Go ahead. Poke, prod, dip and twirl. Alas, La Fondue, located at Ortega Highway and Camino Capistrano in San Juan Capistrano, is a place where playing with your food is perfectly acceptable. Fondue, along with Tupperware and shag carpeting, may have peaked in the late 1960s but these melting pot meals are making a comeback. Guests at this upscale eatery assume the roles of chef by preparing their own meals tabletop. While meat and seafood are among the entree choices, cheese and chocolate fondue still ranks the highest among devoted dippers. The wine list is also impressive (and no, you're not required to stomp on any grapes in order to enjoy it).

Anniversary at La Fondue
By GateRaven on 05/16/2008
We had the most wonderful time at La Fondue. Everything was perfect from the excellent courteous service to the romantic elegant and fun ambiance. The food was out of this world, even though we had the fun of doing our own cooking--everything was fresh and delicious. I have been recommending it to all my friends as the perfect place for a special occasion. And since the prices are most reasonable why not make any occasion special by going to La Fondue.

Unique & Wonderful Restaurant
By xconfusdclarityx on 02/06/2008
I went to La Fondue with my boyfriend and we had such a great time. Everything was just wonderful. The food was delicious, the ambience and décor of the restaurant was chic and eclectic, and the service was great. Our server was so nice and was there to help anytime we needed something. We ordered a nice bottle of wine and one of their combination dinners (a 4 course meal!) that came with salads, a cheese fondue, a dinner platter with all types of different meats and finally a chocolate fondue (my absolute favorite) for dessert. Perfect restaurant for any occasion: to go on a date, with friends or family. My birthday is coming up and I’m definitely going there for dinner to celebrate with friends. I would recommend this restaurant in a heartbeat.

Great Service & Great Food!

When I went to La Fondue I had a fabulous experience! The service was great & the food was amazing! They really do have everything on their menu from Chicken to Alligator... I was told the alligator tastes like chicken, however I'm too scared to try it! It is such a fun experience because you actually get to cook all your own food! My family and I at a wonderful time there and I would recommend it to anyone!

Best Restaurant ever!!
By cphvnfun on 11/10/2007
I have now fonud my most favorite restaurant in the OC. La Fondue was amazing. The decor and the service was like no restaurant I have been to in the OC. I started off with a spinich salad that was so fresh and crisp I could harldy put it down considering I had three more courses on the way. The cheese fondue was a traditional swiss mixed with garlic and nutmeg which hit the spot . I had wild boar, bufflo, lobster and some kobe for my entree. The meets were so tender they melted in my mouth. The chocolate was pure ecstasy. With their generous portions I left so full but I cant wait to come back again.
