About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
For over 60 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.

    Food was great, service and ambiance amazing. Sat at a booth this time so my legs weren’t too cramped. Winter fondue cheese was delicious however in typical fashion filled up way to quick and was battling a full stomach the last two courses. Wine flight was great too

    Sometimes you really cannot recapture those great moments of the past, or great meals of the past, it seems. Life changes, and so do restaurants. That's not necessarily bad, merely factual. Geja"s was a site I have a long history of enjoying. From the very beginnings in the 1960's, when they basically offered cheese and sausage plates with a fabulous selection of wines. Later, they added the cheese fondue option, and then dessert. The final additions were the meat and seafood fondues, which were a new concept. I was disappointed they no longer offered the wonderful wine I had first encountered and loved there. It was a turning point on the path to adulthood, and my lifelong appreciation of fine wines. Additionally, the cheese fondue previously had wonderful, fresh slices of crusty french / italian bread that perfectly suited the warm gooeyness of the melted cheese. What was offered was tasteless and dry, and not at all near the quality in flavor and texture of past meals. The place is still beautiful to see, staff is still very helpful, and service is on target, and the live guitar music is still, thank fully present. But, the missing delicious wine that prompted me to return, only to not even be available, was a huge disappointment. At this price point, and distance I must travel, this will most likely not warrant an additional visit. I guess you really can't go home again.
