What People Say

Guests on TripAdvisor and OpenTable love the attentive staff and laid-back ambiance. Many mention the fun of cooking your own food at the table and rave about the cheese fondue and chocolate dessert options. The four-course experience is frequently described as “memorable” and “perfect for special occasions.” Diners also appreciate the upscale feel without being pretentious.

Areas for Improvement

The fondue format means dining takes a bit longer than a quick bite, so this isn’t ideal if you’re in a serious rush. Prices can add up quickly with the full four-course menu, so it might not be the best pick for those watching their wallet too closely. Still, many say the experience is worth it.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a social, flavorful, and memorable pre-show dinner near Albuquerque’s concert venues, The Melting Pot delivers a fondue experience that hits all the right notes.
