Fondue in Nice?

Is this a silly question? If not does anyone know of a good place for fondue in Nice?

That depends wether you want a cheese fondue or a fondue bourguignon, with meat. It's more something for winter (cheese fondue, raclette are popular in the French Alps); I have not seen fondue in Nice.

Cheese fondue is what I was looking for. I know it is Swiss Ida but there are Fondue places in Paris and Montreal and New York and was just wondering if there was a good one in Nice. It's a fun vacation food.

Funny question but I understand also. Sometimes you get that hunger for cheese.

I did a google search with keyword fondue savoyarde (= French name for Fondue au fromage) + Nice and came up with the following.

http://lepierreafeu.com/

They also have raclette, tartiflette, even pizza. Paradise for cheese lovers? Don't expect much. You might get a pleasant surprise.

"Pierre à feu" is the French traslation/title for American cartoon Flintstones.

It's a hot stone, that they put on your table, and you cook meat on it. Quite nice to do, and less fattening than cheese fondue or tartiflette.

Oh, no sorry; that's called 'pierrade'.

That restaurant looks nice Kappa; must try it with the kids next time we're there.
