Cheese Fondue for Christmas 2026, Tietzes Catering, Zurich

CHRISTMAS 2026

FONDUE EXPERIENCE

The Atmosphere

Warmth. Community. Time together.
The Fondue Experience celebrates the best of Swiss dining culture: sitting together at the table, sharing, and enjoying. Without rushing, without strict rules, and without distractions. Instead, the focus is on good conversation, authentic ingredients, and the shared experience.
Candlelight, steaming caquelons, and lovingly set tables create an atmosphere where people come together, share stories, and stay longer than planned. Because often, it’s precisely these evenings that you’ll still remember years later.

The Experience

Fondue comes in many forms. Sometimes traditional, sometimes surprisingly modern, sometimes vegetarian, or inspired by the world’s coastlines. All these variations have one thing in common: they bring people together around a table and turn a meal into an experience.

The Signature Moment

Sharing

The moment when everyone starts at the same time.
The first piece of bread disappears into the fondue. The first pieces of meat are placed in the broth. Vegetables, fish, and specialty dishes are shared, tasted, and passed around.
Guests become hosts, and a meal becomes a shared experience.

Everyone loves fondue.

Our fondue experiences include cheese fondue, fondue chinoise, fondue bourguignonne, and modern vegetarian and pescatarian hot pot variations.

Cheese Fondue
A fresh take on the Swiss classic. Carefully selected cheese blends, homemade breads, seasonal fruits, vegetables, and delicious accompaniments make every fondue a unique moment of indulgence.

Fondue Bourguignonne
Roasted flavors, select cuts of meat, and a variety of accompaniments make this version a special treat for meat lovers. A convivial, uncomplicated, and thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Fondue Chinoise
Rich broth, tender cuts of meat, and homemade sauces ensure hours of culinary delight at the table. The crowning finale is the broth, which has been refined throughout the evening and is served and presented in the traditional manner.

Hot Pot Garden – Vegetarian Chinoise
A modern vegetarian take featuring aromatic vegetable broth, a variety of mushrooms, fresh vegetables, tofu specialties, and homemade dips. Surprisingly versatile and full of flavor.

Hot Pot Coastal – Chinoise Pescatarian
Fish, seafood, and an aromatic fish broth come together to create a maritime fondue experience. Fresh, elegant, and inspired by the world’s most beautiful coastal regions.
