• Fonda (Hawthorn)

Fonda is now a well-established chain of restaurants in Melbourne’s trendier inner suburbs, serving happy Mexican fare, cocktails and a lively atmosphere. Whilst the clientele at the Hawthorn location may be more relaxed in their dress, and conversations than those at the Chapel Street venue on a Saturday night, the principles are the same: clean, tasty food.

The servings are small which can make a meal here expensive for a diner with a big appetite.

The tortilla crisps are fresh and crunchy served with lots of guacamole. The mushroom quesadilla is another solid vegetarian alternative with charred corn, mushrooms and a piquant chipotle alioli.



Other vegetarian options are salads, tacos and falafel burritos.

In the end Fonda’s redeeming feature is its consistency and sense of fun – you know what you’ll get and the lively atmosphere makes it a great place for a catch up.
