Chez Fonfon
Chez Fonfon has been the Stitt Restaurant Group's casual, bustling bistro in the heart of Five Points South since 2000, serving steak frites, sautéed trout with brown butter and escargots alongside wines from the Loire, Rhône and Languedoc. The venue describes Belle Époque café tables and a 100-year-old etched glass door from Lyon. Reservations are through Resy or by phone up to two weeks ahead, and walk-ins are welcome based on availability. It shares a group with Bottega and the former Highlands Bar & Grill.
