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 wines, chosen for their value and typicity, from the Loire, Rhône and L

anguedoc. 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.
