Fonda London Reviews
Excellent
Every dish is incredible. Lots of flavours and unexpected pairings. This is a special restaurant and I will definitely return.
Could be a new favourite (just a couple of niggles that could easily be addressed…..)
Lovely upmarket Mexican restaurant in the West End - nice food, beautifully served. Good attention to detail, from the little leather taco pouches to the tiered sauce holders. Great cocktails too. Two niggles - charging for tap water is sharp pr
FAULTLESS
Absolutely wonderful food, superb margaritas and welcoming and attentive staff. The manager Matt is a total gem. Particularly loved the fish tacos, crab quesadillas and the cheese and truffle dish. Beautifully presented and all so good. Will be b
Creative in Spades
Creative in spades with excellent service and lively ambience. Highly recommended especially the short rib mole and the ribeye steak. In a surprise, the chef himself delivered our dessert of blackberry sorbet. We only hope Chef Santiago can open Fond
Cannot recommend enough!
The service and food here are amazing! The menu at first glance felt boring and underwhelming but our server explained it in the perfect amount of detail and really brought it to life. She made recommendations on how much to order and explained the
Very good indeed!
The male staff give better advice on what/how to order as far as we could tell. Friendly service. Great food and good cocktails! Listen to your waiter. The queso, ceviche, fish tacos and churros are non negotiable! Thank me later..
Upscale Mexican Done Wonderfully
What a wonderful spot. Breathtakingly great food, wonderful location and an attentive, friendly and charming crew. We want to single out Aaron, Tom and the great bearded giant, all of whom went above and beyond to make our dining experience truly mem
Didn’t quite hit the mark
The food was fine. It was tasty but the portions were noticeably tiny and prices noticeably high. I don’t normally mind paying lots for quality, but there wasn’t anything here that shouted amazing. Service was good. My group left feeling pretty u
Just amazing
This was our 3rd time visiting Fonda since it opened and we love it so much we travel from Leeds for the day, just to come here. The whole experience is wonderful from the moment we arrived. The serving staff are attentive, friendly and so passionat
Great
Went to Kol recently and wanted a bit more of what the head chef had to offer - didn’t disappoint!!! Exceeded expectations and the location is lovely, food was beautiful and still had a Michelin level of yumminess. The waiter with the beard was fab
Great experience for high end Mexican
Went for daughter’s birthday and this place really lived up to expectations. Service was first rate from the General Manager who looked after us all evening. Food is NOT Tex Mex and all the better for it. Beef fillet v good. Food and experience ver
Not a great start
Very disappointing experience. The restaurant says it closes at 11:30pm, but they actually shut the kitchen at 9:30pm. We arrived at 9:40pm and were turned away. No clear communication, no flexibility, and frankly, very poor service—especially for
Fabulous and unusual Mexican fare!
Their dishes were absolutely amazing and so unusual! Our server last night explained every dish to us and her recommendations were perfect. If you like white wine the Vermentino was a perfect pairing with the spices.
Connect with users posting reservations for Fonda London
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Fonda London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Fonda London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Fonda London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CandidReceipt32, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CandidReceipt32 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CandidReceipt32 for any questions Peter may have as CandidReceipt32 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CandidReceipt32 now uses their connections at Fonda London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CandidReceipt32 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CandidReceipt32 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CandidReceipt32's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Fonda London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
