Fontana Restaurant

A first floor restaurant over a classy kitchen shop in Holywood, Fontana is fresh and bright - perfectly in tune with the lovely zesty cooking that proprietor-chef Colleen Bennett offers.


Starters and main courses tend to overlap on her interesting and loosely structured menus, with small and large portions of some dishes offered; a popular dish like Caesar salad with char-grilled chicken might come in two sizes, for example, and appear on both the lunch and dinner menus.


Imaginative use of fresh produce is a striking characteristic of the food at Fontana: vegetables and salads are used with great panache and seafood is usually strongly represented - consistently accomplished cooking, stylishly simple presentation and clear flavours make an appealing combination.

Seats 54 (outdoors, 12). L Tue-Sat 12-2.30 (Sun brunch 11-3), D Tue-Fri 5-9.30, D Sat, 6-10pm.
