Chalezinho: a fondue reference since the 1970s
One of Brazil’s best-known fondue restaurants, Chalezinho celebrates 20 years in São Paulo.
The story began in Belo Horizonte in the 1970s with founder Antônio Augusto Marcellini.
In 2001, under the leadership of his sons Ricky and Ralph, the brand arrived in São Paulo’s Morumbi district, in a Swiss chalet–inspired house.
New locations followed in Itaim and Campos do Jordão, and in 2023 a unit opened in Gramado, in the Serra Gaúcha.
Fondue is the restaurant’s flagship dish, always served to share with generous side accompaniments.
