FARGO – The Kilbourne Group has announced plans for two new downtown Fargo restaurants.

46 North Pints & Provisions will open this fall on the corner of Roberts Street and Second Avenue North in Roberts Commons, Kilbourne’s new mixed-use retail, residential and parking facility.

The one-of-a-kind, full-service restaurant will offer a wide-ranging beer list and a menu focused on elevated comfort food.

Developed by Chef Blake Itterman, the menu will feature classics like burgers, soups and loaded mac and cheese as well as unexpected finds like bison meatloaf and shepherd's pie.

Itterman trained at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute in Minneapolis and has served as executive chef of several restaurants in Rapid City, S.D.

“At 46 North, we are committed to creating a dining experience unlike anything else in Fargo,” Itterman said. “Amazing food matched with the perfect beer. Friendly service in a warm, inviting atmosphere. From the moment you enter, we want you to feel like you’ve been coming here for years.”

46 North Pints and Provisions is an original restaurant concept locally owned and operated by the Itterman family.

Kilbourne also announced plans for BeerFish, downtown’s first fish and chip shop. The restaurant, slated to open in the fall of 2019, is the brainchild of Bert and Lisa Meyers and Klaus Meyers, the family behind Dempsey’s Public House and Wurst Bier Hall.

“Our beer-battered and fried fish is the legendary recipe of our mother, Rosa Bischoff, who for years served up the best fried fish the Iron Range of Minnesota had ever seen at her family restaurant,” Bert Meyers said. “Pick your tartar from a long list of flavors, and enjoy it with fries or chips served with the classic French onion dip you loved when you were a kid.”

Looking for something a bit finer? The team is developing a menu to feature oysters on the half shell, fresh seafood appetizers and pastas, including lobster mac and cheese, clam chowder and more.

Designed by Chris Hawley Architects, BeerFish will feature an open-air dining room for warm weather. The front door, surrounded by an outdoor patio, will be directly across Roberts Alley from the entrance of Dempsey’s.
