There is nothing more warming and comforting than sitting in a cosy restaurant, surrounded by friends with a giant vat of cheese or chocolate or whatever fondue you decide to go for sitting front and centre. With a wide selection of dipping options, the excitement of being able to control how much or little you can douse your food in cheese is satisfying to say the least. With all that in mind, we’ve decided to round-up a list of the best spots to go for your fondue fix in the city. All you have to do is wait for the weather to cool down. Or don’t, we aren’t here to judge.
We’ve separated this article into sections so if it is sweet fondues you’re after check them out below, after the savoury ones.
Savoury Fondue
Mostly enjoyed on mountain tops and in ski resorts, savoury fondue screams winter comfort food. Thankfully, although mostly found in high and cold places there are places you can get the melty, cheesy goodness in London. Check out our picks of the best cheese fondue below.

Why: Hailed as London’s longest-standing and most authentic Swiss restaurant, St Moritz keeps things old school. We mean this in the literal sense, as up until recently, bookings for this restaurant were only taken by fax. Booking methods aside though, if its authentic fondues you are after, a visit to St Mortiz is a no brainer. From the classic cheese Neuchateloise fondue to fondue bourguignonne with cubes of beef ready to cook in bubbling oil, St Moritz will make you feel more like you’re in the Swiss Alps than on the streets of London.

Why: Residing in a shipping container in POP Brixton, Alpes gives you a little taste of French mountains without leaving London.

Both served with baguette and pickles of course.

Sweet Fondue
Cheese fondue is all well and good, but sometimes you just fancy dipping into a huge vat of melted chocolate. Enter chocolate fondue. The sweet version of its savoury counterpart, it will satisfy almost any sweet tooth, be careful though, because when you start, you’ll find it hard to stop.

Godiva Café at Harrods

Why: There is nothing more luxurious when it comes to chocolate then Godiva, which is why the Godiva chocolate café at Harrods is a must visit for chocoholics everywhere.

This one is a little pricier than your average chocolate fondue, but we promise it’s worth it.
