We happened upon this cozy , quiet place during a night when the temp was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. We were going to try a place across the street that was Portuguese but the line was out the door- people crazy enough to stand outside- we said "no way: to that and the place across the street famous for its poutine with a line of what looked like millennials out the door and saw the sign for La Fonderie. Given the cold we dashed across the street and were warmly welcomed. The staff was cordial and attentive. We did appetizer and the basic fondue and it was delicious and satisfying. A great find.
