As a fondue lover I had to try this place after my friend went. I've been talking about it to my boyfriend and of course he surprised me on Valentine's Day awww! Fondissimo is attached to another resto called le shop you just gotta go to the left and behind and you'll see a projected image of the name on the wall, hard to miss. We were greeted by a tall male hostess who gave us a great seat by the window with loads of candles ( my fav ) We of course got the cheese fondue and Chinese fondue because that's the way to go. Unfortunately the cheese fondue wasn't very good, tasted like an iga store bought one. We got traditional so if I were to come back I would skip the cheese entirely or try something else that didn't taste so generic. It is BYOW so I wasn't expecting the cheese to be grade a like in Paris. Chinese fondue was great, we went with the marinated pork and beef slices. Pork takes a while to cook so that's a bit annoying but the beef cooked within seconds. If you're feeling more adventurous you can get all the fun meats, kangaroo, camel and etc. We didn't talk and appetizers as nothing really jumped out at us. But we decided that dessert to go was a must. We chose the cheese cake which was a really good home made cream cheese, with a crumble crust which was perfect. The restaurant and service was great but at the end their was a mix up with the tip so they emailed us right away because the tip was more then our meal. That was very nice of them and just for that reason only they get 4 stars. 5 stars if they get a real cheese fondue :) read more

I enjoyed this restaurant. The cheese fondue was good but nothing to write home about. The chinese fondue was better - bouillon was tasty and meat portions were reasonable. I liked the duck and beef slices the best. The tartar as an entree was good as well. Service by our waitress Florence was the best part of the meal. It's nice that it is a BYOB. read more

This is a great bring your own wine fondue restaurant in Magog, but not in the best part of town. There are a variety of cheese and Chinese fondues to choose from. The waitress we had was friendly and explained to us the menu. My wife and I got the Ange Cornu. I took the Swiss Normand and my wife took the Suisse Traditionelle as an entrée, our main courses was the Chinese fondue, and we each took the chocolate fondue for desert. I was starving when I arrived at the restaurant and normally after I finish a fondue, I'm more than satisfied, but when we are done, I still felt a little hungry. Even my wife who normally leaves me part of her meal finished everything. Overall, I have to say that if you are really hungry, you may still feel hungry when you leave and the menu is a little pricy for the quantity of food you get. read more

Fantastic experience. It is BYOB. Located in an industrial building the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Had the classic trio of cheese fondue, oil for cooking meats and seafood, and chocolate fondue w sponge cake and fruit for dipping. The salmon, shrimp and thinly sliced steak was excellent. Good kids' fondue menu and prices too. We had driven 45 minutes across the border from Jay Peak, VT and it was worth it! Only reason not five stars is the service took a long time. Yes they were busy and we were a large group but the waitresses seemed overwhelmed, and it was hard to get their attention for much of anything. That said, an excellent experience, and when I am back at Jay, I will definitely go back! Note: Border guards are cranky - both the Canadian and US. read more

It was a pleasant atmosphere, the service was good and the fondu was excellent! I would recommend the classic fondu starter. We had 6 different meats between my wife and I, we enjoyed each option. read more

My husband and I ate dinner at the recommendation of our B&B host. So it's it's a bring your own bottle restaurant, the total cost was very reasonable. My husband had the table de hote with cheese fondue and I had a seasoned pork and sliced beef fondue. This way we could split the appetizer and dessert read more

We were excited to visit Fondissimo after a recommendation from a long time Magog visitor and after reading the reviews. The food was great and there was lots of it. We tried both the cheese and broth fondues and some had chocolate fondue for dessert. All quite tasty. The review is not great as the service was very, very slow. We waited more than 15 min before anyone came to the table. We brought our own wine and ended up pouring ourselves glasses before any water was even offered. We asked for bread as we were pretty hungry by that point. We waited another 1/2 hour before the waiter came to explain the menu and then waited longer for them to come and take the order. By the time the food arrived, people were tired. Didn't expect a quick meal but also didn't expect to be there for over 3 hours. It was a busy night at the restaurant but every restaurant we have been to on this trip was busy; this was the first where we were left feeling annoyed. read more

Amazing! Food is delicious and great ambiance. It is not on the cheap side but very tasty and with the money.

My husband, two teenagers and I drove from Jay Peak, Vermont and had a wonderful time. The fondue was yummy and fun to do. They even had gluten free bread for me. We will definitely recommend this restaurant and plan on returning with our daughter and son-in-law when they visit. read more

My husband and I ate here after reading the reviews on Yelp. The food was fantastic and the fact that you could BYOB was great. Their menu is in french only but they were very accommodating in explaining everything. There is a review that said that you did not get enough food which I found shocking. I was plenty full. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

It's been 3 years since I've been to Magog. The last time we were here we ate at Fondissimo and since that time I have told countless people about what I've come to call "my favorite restaurant ever". The reasons are many: it's location in Magog which is a favorite getaway. It's location in an old factory which has been expertly renovated into a cozy, rustic beautifully lit space perfect for a romantic dinner. The friendly charming staff did their best to speak English and we were able to easily (and humorously) communicate our needs. The 3 course fondue dinner starting with cheese, then a beef broth for meats and finally choice of dessert was divine (cheesecake and tiramisu). The timing of courses allowed for a leisurely experience perfect for savoring the experience. And the byob bottle of wine kept the total price reasonable lol. Having returned again last week we were happy to see nothing has changed. It's still as close to a perfect dining experience as I've had. Can't wait to return. read more
