Vino Reno Fondue House
The Vino Reno Fondue House is a good place to go for moderately priced fondue and a theme that embraces how fun fondue can be. Like many other fondue serving eateries, it's available in three styles: hot oil, chocolate and cheese. The amount and types of dippers available for the chocolate and cheese is similar to most fondue places, but they have a bit more to offer when it comes to the hot oil dippers. Veggies that accompany it include peppers, zucchini, yellow squash and cauliflower---a bit of a change from the common tomatoes and broccoli served by other fondue places. The cheese is a combination of Monterey Jack and Gruyère and is served with bread and apples.
