Story

Chez Fonfon is a cozy, casual French bistro that transfers you to Paris, Lyons or Nice. Opened in 2000 by Chris Mancill, Frank Stitt and Pardis Stitt, Chez Fon Fon is a bustling bistro serving classic, hearty French fare: steak tartare, moules et frites, sautéed trout with brown butter, escargots, and homemade charcuterie. We offer the most delicious wines, chosen for their value and typicity, from the Loire, Rhône and Languedoc.

Patrick Dunne (of Lucullus fame) is responsible for the decor, including authentic elements such as the French Belle Epoque café tables and 100 year old etched glass door from Lyons. The marble wainscoting and mahogany paneling for the bar were rescued out of a glorious old Birmingham office building.

Stop by for a quick snack, sumptuous meal or a glass of wine. Maybe even a game of boule in our courtyard—we’ll help you keep score.

Vive le Fonfon!

Delicious food and excellent service. They are known for their hamburger although I have never had it. We brought an out of town friend here who said the restaurant reminded her of one of her favorite restaurants in Paris. From her that is quite a compliment. Seating is limited. Doors open at 4:30.

My favorite restaurant in Birmingham because it is absolutely the best in town! Fantastic cocktails and a menu of simple, classic French Bistro-style fare. Service is absolutely the best and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Probably also the best value for a meal in this city. This should be at the top of any “must do list” for Birmingham.

Clearly the best meal in Birmingham for many years. If it's warm enough when you go , eat at a table on the back porch. Be adventurous when ordering, don't order safely. You're in very competent hands and you will enjoy anything on the menu.
