Madame Fortune Dessert + HiFi Parlour
About This Spot
Stepping into Madame Fortune Dessert + HiFi Parlour feels like uncovering a vibrant secret tucked away in Tampa’s lively East 7th Avenue. There’s an immediate sense of warmth wrapped in a cool, low-lit atmosphere where retro beats gently pulse through the room — a place where moments hang comfortably between lively conversations and the subtle clinks of glasses. The mood is effortlessly stylish yet inviting, inviting you to slow down and savor the unfolding experience.
The pace here strikes a perfect balance: unhurried enough to linger over each beautifully crafted plate and cocktail, yet energized by the soulful soundtrack that threads through the evening. Behind a discreet entrance, the Parlour reveals a layered world where modern twists meet soulful classics, both in the kitchen and behind the bar. It’s this blend of familiarity and surprise that makes an evening here feel like discovering a favorite song long after the first listen.
The menu echoes a sense of place rooted in rich, comforting flavors given fresh life. Dishes invite exploration — think hearty, slow-cooked treasures alongside playful, textured bites and unexpected nods to Caribbean and Southern influences. The drinks invite as much attention as the food, with thoughtful cocktails that weave warming spices, citrus brightness, and indulgent creaminess into each sip. Whether sharing table-side sangria pitchers or savoring a quietly decadent chai espresso martini, the beverage program feels woven into the journey, not just an accompaniment.
This is a spot where celebrations feel intimate and every guest settles into a personalized rhythm. The attentive service mirrors the unspoken understanding that these moments aren’t rushed — birthdays, quiet dates, or simply a night out with friends all find their place here. It’s clear from the soft glow and comforting hum of the space that Madame Fortune is less about grand gestures and more about the thoughtful details that turn a meal into a memory.
Beyond the food and drinks, it’s the vibe that lingers: music that feels curated with care, a subtle playfulness in décor, and a welcoming energy that feels both like escape and homecoming. Madame Fortune Dessert + HiFi Parlour isn’t simply a restaurant — it’s a carefully crafted experience that invites you to return, to explore, and to find your own favorite notes within its distinct harmony.

I brought my husband for his birthday and everything was perfect. The atmosphere was nice, the drinks were delicious, the food was unique, the portion sizes where excellent, and I appreciated that they had a vegan option on the menu. The vegan chow mein was so good.

I've been to a variety of restaurants from simple fare to Michelin star establishments around the world but tonight I just ate at a place that has become my 3rd favorite of all time (next to the chargrilled oysters at Dragos in NOLA and the suckling pig at Las Galayos in Madrid). Madame Fortune in Tampa was a taste experience that literally compelled me to give the chef a hug . Everything from beginning to end was an outstanding flavor experience. Sweet potato cornbread, braised oxtail pigeon peas rice and warm beignets. SUPERB! The vibe atmosphere and service was extraordinary. Unforgettable flavor!!!! Excited to have a black owned establishment in my top 3!

Looking for a secret hidden gem - secret door to a whole vibe. Despite the wait time after making a reservation, it was definitely worth the wait. Front wait area show a little bakery “ Roast “ with some dope props that go with the theme. Pass the secret door was a whole vibe. The Dj was jammin’, playing all the 90’s - 2010’s R&B hits to match the mood of the restaurant. The customer service was 10 out of 10. We were a party of 6 and our waiter made sure we were good the whole time. S/O to him, wish I could remember. The food was really good!!! Hit the spot!!!! Highly recommend!! We stay away from the club scene, so this gave us the best of both worlds.

Atmosphere was great. Our table enjoyed the appetizers more than the entrees. Sangria pitcher was on point. The pepper pot oxtail shepherd pie was good but the oxtails were very salty. Cabbage/collars w/the cornbread were the hit of the entree. Turkey wings were awesome, well seasoned and fall off the bone tender. Mussels & shrimp had a slight kick amazing.

I will definitely give this restaurant 5 stars. Myself and 3 of my co workers went on a Thursday night to celebrate my birthday. The wait wasn’t long. The vibe and the aesthetics were very nice. They cut the music and played me a Happy Birthday song that caught me off guard and made me smile. Our waiter Tim gave us all of his attention. The food was hot and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be going back very soon. Everyone should try this hidden gem.

Most of my review will be based on once we were seated (not sure if this is the norm for a Saturday, waiting time was long even with reservations and there were a few patrons that left before us which probably allowed to sit quicker.) Great vibes ( music was chill and the lighting was intimate). The food that we order, we must say was excellent, from the appetizer to the dessert. We will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu. The manager Jarvis constantly check on us to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our experience.

We had reservations, buy had to wait a little while. They send you a password to enter. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. I ordered the oxtail pasta, which thr meat was too tough for my liking. The manager quickly rectified the situation and I ended up getting the lamb chops which were awesome. My husband had the oxtail Sheppard pie, which he enjoyed. The atmosphere was laid back with music playing in the background. I highly recommend making reservations.

This hidden gem in Ybor City is absolutely amazing! The food was on point from start to finish. We had the honey-glazed turkey tips, sweet potato cornbread, Rasta pasta, seafood pasta, and gouda macaroni everything was well seasoned and full of flavor. Our server, Jessica, was incredibly sweet and very knowledgeable about the menu which made the experience even better. The service and the food were both top-tier. I will definitely be going back!
