If you’ve been tasked with planning this year’s Christmas party, you may be onto a winner. As a Christmas party venue, Fonda certainly isn’t your classic option. Instead, you’ll get stylish festive dining with Mexican flair. Isn’t it time to veer away from the repetition of turkey and Christmas pud in favour of something a little more elevated, and just as soul-warming?
Found on Heddon Street just minutes from Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus stations, Fonda is a cool restaurant with exceptional decor. Picture pink tiles, comfortable, luxe furnishings, warm lighting and Mexican artwork - this is the chicest space to see in the festive season.
Smaller Christmas party groups at Fonda can comfortably sit around one 10-seater table in an intimate setting on the ground floor, while larger groups of up to 40, will have access to the dining room downstairs, for ultimate privacy. While Christmas menus at Fonda vary, we know that any visit to Fonda will leave you impressed with the food and experience.
To give an indication, starters at Fonda have included queso de aro with fresh cheese and martajada sauce stuffed in tortillas, along with Scottish sea trout ceviche with butternut squash aguachile. Elsewhere the comal section includes baked beetroot tostadas with seaweed oil and elderflower vinegar, wheat tortillas filled with aged ribeye and grilled cheese, and battered Cornish cod with chipotle.
Then, the main dishes, all of which are served with fresh corn tortillas, include charred monkfish with ratte potato and spicy kelp butter, and confit pork shoulder with chicharrón. Every Christmas party deserved brilliant desserts - a fact that Fonda takes seriously. So think chocolate sorbet with smoked pasilla chilli oil, or the creamy rice pudding with quince, cinnamon and mezcal custard. For brilliant service, a warm festive evening, and exceptional food, Christmas parties at Fonda stand out among the rest.
