I'm convinced it's one of the best choices on the menu. Later I met locals who had their birthdays there and I realized it is a very special place for locals and tourists alike. If you go ask, for the lower dining room. Forget your cellphone it won't work anyway. Enjoy the warm fondue and atmosphere for a while. Gluten free bread is also available. In a sweet area with lots of cool vintage shopping spots and a dance school! What a delicious dream.

    This was my first time having fondue and maybe it's just not for me. We arrived for a late dinner…read moreat 11 PM and it's generally recommended to make a reservation. The staff were all friendly and spoke English as well, so it was easy to order. They offer many types of cheese from regions of France, we ordered one of the cheese fondues and a salad. The fondues come with potatoes and bread. We enjoyed the salad and it provided some much needed veggies. The cheese fondue comes in a hotpot and you dip the bread and potatoes into it with a fondue fork. After trying it, I think I prefer cheese only when it's paired with meat, so I probably should've ordered the one with meat. It was also really late and I was quite tired from being out all day, so that may have also contributed to me feeling subpar about the meal. However, if you're a cheese lover, this restaurant should be right up your alley. Come here if you love cheese!

They only accept cash that day due to credit card system down. Fortunately we bring enough cash to enjoy this location. This is Fondue restaurant. But we are trying something different. We have the oil fry work and stone grilled for meat. We got the three meat special- chicken, duck and beef. It accompanied the veggies - bell pepper, tomato, onion, mushroom and cucumber. Those veggies is good for the stone grill. We also got the meat grilled on the preheat stone. The spice on it make it nice including the olive oil. The fried oil section also great. We got all three different meat for the experience. The restaurant owner is very welcoming. Love his hospitality. We love the food and experience.

We did one meat and 1 cheese and it was the perfect combo. Great little space in a busy area for lots of dining options but this was tucked in a nice quiet corner, with outdoor seating. Service was great and prices very reasonable.

    Based on the menu and your photos, it looks like you ordered the Savoyard Fondue along with the…read morePlain Savoie Raclette (250g). The raclette came exactly as it should in the French Alps: generous slices of raclette cheese melted fresh over boiled potatoes, accompanied by a beautiful selection of cured meats (ham, prosciutto, and saucisson), cornichons, pearl onions, and a simple green salad with a light vinaigrette. The fondue was served in a traditional pot with cubes of rustic bread for dipping. Here's a polished review: If you're looking for an authentic taste of the French Alps in Paris, Les Fondus de La Raclette is a gem. We ordered the Savoyard Fondue and the Plain Savoie Raclette, and both were outstanding. The fondue was rich, silky, and deeply flavorful, with the perfect balance of Alpine cheeses. Paired with crusty bread, every bite was comforting and indulgent. The raclette was the highlight of the meal. Thick slices of melted Savoie cheese were generously scraped over warm potatoes and served with an assortment of high-quality cured meats, cornichons, pearl onions, and a fresh green salad. The combination of creamy cheese, savory charcuterie, tangy pickles, and crisp vegetables was simple yet absolutely delicious, just as traditional raclette should be. Beyond the food, the experience was made even better by the warm hospitality. The owner personally welcomed us, making us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived. Our server was friendly, attentive, and took the time to explain the dishes and ensure everything was perfect. The restaurant itself is cozy and charming, with warm wood interiors, rustic Alpine décor, and an inviting atmosphere that transports you straight to a mountain chalet in the French Alps. Despite being in the heart of Paris, it feels intimate, authentic, and wonderfully unpretentious. A memorable meal with exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger over another glass of wine and one more bite of melted cheese. I would happily return the next time I'm in Paris.

Our server was super helpful in picking out a mix of meats and cheeses--we ended up doing both fondue and raclette, and everything was delicious! The whole experience was fun and relaxed, and the staff really worked hard to make sure we had a great night. Our kids loved getting to grill their own food at the table--it made the meal even more exciting for them! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

    Best accidental discovery ever!…read more We were wandering the streets of Paris on our last night looking for a restaurant for one last memorable meal. On a whim we came in here because we saw that they served fondue and we thought that would be a good idea for supper. The restaurant name translates into "Fortunate like Alexander" in English. Did that ever turn out to be a fantastic decision. Read on to hear why. The restaurant's owner has to be one of the kindest, charismatic people that I have ever met. He welcomed us with open arms and we got to chat with him quite a bit and learn more about him. He also was very kind to us and gave us many free drinks just because he was a very generous person. This was completely unexpected and we were really grateful for this. In addition to a welcoming owner the atmosphere here in general was just relaxing and inviting. We got talking to the people at the table next to us and it turns out that they were regulars who lived in the neighbourhood and came here frequently because they had befriended the own. Meanwhile two buskers came by who played some mellow guitar music to add to the ambiance. Now I can finally talk about the food. We ordered a simple cheese fondue and it was wildly delicious. It came out very quickly and we enjoyed every mouthful. We were given plenty of bread to soak it all up and there was also a salad included so we could get some vegetables. Honestly my experience was so good here that I was almost sad to leave the restaurant at the end of the night. We wanted a memorable, final meal in Paris and boy did we ever get it. After eating here I feel fortunate like Alexander.
