Good for special occasions

For over 59 years, fondue dining at Geja’s Café has been a favorite indulgence for Chicagoans as well as out-of-towners. It’s a perfect way to kindle romance, celebrate a special occasion or simply join family and friends for a fun and unforgettable dining experience.
To start we offer a Swiss Gruyere cheese fondue, served with fresh breads, fruits and vegetables for dipping. Our crisp house salad, dressed with tangy Dijon vinaigrette, offers a counterpoint to the rich, warm cheese fondue appetizer.
Next, you’ll cook your choices of Australian lobster tail, Gulf shrimp, beef tenderloin, fresh sea scallops or boneless chicken breast in a pot of sizzling soybean oil or broth. The main course is served with fresh vegetables and eight gourmet dipping sauces.
Our famous chocolate fondue is flamed table-side, and presented with marshmallows for roasting and other delectable dippers.

A 4 % operational fee is added to all checks to work in concert with Chicago's One Fair Wage Ordinance.

Wonderful night with friendly staff who go above and beyond. Bravo to Gejas - a beloved restaurant in Chicago that has stayed relevant and top notch since it opened in the 1960s. So impressed.

Gejas is such a fun experience. The vibe is unique, intimate and cozy. The cocktails are spot on, the wine list is diverse, and the food is high quality and delicious. I love the rich history of the restaurant as well. If you’re looking for a cozy date spot, give Gejas a whirl.
