The Melting Pot is Huntersville’s fine-dining destination, with mouthwatering offerings for people with all tastes. One bite is all takes to make a fondue believer out of you. Whether you’re arrived for drinks, cheese, and chocolate, or you want to experience the full 4-Course Experience, you’ll leave a fan of our gourmet fondue. When you’re in the mood for something different and special, fondue is the perfect choice. Our friendly servers blend artisan cheeses tableside before delivering freshly made salads with signature dressings. Choose your own custom entrée and cooking style, but make sure to save room for dessert. Everyone loves chocolate, and we deliver the most indulgent chocolate experience you’ll ever have! You’ll find our fondue restaurant right off Highway 77 in the Lake Norman area near Charlotte. We’re just a few miles from Charlotte Motor Speedway in the heart of NASCAR Country.

Our server Alex was amazing. Thank you, Alex. You made our daughter feel so special. One semester of college down and you helped us celebrate her. You are one of the good ones.

About the restaurant
The Melting Pot Restaurant in Charlotte is where fun is cooked up fondue style.

Our Charlotte restaurant is located in the Midtown neighborhood. Close to all Uptown hotels, Bank of America Stadium, Spectrum Center, Blumenthal Performing Arts center.

The experience is great in a group and romantic for couples. The intimate location provides a casually elegant, intimate atmosphere. The relaxing four-course experience begins with a cheese fondue prepared table side. A fresh salad follows while your entrée pot heats up. You’ll simmer a variety of tantalizing meats, seafood and vegetables. Each morsel is hot, fresh and delicious and all entrées are accompanied by an array of dipping sauces to add to the flavorful fun. Chocolate fondue is the finale.

We had a great time! My husband and I were going with our newborn and the restaurant was SO accommodating. They messaged me immediately about where we could put our newborn carrier. Then they called day of to make sure we were all set to bring our baby. When we got there, everyone was so nice and made sure that we were comfortable! The food was great. Overall good experience.

Plenty of good authentic Spanish choices here. If you can't decide go for a selection of Tapas, about 3 per person and a shared salad would be perfect. The empanadas are excellent and the Mussels w/ Chorizo and bread is enough for a meal in itself. This is our favorite go to restaurant for special occasions. Prices are reasonable for the great quality here.
