I do not like to run a place down or write bad reviews but I feel so strongly about this one I have to do it!! The bad: Horrendously overpriced for what you get. VERY Small portions on huge plates. 3 courses for £19.50 menu very limited. Noise from kitchen and chefs distracting and unappreciated (in particular hearing one chef... More

We were welcomed warmly in the smart and quirky Fontana. A chilled glass of Pino Grigio was enjoyed as we made our choice. The menu had changed to a selected 6 or 7 courses which could be ordered in large or small sizes. There was an ample choice. I went for the salmon. Wow slightly spicey and delicious. Very filling...

We couldn't get a table at our restaurant of choice and were directed across the road to the Fontana, what a stroke of luck for us. A truly delicious lunch for all of us including my baby granddaughter, wonderful service with a great head waiter. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food, beautifully laid table and excellent... More

Wow! Excellent food beautifully presented in great surroundings but at a fantastic price for the 'supper menu'. We had a nice welcome and got a great table, we had a look at the a la carte menu but decided to go for the incredible value on the 'restricted' supper menu (£19.50 for 3 courses). The choices were restricted, but we... More

Just back from lunch earlier today and a first time visit to this restaurant. After a long walk around Helen's Bay we were ready for food and instead of basic pub grub decided to go a bit more 'upmarket'. The room itself up a flight of stairs was bright and well laid out with white linen tablecloths on nice roomy... More

We eat out every week and are not easily pleased (we like to think discerning rather than fussy!). This was our 1st visit and while the choices on the A La Carte menu were tempting the 3 courses for £19 was more so. The choice was limited but quality was superb. No sign of the quality being impacted by the... More

Went out last night for my husband's birthday. Had avoided Fontana although we live in Holywood, really because it used to be too pricey but they had set 3 course menu for £19 and it really was the most beautiful food. Service fantastic and the setting was as lovely as ever. Will definitely be back!

I can't count how many times I have eaten with friends at Fontana - easily a FIRM FAVOURITE! The food is always seasonal and locally sourced, I love how Colleen favours more artisan producers with unusual varieties of veg, herbs, leaves, fruit, cheese and wine which consistently make up a large part of the fare, so there is always a...
