Port Fonda begins offering lunch today
- Angela C. Bond
- It’s been chicharrones for everyone this week.
A spot known for hip late-night dining will see how it fares in the sunshine. Port Fonda opens for lunch today at 11 a.m. for the first time. Perhaps you’ll be served by Emily Cox, one of The Pitch’s 12 crushes from our Heartbreakers Valentine’s issue.
The Westport dining spot also recently added brunch (the menu is here), opening at 10 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Grab a plate of the rancho gordo beans served with braised kale, grilled radishes, queso fresco and chiles (add a fried egg or bacon for $1), the rotating chile relleno special, or the ultimate hangover cure in menudo. It’s been a good week for Port Fonda with a recent piece in The New York Times leading to long lines this weekend as the crowds came out to taste chef Patrick Ryan’s chicharrones.
