Founded in 1982 by Luiz Tomasini, Le Chalet de la Fondue is one of Brazil's first houses devoted to fondue. Between wooden walls, crystal chandeliers and the aroma of melted cheese, marriage proposals, anniversaries and memories spanning generations were born.
Today the restaurant remains in the family's hands — Luiz and his daughters — keepers of the motto that guides every detail of the house.
“The art of serving well.” — The Tomasini family
Candlelight, sheepskin-draped chairs and a saxophone drifting through the room on Saturdays. Gramado's favorite setting for proposals, celebrations and unforgettable dinners.
Every corner of the chalet has its own mood — from the main room, with furs and crystal, to the mezzanine, perfect for dinner for two. On Saturdays, a saxophonist plays through the night.
Around 120 Brazilian and imported labels await in the house cellar: from the house sparkling Cuvée du Chalet to Dom Pérignon, with alcohol-free options and staff pairing suggestions for every fondue.
Take a walk through the chalet: the illuminated facade, the room of furs and crystal, and the atmosphere waiting for you. Press play.

“Amazing food and even a free private taxi back to your hotel after dinner. Great quality steak with 15 sauces, and the best chocolate Gramado has to offer. A romantic date-night vibe. 10/10.”
