People love gathering at this comfortable, upscale European-inspired space, with its old fashioned gas lights, café tables covered in white linens, and patio seating. The extensive wine list ups the place's popularity, as does Chef Frank Stitt's skillful takes on bistro classics such as country pâté with pork, steak tartare, and moules et frites. In keeping with the French theme, Chez Fonfon also has a boules court for those who want to work off calories with a bit of post-meal pétanque.
