If you're visiting Magog, QC or nearby - do not miss having dinner at Fondissimo! The restaurant specializes in fondue and it is possible to have cheese fondue as an appetizer, meat fondue for the main course and chocolate fondue for dessert. While this is...possible - it would be an enormous amount of food! We had their salmon tartare as an appetizer - it was well done and beautifully presented, fresh and very good. For our main course we had two different cheese fondues. Fondissimo has several varieties of cheese fondue and since we couldn't agree on one, we had two. The fondue arrives in bowl atop a heater. Next a cutting board arrives with a bowl of bread cubes the perfect size for dipping, a small dish of pickles, a small dish of cubed apples, a small dish of chorizo sausage and a mayo-based dipping sauce. I, incorrectly, thought this was the entire meal. Then a plate FULL of fresh vegetables arrived - all for dipping in the cheese fondue! There was broccoli, cauliflower, fresh mushrooms, carrots, radish slices, and much more. I quickly switched from dipping bread to dipping veggies in the fondue. By the time I'd finished the veggies, I was very satisfied.
Then we were offered dessert, most of them made in-house. I took the tiramisu but confess I was too full to really enjoy it, even though it was delicious.
It is a BYOB place. We didn't know this in advance, but Fondissimo does offer a lovely non-alcoholic cider and we ordered a bottle of this which went perfectly with the fondue.
Fondissimo is located in what was an old factory. It is on the way out of town and can be hard to locate, the sign is small - we drove right past, but turned around as we realized we had missed it. There is parking beside the restaurant and it is handicap accessible. I highly recommend!More
