La Fonderie

I really enjoyed the time we spent here, the ambiance was pretty nice, our server was great. Just make sure to get a reservation and don't plan on it being a quick meal (which is definitely not a bad thing unless you are in a rush). The food was quite nice. I can definitely recommend the maritime plate and chocolate fondue.

It's a nice atmosphere, I have enjoyed it with my husband. Very busy but food came out fast. Slightly expensive for what you're getting but I really enjoyed the experience. Only down side, I can do everything I got there for half the price of doing it at home.

WOW! Such a better experience that the one in Montreal (rue Rachel), more classy ambiance and an ultra courteous, friendly staff. You get your meat all-you-can-eat and a perfect service, very cozy and perfect place. Quite expensive yes, but you always have a great experience and eat delicious meals

My girlfriend normally loves it raw but when it comes to chicken she likes it cooked.. they forgot to heat our fondue so the raw chiken sat in cold fondue with all the other meat and fish. Had the runs after, thank god there was no accidents when she sat on my face after we ate. Would not recommend .

Service took 35 min to get the raw meet plate. The portion of meet for 1 is probably 200gr for a 35 dollar plate and you have to ask for more sauce since you get about a spoon of sauce quantity size. Not a great deal for your money considering the price. if you would do the same dinner at home you could feed 10 people for the same amount. I do not recommend this restaurant

Excellent place.First time to come in this restaurant, they have 2 chains ( One in Rachel St.) different owner. Food are fresh we took the table d'hote I took the Chinese Fondue Meli Melo which consists of Filet mignon of beef, chicken, and shrimps, mon chum took the Chinese Maritime Tiger Shrimps, Scallops, Atlantic Salmon from entree to dessert delicious and fresh. We went Wednesday night and still everything is fresh. Service is excellent as well waiter is very accomodating, helpful and funny. Price is very reasonable and worth it.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!!

The carrot soup and bread are great! But it is not the regular Chinese hotpot! So I suggest the one who wants to eat the real Chinese hot pot not come here!

Excellent food and top notch service. Price was surprisingly reasonable even with house wine included.

Okay so this was defo one of my food adventure fails, I really do enjoy fondu and when me and my girl had lived together we'd eat it often and I loved it. So I figured if I went out to place that specializes in cooking it it would be great but that wasn't the case. I went here on a Thursday which happened to be ladies night which meant that for 24$ there's was a fixed menu with a salad or soup starter a fondue and coffee or tea. The price was very reasonable and I liked that the fondu that came with it was a mix of chicken beef and shrimp. Where the problems first started for me were at the amount of time it took to order revive water and wait time between courses it took close to 3 hours from the time we walked in to the time we paid for the bill. I found myself starving between my salad and the actual fondu, and when I had to ask the waiter for more dipping sauce it didn't actually get to me until the meal was over. The actual proteins themselves for okay at best the broth itself lacked in flavour and I've had better stuff at home in my living room. The highlights of the meal were the starters and the side of potatoes that came with the meal For the price of the food and the wait time you have a lot of other better options :/

