Our fondues are made from the finest French, Dutch, and of course, Swiss cheeses from our neighbors, De Kaaskamer van Amsterdam. Each cheese is personally and carefully selected, melted, and served with artisanal bread and fresh seasonal vegetables.
For over a quarter of a century, they were neighbors. A brown literary café and a specialty cheese shop filled with cheese from floor to ceiling. Café De Doffer and De Kaaskamer van Amsterdam. Both are well-known landmarks in the city center. Since January 2022, these two establishments have merged into Restaurant Smelt. The world’s home for cheese fondue lovers.
At Smelt, everything revolves around cheese fondue. The starters, main courses, and desserts are all designed to complement the pot of liquid gold. Our wines are also carefully selected, with the perfect pairing for every type of fondue. Curious to find out which fondue suits you best? Book your table here. And did you know that at Smelt, you can order a fondue per person? This way, you and your company can enjoy three different fondues together.
On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, you can also join us for lunch at Smelt. We serve our fondues, toasties, and now also the Smelt Cheese-fondue-burger. A burger dripping with cheese, a burger to melt away! And don’t think of a tasteless tiny slice of cheese on your burger when you think of Smelt, here we pour a pan of cheese fondue over your burger right on the spot.
Smelt is looking for new colleagues in service and the kitchen. Passion for cheese is a must! Will you join our team? Send a message with your resume and motivation to info@restaurantsmelt.nl.

Yes, we sell some of our fondues ready-made at De Kaaskamer van Amsterdam in De 9-Straatjes in Amsterdam.
At Restaurant Smelt, we cook with wines that have a low alcohol content (0.5%). During cooking, some of the alcohol evaporates, reducing the alcohol percentage even further. Our beer fondue(s) contain higher alcohol percentages and are therefore not suitable for pregnant women.
