Fondue restaurant · Lincoln Park

"Geja’s is definitely Chicago’s darkest restaurant. After all, you know any restaurant where the servers need to carry around flashlights to help you with the menu is dark. And that’s what happens at this fondue spot that’s been around in Lincoln Park since 1965. Besides the flashlights and the little blue flames from the fondue pots, the main sources of light here are the glowing red bulbs scattered throughout the space. So if you’ve ever wanted to combine eating with developing photos in a 1970s darkroom, this is the place to do it." - adrian kane
