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.

          We had great experience, the food and the ambience was outstanding.when we go to restaurants I can hardly hear myself think because of the noise. Our server was great, explaining everything and he was spot on the sauces were to die for complementing the food very well, my favorite were the spicy ones and the dill and chimichurri.

          Took my partner here for his birthday! It was a overall a great experience!! The staff was wonderful. Our table wasn’t ready when we arrived so we were invited to wait at the bar which was lovely. The staff was great and attentive but not pushy. We loved the food and look forward to going another time! They have valet parking but the area doesn’t have the best parking so be sure to leave time to look for parking. We will definitely be dining there again!! Super romantic and live music playing for a bit made for a beautiful atmosphere.

          Service and food were absolutely perfect! I had always heard about Geja’s and it did not disappoint. I’d highly suggest the fondue trio to get a taste of everything. Also pleasantly surprised by the gluten free bread offering. Cannot suggest this place enough for a cozy romantic night.

          Outstanding Fondue! Portion size for the “International” seemed especially light on the protein and overweighted with potatoes and veggies. More protein please? Otherwise, excellent everything across the board!
