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.

Geja’s is one of my favorite places ever & that’s why I wanted to spend my 30th birthday here. This time was subpar. I believe it was mainly on our waiter & the service he provided. We were expecting him to be more personable because it’s the service that’s always provided here. He wasn’t attentive to us much or our fondue. We didn’t have enough cheese & the chocolate ended up over cooking. Nonetheless, we will still be back! I still love this place so much, I think this was a one time thing! (:

Much nicer than anticipated! Great food, exceedingly cozy atmosphere. Service wasn’t 5 star in the fine dining sense, but they were very nice and brought everything out in a timely way. Was just a bit informal which can be nice.

Definitely would not recommend for a big group. Took 45 minutes for our table to be ready and were then told it’s because it’s a date night place. Great food.
