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.

Our first time! We have done fondue in other places but not at La Fondue. The menu has so many choices - it was impressive. We chose to grill the meat and my biggest complaint is that it was so dark we had to use flashlights to check if the meat was done. Also longer handled spatulas would be helpful to avoid splatter burns. Wait staff and fantastic!

I’m sorry if you get the table with the loose wiring you will be kicking all night while every worker walks by you but your actual server ignores you. Food is overpriced for its quality which has gone downhill - We’ve been coming here for years but probably not anymore. But hey, the table has a great view of a wall and the water station. This night was a disappointment at every turn, from the bad table to the bad service and food. The only redeeming quality was.. I actually can’t think of one. We grabbed some fast food on the way home which was necessary because we left hungry.

Ive been going to La Fondue for 27 years and this was the worse service Ive ever had. we never had water refilled. had to get uo and walk ovwr to stand to grab decanter to fill up our wine. wifes salad was not delivered. our cappuccino was not delivered. i hope this was an outlier. but payment ng 300 plus for dinner of 2 should yield far superior service.

Celebrated my birthday here and it did not disappoint. Parking can be a challenge, however, we were told to park in the 2 hr parking and even the loading zones. Saratoga does not ticket since parking is a huge problem.
