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.

    This was our first visit to gejas in 20 years. We were very excited as this was one of our favs back then. We were disappointed that the vibe had changed. The dark, swanky place we remembered was no longer. The chocolate fondue was not hot enough for our taste and the portion sizes seem to have been reduced. Wasn’t a big deal but worth noting. Being able to make reservations these days was a big plus.

    Our Server ruined our experience sadly, she was not attentive to us for such an expensive meal. She did not accommodate for a vegetarian. The food was much different than the last time we visited three years ago much less food for more money.

    One of our favorite restaurants in all of Chicago. We took friends who had never been with us and they were floored with the fondue experience. We want to thank our server Gary - he was attentive and always there throughout our meal. We were never rushed and had such a wonderful night! A hint for everyone - the house wine (Geja’s wine) is delicious and so approachable!

    Bothers me to no end that I can spend $600 for dinner for a family of 4 adults and they charge a 4% operational fee. Give me a break. Beyond that, the food and service were exceptional.
