very private and intimate, even though it's a large restaurant with lots of people crammed into every open space. It can be a very romantic experience, or it can be a great group experience for parties up to maybe 8 people. We went on a Sunday and it was very quiet. Friday and Saturday can be more energetic. Expect dinner to take at least 2.5 hours.
