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.

This is the best restaurant I have ever been to in my 31 years of continued existence. The staff is so kind and they remember myself and my partner every time we come in because we come in once a month. The cheese is delectable, the main course is utterly mouthwatering, and don’t even get me started on the chocolate. 100000/10 can’t wait to come again.

Nice ambiance, pretty quiet place…as long as the table next to you is considerate lol ours not so much. Service is very good. Spent $200 on a date night with one drink each, so definitely not too budget friendly if that’s what you’re looking for haha. Overall pretty nice place I just feel like you can get a lot more bang for your buck somewhere else.

A delightful way to celebrate an occasion with a special experience. The dinner was well-paced, professionally handled, delicious food, fun atmosphere. There’s good reason Geja’s has been around for more than half a century.
