During the winter season, nothing beats a 100% cheese-based meal to warm your body and soul. In this article, I’m sharing a selection of my tested-and-approved favorite spots to enjoy a raclette or a fondue in Paris. Naturally, as I always do, I update this list over the years with my latest discoveries. Feel free to share your own favorite spots in the comments too. The practical information was checked in early November 2026.

The Mama Ski Club at Mama Shelter La Défense
In its latest winter edition, Mama Shelter La Défense had transformed its Sports Bar into a winter chalet, featuring a menu of raclette and Mont d’Or in partnership with Monbleu (a brand renowned for its quality cheeses), along with mulled wine, signature cocktails, and a friendly après-ski atmosphere. We love this hotel chain, as we’ve already tested several locations in France and Europe, and they always offer trendy and welcoming living spaces. It was a great opportunity to come and try their comforting all-you-can-eat raclette menus and their génépi-based cocktails, for instance. There were three menus: the classic one with an assortment of cheeses and all-you-can-eat potatoes, a version with charcuterie, and a veggie version with vegetables.

Italian raclette at I Grappoli
This charming Italian spot, nestled in the 14th arrondissement of Paris on Place Denfert-Rochereau (and which I already mentioned in my article on my favorite Italian restaurants in Paris), served us its Italian raclette two winters in a row. This Italian-style raclette was served with Taleggio, a very good cow’s milk cheese from Lombardy, and accompanied by a selection of fine artisan Italian charcuterie. Here, the raclette was served pre-plated, so there was no need to have a machine on the table to melt the cheese, which is quite practical.

Eating fondue in a ski gondola at Monix by Splash
Splash is a restaurant from the Bistrots Pas Parisiens group, located in Asnières-sur-Seine in the 92 area. For the winter season, the place turns into a mountain bistro with the installation of over 20 vintage ski gondolas and cable cars from the 60s, a snowmobile, a snowplow, a chalet, a fireplace, and vintage skis—a guaranteed change of scenery! For the occasion, the restaurant offers mountain-style menus with a choice of raclifette (a mix between raclette and tartiflette), fondue, or tartiflette. The little extra is that when you book, you can ask to eat in one of the gondolas (up to 12 people max). I highly recommend it because it’s truly a great experience; my favorite photographer and I loved it.

Raclette menu at Monbleu
We visited the Comptoir Monbleu location (the brand has 3 different addresses) to discover the raclette menus of this fromagerie that also doubles as a restaurant. During our visit, there were 3 different all-you-can-eat raclette menus (for cheese and potatoes): the traditional one with an assortment of several raclette cheeses from the fromagerie (plain, smoked, morbier, wild garlic, or even truffle) + potatoes; the veggie one (same but with an additional plate of vegetables); and the charcuterie one (again, same but with a plate of charcuterie). The big advantage of this place is obviously the quality of the cheeses (since it is a fromagerie first and foremost).

All-you-can-eat raclette at BAF, Bar à Fromages
This cheese bar located in the 10th arrondissement offers a super nice all-you-can-eat raclette menu for the winter season. And what’s really great (besides the very attractive price during our visit) is that they bring you plenty of different kinds of raclette and you can taste everything! During our visit, the raclette was served with potatoes and pickles, with vegetable or charcuterie supplements, and the menu also offered a baked camembert with honey and a Mont d’Or. To accompany the raclette, the place also offers an interesting selection of wines (by the bottle or by the glass), and they are all offered “à la ficelle,” meaning you only pay for what you drink. And one last very cool point to remember: the establishment offers a basement room that can be privatized for free (you only pay for what you consume in cheese and drinks), and there is a turntable and vinyl records available to play good music or even for DJing.

The RichesMonts Hot Spots
This ephemeral Hot Spots by RichesMonts (yes, named after the famous raclette brand) returns every year in different locations and with different menus as well. In early November 2026, no new edition had been announced.

2025/2026 Edition
At the end of 2025, Hot Spots by RichesMonts returned for a 4th edition, this time set up in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. This new edition offered a series of unique settings: a snowy forest, an enveloping Nordic sauna, or even a cozy campfire. As night fell, the place transformed into a bar with a menu of exclusive cocktails. And from Friday to Saturday, the atmosphere was enhanced by piano-bar sessions, blending the pleasure of a raclette dinner with live melodies. They served all-you-can-eat raclette, with a choice of Grand Affinage or smoked, with potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and charcuterie. The only minor drawback: I didn’t like the dessert we had at all, the pavlova, which I found far too sweet for my taste (and be warned, desserts there were for 4/6 people).

2025 Edition
In 2025, Hot Spots by RichesMonts moved in January to the 9th arrondissement at La Démesure. The program features XXL dinners to share with friends, enlivened by DJ sets and festive vibes until the early hours. The place offered an all-you-can-eat raclette menu with a very generous piece of either Grand Affinage raclette or smoked raclette to melt with a traditional raclette machine, and all this was served with potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a selection of charcuterie.
In addition to raclette, the place offered an exclusive menu that highlighted melted cheese with beef skewers with smoked raclette, truffle mac & cheese, a revisited tartiflette, a pan-fried mushroom dish accompanied by a perfect egg with herb emulsions…

2023 Edition
The Hot Spots RichesMonts was set up until February 5, 2023, in the Break Paris restaurant, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. The program featured an original menu concocted by Wilfried Romain (one of the 2022 Top Chef candidates) where raclette was revisited in every dish! We tasted the 64-degree egg with raclette, the baby potatoes with raclette foam and crispy bacon, the raclette ham and truffle croque, or even the pollock with fondue sauce. And for those addicted to classic raclette, you could enjoy it in the evening (from 4 people) with potatoes, charcuterie, and a professional raclette grill (you know, the one you probably don’t have at home!).
