Bring your big appetite to the big city. In downtown Minneapolis, The Melting Pot is your quintessential fine-dining restaurant. Start with freshly made salads and handcrafted dressings before you skewer succulent strips of steak, and finish the smorgasbord with our famous chocolate fondue. Desserts rank high here, and just like the complex taste of our entrées, there’s something to be said of our artisan cheeses and luscious chocolates. But in our cozy corner of dessert paradise, we’re more than just a classy addition to Minnesota’s culinary scene. We are casual and approachable, which makes us an excellent choice for reconnecting with long-lost friends, updating loved ones about your life, or simply breaking the ice on a romantic date.

Ben is the best server in the downtown area. Anyone who is lucky enough to get him as their server is going to have a marvelous time.

We were at the Melting Pot for a family celebration with a group of 8. We were seated in a private room, which we weren't expecting, and it was absolutely lovely. Our waiter Zachary was attentive, informative, fun, and absolutely charming. We really loved having the cheese fondue made tableside, and we are sad to hear that the service might be going away soon. All of the food was great! The marinades and dipping sauces are very flavorful. We adore the mojo and the coq au vin cooking broths. And the cheese and chocolate course selections are always great. The manager/owner visited and chatted with us a bit, took a group photo, and gave us a small framed print of our group. There were some fun extras that we celebrated with as well, a few new fun drinks and a chocolate explosion for dessert. Overall, an absolutely terrific evening!

Great experience overall! We made a reservation for 7:30pm and didn’t get seated until after 8pm, but the restaurant made it right. We had nine people and everyone did the four course meal. We had plenty of food and everything was delicious! Definitely get the Yin and Yang martini, it was like dessert in a glass! I loved the Alpine for cheese fondue and the Yin and Yang for dessert. For the mains, we mixed and matched so everyone could try a little bit of everything which worked well. A fun experience and a definite must try!