If you're a fan of fondue, this is a great place to visit. As someone who never really has tried genuine fondue at a restaurant it was certainly an entertaining meal. La Fonderie is compact resto, so space can be precious but it's pretty decor makes up for it... so ultimately they've managed to to create an intimate environment that are great for dates as well as group outings. At the end of the meal, I'd definitely lean more on the group thing. Their menu was a bit difficult to fully comprehend so we asked the waiter for our options, he expertly and very nicely given us some great options. He probably gets this A LOT. I ultimately went with their "Maitre-Boucher" "Feast meal" which consisted of a : 1. Entrée of Swiss Cheese Fondue 2. House or Caesar Salad with their Famous Toasted Garlic Bread (I went with Caesar!) 3. Chinese or Bourguignonne Fondue of your Choice (I went with Chinese! With Filet Mignon of Beef, Chicken Breast, Filet of Porc and Marinated Lamb!) 4. Choice of Dessert or Dessert-Coffee (I went with their Fruits!) 5. Regular Coffee or Tea or Herb Tea (I went with Regular Coffee!) The Swiss cheese fondue was very good, the bread that came it was addicting to say the least. I'm glad to report that no cheese remained and we had to push away those evil bread bites as far from us as possible. The Caesar salad was only OK, the salad was alright but the dressing was flavorless and watery. The Garlic Bread was ONCE AGAIN there to entice me. WHY MUST YOU TASTE SO GOOD BREAD? WHY?! SHOO! The meat was served in 2 beautiful platters with a nice variety of sauces that you can dip them in. I really liked this experience but as we ate it seemed to drag on. This might be more enjoyable with a group of people who can chat profusely while the meat cooks slowly in the bouillon/fondue. The meats were fresh, looked great and tasted amazing. The variety of sauces were good and refills were easy to get. My fondue dessert consisted of a few fruits like bananas, pineapples, strawberries and the such in a small pot of delicious chocolate. I believe I found a new love of bananas in hot chocolate. OH MAMA! The regular coffee was upgrade to a cappuccino and it was good. Our waiter was friendly and very attentive to us, I believe when we told him we were on a date night while our daughter was back home being babysat he went out of his way to be very accommodating. Nothing but praise here folks! The price-tag is pretty expensive, so this may not be something I'd do very often unless it's for a special event. I'd recommend to try this place at least once. A few bad notes. We waited 15 minutes when we came in, we had reservations but no one was manning the hostess desk. So our table sat unattended all this time. Oh and another note, the parking was difficult to find say the least. I had to make a spot with my SUV at the far end of the parking lot.

I wrote a review about this place 4 months ago but deleted my account .. I gave this place a 5 star previously .. And then I decided to re-visit it yesterday (on a Sunday)! Unfortunately this time was not what I expected.. Extremely disappointed.. I'm stuck giving it a 2.5 .. But there's no .5 stars.. The Atmosphere this time was ultra dead.. And maybe Ill try to explain why! Ok the BIG BUMMER... They changed the menu! The menu use to include the huge festin where everything was included (choice of soup or salad/ cheese fondu/choice of Chinese or bourgonne oil meat fondue/ and desert chocolate fondue) and you could even share the portions with everyone on the table. Now they eliminated this concept that they were known for.. Now you got to order everything separately which was really dreadful.. We ordered meli melo ( came with beef, chicken, scampi and scallops but we weren't able to order the bourginione oil fondue because we would have to order everything seperately-.- what the hell??? We had to choose the Chinese broth.. And I already had that last time and didn't like it. The desert was not included so we passed that one up. Food was not great this time. I ordered a piña colada but i felt like I was drinking pure Rum!! Yuck it was way too strong and asked to have it re-made but it still was very very strong! Not impressed at all. The service was a disaster but it was not the lady's fault! She was super sweet and caring it was her first day and she took forever to get our bread for the cheese fondue .. Grrr she brought our salad at the same time as the meats .. Which is a big no no.. She kept coming back to ask us what we ordered because she was super confused. She dropped an entire bread bowl on the floor in front of us.. No wonder they are charging us extra for everything they keep losing money with her wasting all the food on the floor. Service was very slow and unprofessional. Overall, this was a big disappointment ! I am never coming back unfortunately.

The cheese fondu was delectable. First time trying Nguyen cheese fondue with tomato and garlic. The chocolate fondue sides were very tasty.

Very fun experience. It was our family's first time dining at a fondue restaurant. We were very pleased with our experience and the service was great! The price for the cheese fondue was more pricy than we would've expected. The melted cheese raclette was 20$ and the sampling chinoise was 23$ (only a 3$ difference for an entree compared to a cheese appetizer). If you're looking to save a few bucks, then it would be best to skip the cheese fondue and go straight for the entree options. The gimlet cocktail was very nice and refreshing. The chocolate fondue with fresh fruits was very tasty and a perfect way to end our meal.
