Charming

For over 59 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.

One of my all time favorite restaurants. Gorgeous old european atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else in the city, possibly not even in the country. Warmly and dimly lit with classical guitar flowing through the restaurant. Very romantic and special. I hope this place remains for many years to come, highly recommend for any special occasion.

Gejas out did themselves this eveng. The food was exceptional, and our waiter Trevor was gracious and appropriately attentive. Our booth "E" was perfect. Away from the door and quiet. Loved it. The new manager is first class and a gentleman. I've been coming to Gejas since the late 80ties and this was the best experience in all my visits. Thank you, staff and Gejas. 💗

The service was great, ambiance was wonderful. Cheese course and dessert were lovely. The main course was not good. The low flashpoint of the oil makes everything soggy and greasy. Nothing crisps up. Potatoes took double the time to cook, and still not good. So disappointing. We will not be back for a main course.

If you haven't been, it's a must go. Best fondue in the Chicago land area. Expensive but worth it. Join their club and get free anniversary & birthday coupons.
