Nothing says comfort food quite like fondue. Originating in 18th Century Switzerland, this ooey-gooey treat usually consists of melted cheese with wine or brandy, or melted chocolate. As a sociable snack, it’s made its way over to London with a variety of restaurants.
Whether you’re after standard melted cheese, tempting chocolate or even vegan fondue, we’ve gathered the best fondue places in London. Each one is just a stone’s throw away from our Central London hotels, so you’re never far if you over-indulge.
St. Moritz Restaurant
This fondue London Soho eatery has a particularly special accolade. It’s the oldest Swiss restaurant in the capital, having turned 50 years old in 2024. Under the guidance of head chef Armin Loetscher, St. Moritz carefully oversees every recipe to capture those authentic Swiss cheese flavours.
As you dine here, you’ll be transported to a Swiss chalet environment, where not only can you sample a large range of cheese and chocolate fondues, but a smorgasbord of Swiss cuisine. Try traditional Veau Zurichoise, Bratwurst and Rosti, or the seasonal Berne Platte and Venison.
If you’re looking for wine pairings, you’re in luck there too. Delight your palate with Emmental and Gruyère cheese complemented by Pinot Noir, Chasselas Suisse and much more. You can find this fondue London Soho restaurant on 161 Wardour Street, W1F 8WJ.

Munich Cricket Club
Feeling really hungry? Try this bottomless fondue London brunch, courtesy of the Bavarian bierkeller that is Munich Cricket Club. While it’s known for being one of the liveliest fondue places in London, there’s plenty more to excite the senses – including cocktails.
Share a stein of beer over a hearty brunch featuring the finest German cheeses, or pick at lighter bites from baked pretzels to Bavarian meat loaf. As you dine, you’ll be treated to live music and a cheerful atmosphere from the staff, echoing the authentic German bierkeller experience across London. You’ll find Munich Cricket Club in three locations so you’re spoilt for choice: Victoria, Tower Hill and Canary Wharf.
Kahve Dunyasi
This chocolate fondue London restaurant is Turkish in origin, specialising in delectable desserts and snacks. This is your ideal spot for chatting with friends over a coffee – and if you’re in the mood for a sweet treat, try their signature chocolate fondue.
Made with expertly chosen cocoa beans, the fondue maintains its mouthwatering texture with a heating candle. Served with fresh fruit, it offers a velvety taste with Turkish origins at the heart, dating all the way back to 2004. Today, the brand has expanded all over the world but stays true to its roots with a cosy, inviting atmosphere. You’ll find Kahve Dunyasi on Piccadilly in the heart of the city.
Pieminster
For a step away from the traditional cheese fondue, Pieminster is a gravy fondue London bar! As the name suggests, everything is unapologetically British, so come here for traditional pub grub where gravy is the star of the show. Dip your classic favourites into a savoury gravy including roast potatoes and steak and peppercorn pies.
If that wasn’t enough, Pieminster is also B-Corp certified, so you can eat knowing you’re giving something back. You can dine in at Borough Market, or even order ‘pies in the post’ for that authentic British taste all year long. Head to 8 Southwark Street to experience the gravy train for yourself.
