I’d rate this experience between 4–5 stars. Walking in wasn’t the most inviting, but once seated the experience got better. Our male server was great very knowledgeable about the menu and helped guide us through what to try.
I ordered the famous burger and added the farm egg. The chef even split it for us so we could both taste it, which I appreciated. The flavor was amazing with the egg definitely worth ordering to try. I originally came for the salmon and lentils, but it’s only offered as a Tuesday special. So I’ll be back!
I ended up trying the Tuna Paillard appetizer of the day and it was sooooo good bright, citrusy, flavorful… I could honestly eat that every day. My drink, the Ortolon, was delicious and sweet, just a bit small.
The décor feels beautifully French cozy, charming, and perfect for a lunch date or a light afternoon meal. Overall, a solid experience with great food and a helpful server.

What a lovely place with welcoming warm atmosphere. The staff are attentive to your every need without being intrusive. The French onion soup is among the best I’ve ever had. To me the genius of the food here is how they take ordinary, everyday things and then combine them into something extraordinary that far exceeds the sum of the parts. Highly reccomended.

A French restaurant in Alabama with authentic French food? Oui, oui! Service was attentive and the timing was spot on. Loved my cocktail, the Indochine. We shared the salad Fonfon, escargot, butternut squash soup of the day (one of the best I’ve ever had), and the smoked salmon tartine. For dinner we had the coq au vin, grilled lamb, gulf fish with ratatouille, and the fish special (swordfish). All the dishes were bursting with flavor and the cooks on the meat and fish were to perfection. For dessert, we had the coconut pecan cake, and it was marvelous. Thank you for transporting me back to France! This was a meal I will relish for a long time.

Service and food were amazing!! I still think about this steak! I wish I could come more often! The only con is that it’s incredibly hard to get a reservation, but if you are able to…jump on the opportunity to eat here!

Simply can’t say anything other than perfection. The food is always roll-your-eyes delicious. The staff’s attention to your welcome, comfort and enjoyment is world class. I was wearing a black outfit and the server very quietly replaced my white service napkin with a black one so as to better match. Who does that? And it wasn’t pretentious it was just magical attention to detail. If getting to eat the Magnificent food alone doesn’t do it for you, the staff will find a way to make every meal special. The charcuterie board is a thing of beauty, but I was too Spellbound by the scallops to remember to make any other photos

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.

Cute French bistro, great food for lunch. We had the steak frites, trout, and mussels. Frites were divine as was the coconut cake!

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.

Chez Fonfon is one of the best dining spots in Birmingham! The food is consistently amazing — especially the steak frites — and the atmosphere is cozy and charming. The staff is attentive, and the whole experience feels special without being pretentious. Perfect for date night or a nice dinner out. Highly recommend!

Excellent service! We didn’t have a reservation and it was a Saturday night. They sat us right away, but let us know there was a 7 pm reservation. The food came out quickly. The server knew his cheese & wines. He made excellent recommendations. Highly recommend!
