Additional info
Ask for the vegan menu
The regular menu says to ask a server about vegan cheese and chocolate. Order the specifically named vegan versions listed here, and ask for the Vegan Garden Pot rather than the separate vegetarian Garden Pot.
Choose a vegan cooking style
The vegan menu lists four ways to prepare the entrée: Vegan Traditional Oil, the Grill, citrus-and-garlic Mojo, or Court Bouillon vegetable broth.
The Garden Pot changes
The April 2026 vegan menu describes the Vegan Garden Pot as the chef's selection rather than listing fixed ingredients. Ask what is included when ordering.
Cheeses and rennet
The Melting Pot prints the cheeses in each fondue but not what sets them. Gruyère and Parmesan are commonly made with animal rennet, so if that matters to you the cheddar-based pots are the safer ask.
One cooktop, one pot
Everyone at a cooktop cooks in the same pot. If anyone at the table is having meat or seafood, ask for a separate cooktop or the vegan Court Bouillon broth.
Where the vegetarian list comes from
The Melting Pot labels its vegan menu but not its vegetarian dishes. The vegetarian items here are read off the ingredient lists the à la carte menu prints for each fondue and salad, which is a weaker basis than a label.
