Cafe Fondue

Fondue-specialty restaurant

Café Fondue was founded by Jae and Glenn Ford, in Merrillville, IN in 1997. Jae who had lived in Europe for over 12 years, had a passion to enable those who have had fondue while in Europe, to once again remember the ambience and taste experience here at home. She also believed that others would appreciate fondue as it was meant to be served and enjoyed. Since opening in 1997 Café Fondue has expanded it menu to over 36 selections, and we are continuing to evaluate new additions to our menu.

Café Fondue offer’s a unique dining experience in which our guests, can relax and enjoy the European atmosphere, friendly service and an unforgettable taste experience. At Café Fondue quality service and customer satisfaction are our primary objectives.
