Located in Scottsdale, Cafe Forte is a purveyor of inspired healthy American dining from the esteemed Chef Grace Rubel.
Cafe Forte opened in April 1996 and has since led the locally sourced food movement in heart of Old Town Scottsdale Art District. Since then, chef Rubel has been serving both quality interpretations of classic dishes and daring new ventures into the uncharted territories of healthier cuisine.
Cafe Forte's interior, designed by the award-winning Carsten's design group, reflects the artistic sensibilities of the surrounding area while also paying tribute to Arizona's natural earth tone palette. This side-walk cafe offers the choice to observe passers-by as you sip, relax and dine alfresco on Main Street. Or, if you choose, step inside and dine in the casual sophistication and old world charm that is quintessentially cafe forte.
