Chez Fonfon offers a delightful dining experience with a charming Parisian bistro atmosphere. The restaurant's seasonal menu features popular dishes like the Shrimp Po'Boy and Coconut Pecan Cake, as well as French classics such as mussels and fries. The French 75 cocktail is a highlight, and the standout dishes include the salmon tartine, duck confit, and steak frites. The cozy and intimate environment is enhanced by European charm, making each visit feel relaxed yet special.
The outdoor patio provides a lovely setting for dining, although indoor seating can be limited. Service is polished and warm, ensuring a smooth dining experience without fuss. Customers praise the high-quality food preparation, including perfectly cooked trout amandine, tender steak frites, and the flavorful duck with cherries. The atmosphere often feels lively but unhurried, adding to the overall enjoyment.
Guests also appreciate the well-crafted cocktails like the Negroni and Day in Normandy, as well as savory dishes such as crab cakes and chicken liver Banh Mi. Despite minor issues with saltiness and ice in drinks, Chez Fonfon consistently delivers a wonderful experience that leaves guests eager to return.
