Fonda

A Michelin Guide Restaurant. Fonda brings contemporary Mexican cuisine to London.   Fonda showcases beloved regional Mexican classics, with a focus on British ingredients, creatively prepared with modern techniques.

The foodie hotspot of Heddon Street, tucked away on the edge of Soho, is the setting for this busy Mexican restaurant from KOL founder Santiago Lastra. In Mexico, a ‘fonda’ is a family-owned spot usually with just a few tables – here they have supersized the concept, with diners spread across two floors of the bright, airy restaurant decorated with light wood, foliage and colourful ceramic tiles.

Kick off with a cocktail from the extensive list before sharing dishes like slow-cooked carnitas with fresh tortillas. Downstairs at Fonda, Sala Rosa captures the vibrant energy of Mexico’s after-hours venues. Adorned with contemporary Mexican artwork, this intimate, pink-hued space features its own bar and a custom sound system, making it ideal for groups and celebrations.

The outdoor terrace blends relaxed al fresco dining with the lively spirit of Fonda’s signature style. Guests can settle into the inviting open-air setting while enjoying bold, flavour-packed Mexican dishes, artisanal cocktails, and expertly curated mezcal.
