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.

Waiters were very sweet but took forever to serve our 4 course dinner. Had to ask for refill of water 5 times. Food was yummy but service could definitely be improved.

The fondue “classic Swiss” was disappointing. Very bland and I question the type of cheese used. Doubt any emmenthal or gruyère were used in the mix and get more like the Kraft Swiss cheese taste.

The service was impeccable; upon entering throughout the meal. All of whom were 25 or younger but had the experience of service excellence that you would expect from Michelin tiered restaurants. Totally will come again at least once a quarter if not more. So many types of fondue that we can’t wait to try. Again, the food was excellent but the service was so on point that this review deserves more stars than available to giveaways 🤙🤙🤙

The rise in prices is ridiculous. This place use to be packed and never really is now and it is because it is so over priced. They are also skipping on portions now. Salad is smaller and they do not even make a full pot of cheese now. I will not be back. Will find an alternate.

We took my dad here for his birthday! It was our second time coming and José was a fabulous server. He was much more informative and helpful with our courses and meat/seafood cooking times. The birthday surprise at the end was so thoughtful and helpful brought Apple ciders out for those that had not been drinking to celebrate the birthday with! Thank you for making it special and memorable!

I’ve been coming here since I was a child for the last 30 years and am sad to say that it’s gone downhill. The prices have skyrocketed and the service is nowhere near what it used to be. I was charged $22 for a side of mushrooms on my last visit. For the cheese fondue they give you half of the amount of cheese they bring to the table - I really hope the other half isn’t being thrown away. I hope they can return to the level of service and value that made this a special place so many years ago.

Thank you for revisiting us after your last visit in 2019. The world has changed significantly post-COVID, and like many industries, restaurants have faced rising costs due to inflation and labor challenges. To clarify, we do not charge for refills on our 4-course Tasting Menu, but there is a fee for an additional 4-oz order on dishes from our À La Carte menu. We're incredibly grateful to still be serving our valued customers after decades and truly appreciate all feedback as we continuously strive to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Excellent service and food! Our family of five dined for 3-1/2 hours for all the courses and never felt rushed or stressed about the amount of time we were spending taking up the table. Amazing experience which everyone should try!
