SAY BONJOUR TO “FONDUE CHALET”- MELBOURNE’S NEWEST FRENCH ALPINE FOODIE EXPERIENCE AT FED SQUARE

Fondue Chalet
Melburnians, get ready to escape to the French Alps, right in the heart of the city! For six weeks only, from Thursday, 15 May to Sunday, 22 June 2025, Fed Square will be transformed into an authentic French alpine village, hosting a one-of-a-kind melted cheese dining experience. Step into the warmth of your private mountain chalet and indulge in a traditional French cheese fondue—just like in the Alps.

From snowfall to a team of French waiters and the inviting aroma of mulled wine, this immersive pop-up dining experience is brought to life by BBR Group Australia-the creators of Melbourne’s wildly popular Raclette Igloo Experience, which wowed crowds for five weeks in 2023.

Fondue Chalet offers a one-of-a-kind journey into the magic of a French alpine village. With eighteen private wooden chalets and two tonnes of cheese imported from France, you and your group of six to eight an indulge in a traditional fondue from the French Alps in your own cosy chalet—each with its own fire pit.

SIP ON MULLED WINE IN OUR FRENCH ALPINE VILLAGE, FEAST WITH YOUR LOVED ONES IN YOUR PRIVATE CHALET, ENJOY OUR TRADITIONAL FRENCH FONDUE, KEEP WARM AND TOAST MARSHMALOWS AROUND THE FIRE PIT.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with mulled wine and transported to a charming French mountain village, where everything -including the staff, is authentically French!

Your fondue guide will lead you to your private chalet and serve a bubbling pot of traditional cheese fondue from Savoie (region in the French Alps). Expect nothing but the best; the cheese is imported from France, and the recipe has been crafted in collaboration with French cheesemongers to ensure a true taste of the Alps.

Tear into crunchy bread and dive into our rich pot of goodness, savour cured meats and indulge in a selection of à la carte French wines curated to complete your foodie adventure. As you gather around your own fire pit, roast marshmallows and create memories. No passport required.

“Fondue Chalet is all about bringing people together, it’s an authentic French winter tradition to share a fondue with your loved ones after a day in the mountains,” says Vincent Hernandez, Founder & Managing Director of BBR Group Australia. “After seeing how much Melbourne fell in love with our Raclette Igloo Experience, we decided to take it a step further by importing chalets and alpine cheeses from France to recreate this unique melted cheese experience from the Alps, right here in Fed Square.”

LIMITED SEATS, UNLIMITED INDULGENCE: THE ULTIMATE FRENCH CHEESE & CHOCOLATE FONDUE COMBO.

Fondue Chalet
To delight both cheese and chocolate lovers, we’ve created exclusive sessions that celebrate the best of both worlds!

Our traditional French alpine fondue is a rich blend of Comté, Beaufort, Emmental, and Vacherin, melted to perfection with a splash of white wine, a hint of kirsch, and a dash of spices.
