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.

    We were looking for something different and intimate for our anniversary and Geja’s was perfect. The ambiance was calm and intimate, our server was attentive, and the fondue was delicious. Fun change of pace.

    No choices on type of cheese, broth, or chocolate. Would have preferred a choice.

    I've been dining at Gajes for over 20 years, and it remains my absolute favorite restaurant in the world. The service is consistently five-star — warm, attentive, and professional. Dining here isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. The unhurried pace allows you to truly slow down and savor every moment. Plan to spend about two hours for dinner, and trust me, it’s time well spent. Words can't fully express how much I love the food and service at Gajes — it's truly something special.

    Geja's deserves all the accolades it receives: ambiance, service, culinary delites are a few of the many reasons to visit. The live Spanish Guitar player is an added treat ... hard to find anywhere, these days. Bravo to Geja's!

    I planned a dinner with my husband as a surprise for our monthly Mystery Dates — he had no idea what to expect and had so much fun! We were so full by the end - we greatly recommend that everyone come to Deja!

    I first went to Geja’s 30 years ago, and I always wanted to go back. Finally I did, and it was every bit as good as I remember, if not better.

    Geja’s is always a fun place where I have a lovely time. Last night wasn’t quite up to par. Most of the food was excellent (the chocolate was divine) but some of the bread used for dipping in the cheese sauce was stale. The servers were pleasant but too pushy about trying to hurry us along, especially when it came to wanting to pick up the bill before we were ready. One told us they needed the table, but I saw there were several empty tables, so there was no need. That caused the time to end on a sour note.
