Dear guest, welcome to La Fondue d’ Aruba
How cozy it is for guests and host to gather around a pot and cook.
Cheese fondue was invented in the Alps in French-speaking Switzerland.
Farm families prepared what they had at hand; cheese, wine, and bread for their
evening meal. Cheese was melted in wine; bread cubes were speared on a fork,
dunked, and eaten with gusto.
The name fondue comes from French verb ‘fondre’ which means to melt.
More than 50 years ago a Swiss gourmet had the idea of adapting cheese fondue to
meat. From this experience Fondue Bourguignonne was born.
And the ritual of frying tender pieces of meat in a community pot became a
culinary party. Accompanying sauces, dips, and preserves made the gathering
complete.
Other fondue varieties come from Asia, where for hundreds of years it has been a
tradition to cook meat, vegetables and mushrooms in a hot pot in a well-seasoned
broth.All fondues have one thing in common: Every guest is his own cook!
We hope you have a wonderful evening at our restaurant, and enjoy your dinner.
The staff of La Fondue d’ Aruba
