Tried the Fondue

On the last day that Mike's parents were here, we went to a small restaurant called Cafe Midi. They specialized in Fondue and that's just what we had in mind for that meal. Luckily, the waitress was able to understand and speak English fairly well, so we asked her what she recommended as our first ever fondue experience!

She suggested a half/ half fondue, it had 2 different types of cheeses blended together with a white wine. It was supposed to be the mildest flavor.

They brought the fondue in a small pot on top of it's own flame to keep the cheese melted and hot. It was also served with bread and small potatoes to dip in the fondue using our skewers. It was a unique flavor and very filling! I didn't need to eat a lot to get filled up.

I don't think we will ever have fondue again (it wasn't that amazing), but I am so glad that we tried it while here in Switzerland-where it was invented and a big part of their lifestyle.

  1. I love fondue! I spotted a fondue restaurant on our honeymoon and begged Jacob to take me. He has never had fondue and wasn't real interested in trying it either. He would agree with you both that it isn't that great, but it sure fills you up. Did you just have a cheese dish?
