Fondue: Say Cheese: 6 fine fondue-venues

The last few days were full of sunshine but despite the golden rays, autumn is in the air. And an old, made up by me, proverb says: When the temperature falls, the mood for melted cheese rises. Below you find my recommendations, for where to go.

CHALET ZÜRIBERG
If you fancy a new location for fondue or raclette I can recommend Fondue Chalet Zürichberg. It’s located in Zurich but comes with everything the name implies: The atmosphere of an alpine hut with a roasting fire. Afterwards, enjoy the view over the city and a digestive walk down into town. From 28 October until 31 March.
Chalet Züriberg, Orellistrasse 21, 8044

FRAU GEROLDS GARTEN

The cosy atmosphere of the wooden pavilion at Frau Gerolds Garten makes you believe you’re sitting in your own living room. They serve fondue until the end of February. 
Gerolds Garten, Geroldstrasse 23/23a, 8005

FONDUE CHALET SIHLCITY

At Fondue Chalet Sihlcity you find an atmospheric central alpine hut. They serve a great variety of Fondues – and Flammkuchen – with great bread, made by the baker of their trust. From November until the end of December.
Fondue Chalet Sihlcity, Kalanderplatz 1, 8045  

WALLISER KELLER

The Walliser Keller just had a gentle face lift and is ideal for groups where not everyone likes fondue but where one or the other prefers another traditional Swiss dish instead.
Walliser Keller, Zähringerstrasse 21, 8001

FRIBOURGER STÜBLI

Fribourger Stübli calls itself Number 1 for fondues – of course Fribourgeoise - and looks back on forty years of experience. The fondue comes with potatoes and breand and tastes great.
Fribourger Stübli, Rotwandstrasse 38, 8004

GLOCKENHOF ÄLPLERSTUBE

Glockenhof has a hidden garden restaurant right in the city centre. Of course it’s too cold to enjoy the terrace at the moment, which is why the built a small hut to serve fondue in a traditional environment, the Älplerstube. Ideal, if you’re looking for a smaller place (24 seats) that you can also book as a whole for a business dinner or private group.
