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.

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.

Food is great. Definitely coming back for the food. Expensive but worth the price. However, the service needs improvement. During our visit, the staff were not friendly or welcoming, which impacted our experience. I hope the restaurant invests in better training to ensure a more hospitable atmosphere.

I loved what I ordered which was the crab tacos but my husband didn’t really enjoy his salad. The ambiance was great but the tables are soooo close together that when seated you can hear the other people’s convos! Very awkward!!

Excellent food and even better staff. If you are looking for unique cuisine that is not too far out there this is your place. The Spanish style allows everyone to sample all the great food. Also, staff knows their stuff and can’t recommend the perfect pairings.

First time on reference from others. Showed up 8 mins prior to rezzo at 5:00. Went in but escorted outside into cold because "we don't open until 5:00." Seriously?! I can't sit inside quietly for 8 mins? Half the cocktails were unavailable. Pinot Noir bottle was unavailable. Chile Rellano was unavailable. Gobernador was deliscious. Empanada was good. Service was ok. However, ordered Parihuela and the star of the dish, halibut, was so overcooked it was the consistency of mashed potatoes and disgusting. When shown, chef said that is how the sous vide it. Really? Isn't a nicely cooked halibut supposed to be flakey? We were quite disappointed at the chef's reaction and the waitress' unwillingness to take anything off the bill or provide a dessert or aperitif in exchange. We will not be back at $100/person for a less than nice meal and service.
