Where to find the best fondue in Vancouver

There’s hardly a food more comforting than melted cheese, and lucky for us, fondue is the socially acceptable version of this decadent dish.

Whether you’re dipping it in fresh sourdough or pouring it over potatoes and cured meat, fondue just screams comfort on a cold, winter night.

The dish had its heyday back in the 1960s and has since dwindled in popularity, but its retro vibes and fun, social aspect (also the cheese – did we mention melted cheese?) makes us want to bring it back in a big way.

Here’s where to get the best fondue in Vancouver.

It might not be traditional fondue, but this seriously epic dish deserves a spot on this list anyways. La Mezcaleria’s signature molten cheese fondue, or Quesdo Fundido, is served in a volcanic stone bowl and is served with six tortillas. You can opt to add chorizo, mushrooms, and more.
