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.

    Definitely would not recommend for a big group. Took 45 minutes for our table to be ready and were then told it’s because it’s a date night place. Great food.

    Wonderful food, ambience and service. We sat with the owners at the bar and chatted about the history of Geja's. Its liquor license is # 41 meaning they have a very long history of EXCELLENCE. When you go say hello to Darla for us. She is the owner.

    YAAY GEJA!!! We loved this cozy little spot! It was so cute and personable & very romantic! Was a little late for our reservation but everything still worked out perfect. They were very understanding and were still able to accommodate us! It was a weekday though so might want to take that into consideration! Such a nice spot might not be as accommodating on the weekend! However it was quite the fondue experience and I would definitely recommend it ! A bit on the pricy side but so worth it!! We will definitely be going again!
