"At the bottom of a Downtown office tower, Fond is both a gathering place for better-than-necessary post-work drinks and a well-rounded bistro for an office lunch or laid-back dinner. The midday special includes a quarter-pie of the restaurant’s fantastic Detroit-style pizza (the Brussel Crowe with brussels sprouts and bacon is a favorite), or a smoked salmon niçoise salad, or a French-ish ham and salami sandwich. You can get a glass of lunch wine for just $7, and the evening “aperitivo” menu—which here actually means dinner—involves hearty share plates like charred octopus and chorizo (get a side of potatoes) or crisp pork schnitzel with tangy slaw. A must-drink: the botanically perfect Fond Spanish Vermut cocktail with housemade vinho verde vermouth." - Rosin Saez
