    Another wonderful meal in Fontana. I have run out of superlatives for this restaurant. Everything about Fontana exudes class, from the amazing chefs, with their innovative menus, to Elaine and her lovely front of house staff. Don't take my word for it. Make a reservation and see (or should I say taste) for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

    Our food was delicious…..every course made with fresh ingredients, very well cooked and presented. The service was very efficient but friendly and overall the meal was good value. Will certainly return. The prix fixe represents great value midweek.

    Fontana is a beautiful restaurant, recently upgraded and very comfortable. Food and service were excellent with nice options from the usual Sunday roast. I would recommend it in a heart beat!!! Enjoy.

    Revisited. Long-standing favourite restaurant after a stunning 5 star performance of Les Miserables@SSE I had another 5 Star experience at Fontana. Staff and service was outstanding and Arthur ( Head Chef) served up three courses of pure manic. The Quail breast and beetroot with Blackberries was a starter to die for. I chose the vegetarian risotto as a main and it was superb. My wife chose the Prawn Risotto - equally nice and flavoursome All washed down with a glass of Pinot Noir from Germany. Coleen and her staff- Elaine, Rachel, James & Head Chef-Arthur are justly proud and deserve all the accolades diners often give them. Can’t wait to return for another memorable experience.
