The Melting Pot, Fondue restaurant in Lee County, United States
The Melting Pot is a fondue restaurant where diners cook their own ingredients at heated tables using cheese, broth, or oil. Each table has built-in heat elements that maintain the right temperature for preparing different courses throughout the meal.
The restaurant chain started in 1975 in Maitland, Florida with a first location that offered just three menu items. From that simple beginning, the fondue concept grew and spread across the country to multiple locations.
Diners become their own cooks at this restaurant, preparing ingredients directly at their table in a social setting. The shared cooking creates moments where people talk, laugh, and enjoy the meal preparation together.
Plan to spend several hours here since the four-course meal involves multiple cooking phases at your table. It helps to arrive hungry and follow the staff guidance on how to cook each course properly.
The restaurant follows a specific four-course structure starting with cheese fondue, moving through salads, then entrees cooked in broth or oil, and ending with chocolate fondue. This sequence allows each phase to use the right cooking method and temperature for the ingredients being prepared.
