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.

  • Riboli Family Wine Dinner

    $75.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Aug 13, 2025 only
    Riboli Family Wines began in 1917 when Italian immigrant Santo Cambianica founded San Antonio Winery in Los Angeles, naming it after his patron saint. It remains the city's oldest producing winery. In the 1930s, Santo’s nephew Stefano Riboli joined the business, eventually partnering with his wife Maddalena to guide the winery through the Great Depression and Prohibition. By the 1950s and 60s, the couple began expanding beyond Los Angeles, later acquiring vineyards in Napa Valley and Monterey during the 1980s, and in Paso Robles in the early 2000s Now led by fourth-generation winemaker Anthony Riboli, the family’s portfolio includes over 10 brands. Riboli Family Wines continues to honor its heritage with a commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation—values that earned them Wine Enthusiast’s title of American Winery of the Year in 2018. The Riboli Fine Wine Dinner includes: Reception Wine - San Simeon Viognier Maddalena Monterey Chardonnay paired with Swiss Gruyere cheese fondue with assorted breads, vegetables and fruits for dipping. House salad served with Geja's Dijon vinaigrette. Opaque "Darkness" paired with Beef tenderloin, white shrimp and boneless chicken breast. Served with assorted vegetables and eight gourmet dipping sauces. Chocolate Bar dessert Wine paired with Geja's Belgian chocolate fondue and served with marshmallows for roasting along with other delectable treats for dipping. To ensure that we get everyone together that wants to be together, we suggest that you buy enough tickets for your entire party. Cancellations can be made by phone only, Monday through Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM. Cancellations on or before Monday, August 11th by 4 P.M. will be refunded in full. After that date, Geja's Café will have to re-sell the ticket prior to issuing a refund.

    We had a wonderful time at Geja's. We did opt to do the valet parking since we are from out of town, this was a wonderful decision. When we arrived inside, we were greeted and asked if we'd ever dined with them before, we had not. When we told them we were from out of town and the host gave us some recommendations to see in Chicago including an app that we could download that would help us find some less well-known sights to see, it was a great way to start our time here. Filipe came and took our drink orders, and I am so sorry, but I forgot our other server's name. He was very tall and equally helpful; he talked us through the menu and was very nice about our questions. We did the 3-course meal, and it was amazing. The cheese course was YUM! The main course was delicious, but my favorite was the desert course. The chocolate fondue was AMAZING! Geja's was a fun and unique experience that we were very glad to have tried!

    Great atmosphere, definitely lives up to its reputation as most romantic restaurant in Chicago! We loved the fondue, starting with the cheese and then the main course then the chocolate fondue dessert. Good value for amount of food you get.
