Description

Modest, friendly triangular-shaped café, with tiled floor, wooden tables and chairs, a couch, and counters looking out on Columbus, tries to be everything for the neighborhood: free WiFi, wine and beer, nights devoted to open mike, projected movies, trivia contests. Fare includes breakfast eggs, bagels, panini, salads, and soup. We are especially impressed by their excellent fondue, which is the real deal, served with salad, cubed bread, apples, and grapes.

    When I read "Swiss Bliss," Jeffrey Steingarten's exhaustive piece on fondue in the February issue of Vogue, I figured it was just the famously oppositional epicure getting around to experimenting — his way — with a much-maligned dish. His way... More »

  • 2008 | Best Fondue

    Who'd think that the best fondue in San Francisco was hiding in plain sight at a cozy neighborhood cafe in North Beach that offers free wi-fi, projected movies, open-mic nights, and trivia contests, in addition to coffee and light fare? Maybe the place's name should have been the tip-off. Anyway, Melt's fondues come in four flavors (classic Neufchatel, Welsh Rarebit, Scrumpy Rarebit, and Stout Rarebit), and two sizes (serving two for $30, three to four for $40, but more in actuality). They... More »
