OUR VISIT · 15 OCTOBER 2026
HEDDON STREET · NUMBER 12
A table at
Fonda.
A birthday lunch
worth making time for.
Fonda provided the centrepiece of the birthday: a table by the window, pink menus and a handwritten card from the team. Those details gave lunch a welcome sense of occasion.
Our order ranged from oysters, crudo and ceviche to tacos and short rib mole, followed by dessert. The bill came to £292.10 for two, including service. An indulgent birthday lunch that we thoroughly enjoyed.

MORE FROM OUR TABLE
Tacos and the dining room.
The next plates bring tacos to the table. A look around captures the striped seating, warm yellow walls and blue tile details, with the open kitchen in view.
THE NEXT COURSE
The main course.
The table fills with short rib mole, red rice dotted with peas and pickled vegetables. Iced drinks bring another splash of colour, with a closer look at that seasoned rim.
A SWEET LITTLE CELEBRATION
A birthday dessert.
Churros and dipping sauce arrive, along with a little birthday moment: a single lit candle beside dessert. A few more photographs to remember this part of the day.
