November is National Fondue Month, and Calgary restaurants are giving us plenty of reasons to grab a fork.
From rich melted cheese to silky chocolate, these eateries prove why fondue never goes out of style. We’ve rounded up some of Calgary’s best fondue spots.
Fondue has a way of turning simple ingredients into something memorable. Melted cheese or smooth chocolate and slow, shared bites bring people together in the most comforting way. It’s rich, social and timeless, and Calgary has plenty of spots keeping the tradition alive.

Bitter Sisters Brewing Co.
510 Heritage Dr SW
Bitter Sisters adds a fun, casual twist to the fondue scene with its beer cheese fondue, a creamy blend made with their own house-brewed ale. Served warm with soft pretzels, veggies and house made bread for dipping — comfort food at its best — especially alongside a pint straight from the source.
