Authentic French Cuisine & Swiss-Style Fondues in Neutral Bay
Established in 2000, CJ's French Fondue Restaurant has been a cherished culinary destination in Neutral Bay for over two decades. Our family-owned business builds upon decades of expertise in French cuisine, tracing our roots back to Le Petit Savoyard (1981-1997), where we first introduced Sydney to authentic Swiss-style fondues. Specializing in both traditional French dishes and interactive dining experiences, we offer a cozy 40-seat venue perfect for intimate gatherings, romantic evenings, or special celebrations. Our menu features meticulously crafted Swiss cheese fondues, flame-cooked meat and seafood fondues, and indulgent chocolate fondues, complemented by classic French entrees and mains.Located on Military Road's bustling thoroughfare, we maintain the nostalgic charm of 1980s fondue culture while delivering contemporary service standards. With seasonal offerings like winter's candle-lit chocolate fondues and summer's fresh seafood preparations, we cater to both regular patrons and special occasion bookings. Our team's generational knowledge ensures every dish reflects authentic French techniques, from our signature Gorgonzola gnocchi to perfectly seared steaks with classic sauces. Whether through our BYO policy with minimal corkage fees or our flexible private function options, we prioritize creating memorable dining experiences that exceed customer expectations.
