Located inside the Westley Hotel in the heart of Downtown Calgary, Fonda Fora is an exciting new contemporary Mexican restaurant brought to you by the folks at Thank You Hospitality. Food and Beverage Magazine 30 under 30 winner, Chef Emilio Montenegro has crafted a menu based on his upbringing in Northern Mexico and his journey in kitchens across the world. Much of our concept is based around the heirloom corn of Mexico. We import four types of corn from a collective of heirloom farms in Mexico in order to provide the best product we can. We process this corn from raw and turn it into masa for dishes all across our menu, like our Sope, Tamal, and of course, Tortillas. There is a saying in Mexico that we live by at Fonda Fora: "Sin maiz no hay pais," meaning without corn, there is no country. Maiz is the lifeblood of Mexican cuisine, and we are excited to present it to you as it should be.

Had a wonderful experience with friends sitting at the “roost” which is the chefs counter. Our server Sarah was excellent and one of a kind! She gave us perfect cocktail recommendations and was friendly and attentive. It was nice getting to speak with the chefs as well Vita worked magic with preparing beautiful desserts. Will be bringing clients here in the future!

I brought my wife here for her birthday, and thanks to the kind and attentive staff, it was an unforgettable evening. Located in the Fairmont in downtown Calgary, Hawthorn delivers extravagance in its setting, decor, and, most importantly, its incredible food. That said, with such extravagance, be prepared to pay equally extravagant prices.
