Hello Folks,

I'm looking for a Fondue restaurant to take my lady to for her birthday. Seems there are slim pickings. Anyone know of any restaurants in the area?

I've never heard of anywhere that does this, but having one at home could be just as nice.

I don't remember if it was chocolate or cheese, but I'm 99.9% sure I saw a sign at "Tucker's Marketplace" advertising a fondue thing for Valentine's Day. Perhaps not the most romantic of environs, but just squire her across the street to Vineyard's for drinks afterwards...

I forget what it's called but it's in the basement of Mother Tucker's in the market. We went with friends for New Years 2 years ago and it was pretty good but they give a LOT of food and they don't cut the chicken thinly enogh so it takes forever to cook. Other than that it's good.

They give you 3 courses. Cheese/bread - veggy/meat/broth - chocolate/fruit

Further to kmennie's tip, I seem to remember Tucker's Marketplace having a fondue thing in their basement way back but it might not be there anymore. As far as I know the ultimate place is Meule et Caquelon, over on the Quebec side: Meule et Caquelon

I haven't been there myself though. I made a large fondue from scratch a couple weeks ago because I had a kilogram of Gruyere that needed using up. Most of the time I just buy the pre-made packages -- they're indistinguishable from the real thing.

It's in Gatineau: click here...

Hi! new poster, longtime reader! I know Foundation Restaurant in the market has fondue. It looked really good the last time I was there.

There is a fondue restaurant at the lac leamy Casino only open on certain nights.
It's in the Salon Royal and there's lots of different combinations. I wanted to go before but it was only open on certain nights. Would be perfect for what you're looking for.
