Located at the corner on Longley and South McCarran. There is ample parking directly in front or the large parking lot. Upon entering you seat yourself, it's a comfortable casual atmosphere. The have an outdoor seating area, however it isn't utilized during winter for obvious reason. Service is great, the owner quickly provided a menu and took beverage order. I then gave my food order, added some gravy on the scrambled eggs. All the food is freshly made, full of flavor and nothing left on the plate. They have a new Point of Sale, it give you a cash price and for slightly more a credit card price. I really appreciate this as I don't like the additional cost to cover CC charges. No question, I will be back. If you are looking for a quick, great meal, this is a great spot. read more

Had a great breakfast with my Mom. Great service, the food was excellent. I will be back soon!

Great little place tucked in a strip mall. Cozy feel and nice staff. Food was very tasty!

Food was great, no wait to get a table, prices were good and service was very nice. 5 stars!!

5 Stars for my avocado and bacon eggs benedict. Price was reasonable (around $14 I think?). Staff was friendly. Environment was homey and relaxing. We came in on an early Tuesday morning. School had been canceled due to the projected snowstorms. Would return. Check it out, always feels good to support a small business. read more

I really enjoyed the stuffed French toast. Chorizo burrito was not bad they could use a homemade spicy salsa

My fiancé and I went here for breakfast yesterday (Sunday) and it wasn't busy at all. Staff was super friendly and the food was pretty good. My pastor was...interesting. I've never had pastor like that before and probably won't get it again. Also, I asked for the pastor omelette and they didn't give me the avocado or queso fresco that's supposed to come with it. They also asked if I wanted tortillas to go with it but didn't tell me it was an extra charge. They did the same thing with our "side" of French toast that was $10!!! It was delicious but regardless of the fact, they should've communicated that with us. All in all, I would recommend giving this place a try at least once. read more

This place is a hidden gem and if you haven't tried it yet, you're definitely missing out! It is located where the old Wet Hen was and it's very similar inside. The owner was super nice and attentive and came to speak to us several times. Now to the food: Chile Relleno Omelette: 5/5 definitely worth a try! Veggie Benedict: 5/5 Hollandaise sauce is homemade and one of the best I've tried Pastor Omelette: 4.5/5 hubby loved it! Short stack: 5/5 pancakes are a must try! Bacon and Avocado Benedict: 4/5 sauce is good Inside it's very clean and quaint. Service was impeccable! Will definitely be back when we are in town next and will recommend to everyone. read more

Great food, always great service. Top favorite breakfast spot in town, highly recommended.

I had a good breakfast here. Somewhat how a chef judges an apprentice chef by having them make scrambled eggs, my litmus test is Eggs Benedict. And the Eggs Benedict at Fortis met my standards. Too often at other places, the poached eggs in a Benedict arrive overdone and/or cold. Here the poached eggs were just right, runny yolks but done whites. Hollandaise was excellent. I had the Benedict w avocado and maple bacon, a very good combo. Place is cozy, nice and quiet for a Tuesday morning. Service was attentive and quick. Have only tried this one menu item as of this post. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, especially the potatoes; they had so much flavor in them! The atmosphere of the restaurant felt cozy. Service was welcoming and friendly! I highly recommend coming to this place! Especially if you want a cute breakfast or lunch date, as I did when I visited read more

A friend and I enjoyed breakfast/lunch at Fortis Cafe today. I had the pastor wrap which was delicious! My friend ordered the pancake combo with bacon and was thrilled. My only problem was that it's difficult to locate on a busy intersection. Th interior is welcoming like a country cafe. The service was thoughtful and we didn't feel hurried to vacate the table, a refreshing change. I'll be back! read more

As EVERYONE has mentioned in their Yelp reviews, this is the recently closed Wet Hen location. We hadn't been there in 12 years, but I do remember it was very tight in there- way too many tables close together and the breakfast was just "ok". Today we went in for a late breakfast and found Fortis to be totally WONDERFUL. Some of Wet Hen's decor has survived the change of ownership, but the interior is bright, clean, and the tables are well spaced apart. The owners are delightful- fast, so friendly and helpful. They also own the Genoa restaurant on Main Street that is still open. My chile Relleno was absolutely DELICIOUS, and my wife was so impressed with the Country Benedict that she was still raving about it 3 hours later! Coffee was good too! Open for breakfast and lunch until 2 pm. They seemed to have a steady stream of customers, and it is clear that they will do really well here. I know WE will be back for lunch next time! read more

I have to begin by addressing how wonderful and kind the entire staff of the restaurant is. My husband and I are always treated with such warmth whenever we come here for breakfast or lunch! Their food is amazing and made with care, one of our favorite things to order is the vegetarian benedict! The experience is always positive and the environment is so welcoming. We absolutely recommend checking this place out! It's not too far from some fun hiking trails too, so swinging by for one of their delicious meals is a fantastic way to fuel up before going on an adventure! read more

From the start Fortis was very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant was very clean and cozy. Great place for a late breakfast/brunch date! The cappuccino felt very elevated and could have served as a dessert. We tried the chile relleno omelet and chorizo burrito. Both of which were delicioso! The salsa and potatoes complimented the dishes well. Great Mexican inspired breakfast joint and will definitely be back to try more! Muy bueno! read more

I have been eating breakfast here for about 9 months. Go at least 2 times a month. The owner and staff are amazing!

This is a very nice little breakfast and lunch place. The owners/staff were very nice and checked in on us during our meal. The meal was very good. I had an omelette and my husband had a breakfast burrito which had too much rice & not enough meat. Despite this, I would definitely return. read more

The service was the best that I have had since at least before Covid, if not the best I have had. I ordered the Pastor Omelet which was great! The food is well priced for its quality. Highly recommend to give this restaurant a try, you won't regret it. read more

Fortis Cafe is a hidden gem of Reno. It's like walking into times of the past. The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming, kind and happy. The food is exceptional as is the service. I leave with a feeling of having been with good friends and having eaten a meal filled with love. I highly recommend this eatery! read more

Just delicious. My wife got the stuffed French toast which was very very good. Slightly crunchy due to something they put on the bread. A new favorite for us. I ordered the chilaquiles with mole and it was awesome. Seemingly home made tortilla chips which stayed crunchy til the end, slightly sweet mole sauce and some cheese on top. Be aware the mole sauce variant doesn't come with protein, so make sure you add that if you want meat with it. Owners served us and were very attentive. Definitely a must try at least once. We will be returning for sure read more

This is a small family operated cafe. We went there for breakfast and it was delicious. Both my husband and I had the vegetable omelette. We asked for 2 eggs instead 3 as stated on the menu. A nice portion of avocado was on top. Service is quite friendly and prompt. No bakery items, but the sourdough toast was very good with the omelette. We will go back. read more

Quaint restaurant, with outstanding food and amazing customer service by the owners, they are just lovely.

Food was excellent, service superb, and priced right. Quiet and clean. Highly recommended.
