Located in Calgary’s East Village, Fortuna's Row offers a captivating Latin American dining experience in a stylish, expansive space that once housed a textile factory. Winner of Calgary's Best Restaurants by Avenue Magazine and placing on Air Canada EnRoute's Shortlist, Fortuna's Row has made an impact on Calgary's culinary scene. Executive Chef Mikko Tamarra curates a contemporary Latin American menu that expertly blends traditional ingredients with a contemporary flair that lends itself to an authentic, yet exceptionally modern, selection of Latin American dishes. The restaurant's design features beach-inspired elements, wood finishes, and lush plants that creates an inviting and luxurious atmosphere. Perfect for a night out or a special event, Fortuna’s Row delivers an experience that is truly an escape from the ordinary.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Mikko Tamarra

From the OpenTable editors: Fortuna's Row’s setting in a soaring warehouse space sets the stage for a menu with equally lofty aspirations. Chef Mikko Tamarra’s background in groundbreaking kitchens like Mexico City’s Pujol is evident in dishes such as esquites with brown butter hollandaise. A stellar brunch and playful experiences like a taco omakase menu make this a spot that warrants repeat visits.

I feel like for how completely average the food was the price is a little insane. Nothing wowed me - however the empanadas were delicious and desert was very good. Ambiance is wonderful, server was lovely and attentive. I’d probably just go here for some cocktails and a little appy..

I’ve been twice to fortuna’s row - each time doing their set meal options. Brought a group of 14 people this time, and everything was fantastic. Excellent food, many new flavours and curious creations. Ambiance and service was perfect. Both times I was surprised by how high this restaurant “punched above its class” I had mentioned. I was mistaken, it’s just a top notch spot. Highly recommend.

The atmosphere is fun, but more like a noisy poser bar than a restaurant. We had a great time though.

We went for birthday dinner on a Sunday night. Surprisingly busy and quite loud. We decided to do an appetizer and then 2 share plates. The avocado guacamole was delish as was the poblano pepper. The sirloin medallions with potato sticks was gristle and tough. When we told our server, she took the plate to show the kitchen. She offered to withdraw it from the bill, order another or another plate. We ordered the shrimp, which were ordinary. So the food was ok-ish but a shout out to our server, who was polite and efficient and wanting to make things right. I write this after reading recent reviews of poor service. Expensive for the experience.
