The Melting Pot New St. Pete Location Opens

We at Tampa Bay Food Tours are officially obsessed with the new Melting Pot in downtown St. Pete. This beloved Melting Pot concept brings all the nostalgic fondue magic—with some irresistible new bites and bold flavors.

Of course, cheese fondue is still front and center. The Classic Alpine—a heavenly blend of Gruyère, Raclette, Fontina, white wine, garlic, and nutmeg—is a must-try, served with artisan bread, fresh fruit, and veggies for dipping. Vegan cheese fondue options are also available—big win!

Looking for something a little more adventurous? The Brie & Fig fondue (Gruyère, Raclette, Fontina, Brie, white wine, fig purée, honey-roasted almonds, basil, and black pepper) hits the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

You can’t live on cheese alone (though we’ve tried), so we’ve sampled plenty from the rest of the menu. One standout: the Strawberry Spinach Salad with golden raisins, Gorgonzola, strawberries, honey-roasted almonds, and strawberry vinaigrette. Bright, fresh, and the perfect lead-in to fondue.

When it comes to entrées, diners choose from cooking styles like Coq Au Vin (Burgundy wine, mushrooms, garlic), Court Bouillon, Mojo, traditional oil, or grilled—each one bringing out different flavors in the proteins, veggies, and dipping sauces that accompany them.

Now, let’s talk dessert. The Flaming Turtle chocolate fondue is legendary—milk chocolate, caramel, flambéed tableside, and topped with candied pecans. Other favorites include:

• Zing and Zang – dark and white chocolate fondue swirled together
• Burnt Orange Grand Marnier – milk chocolate, orange marmalade, candied orange, and Grand Marnier flambé

Dessert can be even sweeter with Chocolate Double Dippers—fondue paired with toppings like cookie crumbles and pretzel bits—and “Sweet Additions” like cream puffs, macarons, and gluten-free cheesecake.
