Let me start by saying this restaurant is owned by a James Beard award winner. I’ve never had a bad experience here. Lunch is just as special as dinner, in a very French way. The menu is French, and literally nothing you could order could go wrong. I recommend the trout and the escargot. My top favorite cocktails are the aviation and the French blonde. Both will pair perfectly, with so many of the dishes. Don’t skip on desert at this place!

Excellent experience at Chez Fonton. I was in town for work and was surprised to see a restaurant so packed on a Wednesday night. I sat at the bar and the service was fantastic. The bartender recommended an excellent port pairing with my dessert and had me try it as well. The burger with the aioli was excellent and so was their chocolate pots de creme. Would highly recommend eating here and I recommend it to everyone I know visiting Birmingham.

We’ve visited Chez Fonfon twice in the last month, once for Valentine’s dinner and today for a going to way lunch. Both experiences were wonderful. We’ve been served by Vesna and Nate, who were both wonderful and very accommodating! The shrimp tartine, steak tartare (our favorite), venison, flat iron steak, and the burger are all fantastic with a good depth of flavor. The ambiance in Chez Fonfon is comfortable but elegant, and very French with the theme. We would definitely return! We did consider bringing a cake for one of our visits and were informed that they charge $5/person to serve it to everyone at the table. Just an FYI!

This place was amazing. I was in Birmingham for a work trip, and I liked the restaurant so much I went twice. I sat at the bar both times solo without a reservation, but it did get pretty busy so try and get a reservation if you can!

The Trout is amazing (my favorite). The burger is amazing. Also the Coconut pecan cake is a must. There were other appetizers that people next to me ordered, and they all looked great.

The bartenders were very knowledgable and made me drinks that weren't on the menu. Well crafted.

Would highly recommend this restaurant!!!

10/10 recommend this gem of a restaurant. The ambiance is low lit and romantic, however a little loud since it's smaller and packed, but no complaints here. Our waiter was top notch. Cordial, explained the menu well, never let our drinks drop an inch, and very attentive. The salad appetizer was delicious. Plenty for two to share. Husband had the special fish of the night (forgot the name) over zucchini/squash/some sauce which was cooked to perfection. My steak with fries/salad was indescribably good. I've honestly never had better french fries in my life. We also tried three non-alcoholic drinks. The lime/ginger mint, the grapefruit/orange/lime, and the watermelon one. All delicious!!! Oh and get their espresso shot. My Brazilian husband approved! The prices were really not bad compared to other places we've been. Totally worth it!

The food is amazing. This coconut pecan cake is a Janes Beard award winner. So good.

Every dish was perfect. At the bar you can get fresh boiled eggs from the chefs farm.

Everything was wonderful! The ambience was old and comfortable.
I definitely recommend this restaurant but plan ahead as you cannot get reservations same day.
