Chez Fonfon

Outstanding! Great experience. Had a great meal and a great time the menu and the food is superb. The staff is wonderful better than some of their competitors and those other higher end places. One of the best restaurants in Birmingham. I will definitely be on the return to this place. The bar staff is amazing. The hosts are very welcoming and great and even assist at bar seating and other options. The Food's a little bit more higher and so that comes with price. They do upsell drinks, but it's worth the experience. My only feedback is the fries were horrible and nasty. Other than that everything was excellent.

This restaurant is so good. Probably one of my favorites in Birmingham now. We did not make reservations so we took a seat at the bar on a Saturday evening. We were well taken care of by the bartender, who recommended pairings for what we ordered. We tried the escargot, the bread, the hamburger, and the hanger steak. Everything was delicious and so were the drinks from the bar. Would absolutely be back here.

Solo lunch stop on vacation. I got a table quick at just before 1130. As a solo dinner I didn't get told the specials and noticed the couple next to me getting the menu run down The prices were high for what I got. The kitchen gor slammed and it was a long wait between courses. The couple next to me got an apology and a comp salad and I was left waiting Reservations recommended. The burger and steak fries looked great. My salad and dessert were fantastic. I saw the Croque Madame and glad I didn't order it as it looked less like a traditional sandwich I would return but definitely wouldn't order the tartare or escargot again. They just weren't worth it. They were too far from what I would expect elsewhere

I had the pleasure of dining at this charming French restaurant during my visit to Birmingham, Alabama, and it was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the food truly delivered on flavor and presentation. The service was excellent—attentive and friendly without being overbearing. One highlight of the meal was the dessert; their walnut cake was absolutely amazing and a must-try! Even though I only visited once, it left a lasting impression. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quality French dining experience in Birmingham.

I ate at one of my most favorite restaurants last week. Chez Fon Fon in Birmingham Alabama. I had reservations and went there with 6 ladies. We had requested an outside table on their beautiful patio. When we got there, we were disappointed that it was not available. But the staff at Chez Fon Fon even after we’d already sat down at a table and ordered our drinks came and got us when a table on the patio became available. They were so kind and nice and they moved us from inside to outside and we had excellent service and a wonderful night on the patio. Most of us ordered the trout because it’s absolutely delicious but somebody ordered the oyster poor boy and liked it. The service was really above and beyond for just such a fine restaurant. We are so lucky to have it in Birmingham.
