Geja's Cafe

Add a bit of romance to the fall season by enjoying the last vestige of communal dining, Fondue at Geja's Cafe, 340 West Armitage Avenue in Chicago.

The curtain enclosed booths along with low ceilings and subterranean brick interior provides the perfect romantic setting for couples to enjoy a two hour dining experience.  Choose from a large selection of wines to complement a three course fondue .  Begin by dipping chunks of crusty French bread along with apples into a pot of melted Gruyere cheese blended with white wine, Kirsch cherry brandy and spices.

Enjoy the live performance of flamenco guitars over the second course. A sizzling pot of hot oil is delivered in which to dip your choice of beef, chicken, shrimp, lobster and scallops along with a variety of vegetables.  The main entree includes a selection of eight sauces providing a wide range of taste sensations.

The final course consists of a chocolate fondue flamed with orange liqueur and served with strawberries, apples, melons, bananas, pineapple, pound cake and marshmallows.  A crisp glass of champagne makes a nice accompaniment. 

Geja's is not only a cozy spot for couples, but also a great spot for groups to enjoy the interactive nature of fondue dinning.  Prices range from $18.95 to $36.95 per person for a three course fondue that includes a green salad.  Diners with sensitive eyes may want to dine early as the air tends to get thick with oil after the first seating.

Geja's boasts a romantic atmosphere, extensive wine list, live entertainment and quality food and service.   It is truly a unique place to dine in Chicago.
