Chez Fonfon is a casual, bustling bistro in the heart of Five Points South transporting you to Paris, Lyon or Nice. Vive le Fonfon!
(1381)

Chez Fonfon is a cozy, casual French bistro that transfers you to Paris, Lyons or Nice. Opened in 2000 by Pardis and Frank Stitt, Chez Fon Fon is a bustling bistro serving classic, hearty French fare: steak tartare, moules frites, sautéed trout with brown butter, escargots, and homemade charcuterie. We offer the most delicious w**es, 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 w**e. Maybe even a game of boule in our courtyard—we’ll help you keep score.

The newest addition to the Fonfon menu - Jeremiah Tower’s chicken club sandwich with Hinkel's Bakery sourdough, poached chicken breast, bacon, heriloom tomato, crunchy romaine, mayo, and butter.

Jeremiah Tower knows a thing or two about sandwiches, and he is quite adept at pairing food and w**e. He believes a club sandwich is meant to be accompanied by Ch*****ne, “the combination of the club sandwich and a great, slightly old, ye**ty ch*****ne has been the perfect palliative for many trying moments,” from Jeremiah Tower Cooks.
