About

Back in the day, when Savoyard shepherds wanted to warm up, they poured a little coffee and a lot of alcohol into a wooden shoe, hence the name “grolle”. Later, these shepherds made wooden containers that included several holes specifically designed for this recipe. There are now several sizes of grolles depending on the number of guests (from 2 holes to 8 holes). The grolle, also known as the “cup of friendship”, usually gets passed from hand to hand and should not come back on the table until it is finished.

Wow!!! Some of the best cheese & chocolate fondue I've had! Some really good options, but we opted for the classic dishes- recommended by our server (also the owner). A little tucked away up the hill, but absolutely worth the climb!

It is amazing, the cheese fondue is great! & so is the chocolate fondue as a sweet treat in the end. Soo good. Definitely worth a visit. You have to reserve early enough though, they are booked out fast.

If I could give La Grolla 6 stars I would! Highly recommend the 3 course fondue option with cheese, broth & chocolate! Adriane is amazing - the service was spectacular & fun! Go go go!

Very cute little restaurant ! The food was ok, as good as any other fondue place... the cheese fondue didn't seem like much, the Chinese fondue had a good amount of meat.. but nothing to go with it other than potatoes (maybe like 2 per person) & a tiny salad & sauces Then there was a small chocolat fondue, it's not your traditional one but really warm chocolate in a tiny bowl with random fruits around Not super keen of the sarcastic service ...

WOW. We ordered the Fondue Trio as did our two friends--the amount of food was generous, the classic cheese fondue had an incredible rich flavor & consistency, & both the Traditional Chinese (with the BEST, paper-thin beef ever!) & the Seafood (scallops shrimp salmon) version had amazing freshness & quality. The chocolate fondue was delicious,too, but the original finished were just absolutely unbelievable. Wonderful staff.

Had the trio. Cheese fondue coming with bread was nice 🧀🫕. Unexpected Chinese fondue with broth & generous amount of fresh seafood (salmon, scallop & prawn). Wrapped up with chocolate fondue. Good for value. Stylish interior. Great service.

On e of the highlights of our trip to Quebec City. This charming family run restaurant is off the beaten path & an absolute gem. Oliver guided us through the menu & did not disappoint. The raclette is a must- it's an experience not to be missed. We also had cheese fondue & beef fondue , which came with a variety of sauces, all delicious. We finished with the chocolate fondue. It was our last night in Quebec City & I'm so glad we found this place! 10/10!

Cute restaurant with delicious food. Good service as well. The chinese fondue was just meat & broth though, I was honestly expecting it to come with vegetables..One thing that confused me were the portions, since we were ordering from the table dhote menu where you got a cheese fondue, meat & chocolate for dessert. We were 3 couples who each got this, but the dishes were combined- instead of per couple it was a serving for the group. I know I was out with friends but wasn't looking to be sharing between everyone. At the end the chocolate fondue was just a little 2 oz bowl for 6 ppl & it was mostly marshmallows, no fruit or cake to dip
