About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Fancy

La Fondue is located in the center of Saratoga Village on Big Basin Way at the corner of 4th Street. The restaurant’s interior reflects a new interpretation of European design that avoids cliché interpretations. La Fondue offers a unique experience serving over 50 types of fondues served tableside. We offer a “chill out” dining experience, a little bit glamorous, a little bit classic. Try our Wild Game, Kobe Flat-Iron, or Private Reserve Filet Mignon cooked in one of our four cooking methods. Then top off your evening with a decadent chocolate fondue dessert.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a romantic dinner, La Fondue promises an unforgettable blend of mood and food.

Fondue is a fun way to enjoy a meal with family or a date. We made a reservation on one of the busiest nights of the year, second only to Valentine's Day. The host was accommodating to our table request, which we appreciated. Alanna was our server, and she did an excellent job. Although the restaurant was a bit short on wait staff during our visit, everyone worked together as a team. Aside from a few delays with drink refills and grilling assistance, everything else went almost seamlessly. Unfortunately, the quality of the steaks and fish was not as good as we had hoped, and the dessert pound cakes were a bit dry and stale. However, everything else was delicious. We enjoyed champagne with our meal and wished the pours were a bit more generous. Overall, we had a fun fondue experience and look forward to our next visit.

La Fondue is not what it used to be. The price was exorbitant for what you receive. I also realized, why do I want to pay so much money to cook my own food? That’s why I go out to eat. The experience of it was fun, but I left with oil stains from the grill on my clothing and leather purse - unavoidable spatter because you are sitting so close. Half way through, the server came and turned down our grill to almost off because he had started us off way too high, causing the proteins to not cook to a proper temperature in both extremes. A fun date might be to go there, after dinner elsewhere, to share the chocolate fondue. It is a romantic setting for something like that because it is dark. The decor itself is less than desirable. I am not sure how to explain it other than a medieval church in the woods.
