Brighton's Best Cheese Fondue
Shelter Hall
The cheese fondue recipe here is ideal for dunking at Shelter Hall in Brighton. Nab a French twist on the oozing accompaniment on their alpine Christmas menu, which includes pretzels to have with hot cranberry-covered camembert fondue. It might not be traditional, but it sure is tasty and the apres-ski theme continues across two more courses.
These guys are spicing up fondue ideas with a French twist.
Bill's
For cheese fondue in the UK, Bill's is a great shout - and the Brighton branch is no exception. This country-wide favourite is dishing it out in a handy sourdough bread bowl, so there's even more to chow down on. Not only that, but this beauty is also topped off by an extra-lavish touch of truffle. To follow? Grab an all-day brunch or mains like nduja burrata meatballs and Goan sea bass curry.
The international menu here is sure to hit the spot.
Zizzi
Brighton fondue doesn't get much better than the offering at Zizzi, where you'll have the starter of 'little soul breads' before munching all kinds of crowd-pleasing favourites - think pizza, pasta and chicken Milanese. But this cheesy haven doesn't stop there, as loaded Bolognese fries and a choice of 'chocolate melt' or tiramisu for dessert also awaits.
Enjoy your molten cheese as a warm-up to an Italian main.
Thewitchez
One of our favourite fondue restaurants in Brighton, Thewitchez, serves up the stuff all year round. You'll have to pre-order before going in, yet it's well worth the extra effort. A selection of fresh or pickled veggies and bread completes the two-person feast, giving you an authentic taste of the dish. To top it off? There's a glass of wine each included too.
If 'the best cheese fondue near me' is always on your Brightonian mind, then Thewitchez is a great restaurant choice.
