Quelle expérience magnifique. 10/10 sur toute la ligne, du service impeccable aux plats riches en saveurs en passant par les vins qui les accompagnent parfaitement. Nous sommes venus pour célébrer & Alma (& toute son équipe) a largement dépassé nos attentes. C'est un endroit haut de gamme sans prétention tout en restant chaleureux. Merci encore mille fois au Chef du Mastard pour la recommandation

We were originally attracted to try Alma because it's in the North American Top 50 list - however, the meal was extremely disappointing. We Came as a group of four & got the 5 course tasting menu with no drinks, & it was $145 CAD per person. We all left unsatisfied & felt quite scammed.
The food had NO flavour, & it was such a tiny portion. We had to go to another restaurant to get more food after.
The staff are really nice, but if you're actually looking for a tasty, satisfying Mexican meal, Don't waste your time or money here.

We came on a Thursday at 6pm so it was pretty quiet. We had a really great experience. I read a lot of mixed reviews & wasn't sure what to expect. Yes it's expensive yes the portions are fairly small. But the food was very very good, the people were really nice & not pretentious what so ever (easy to come across in the high end restaurants). The ambiance was nice. Wine was good! I didn't do the full pairing more just did 1/2 glasses as it made sense. I would come back & certainly recommend to others

On a eu la chance d'aller au Alma & c'était vraiment excellent !
Je comprends pourquoi c'est considéré comme le meilleur resto mexicain à Montréal. Je crois avoir mangé le meilleur taco de ma vie.
Le seul petit point négatif, c'est les portions. On aurait aimé avoir un ou deux services de plus.
Mais sinon, c'était vraiment une super expérience.
Si vous aimez la cuisine mexicaine, c'est un endroit à absolument essayer.
En plus, il y a la Terraza Luz à l'arrière, ouverte majoritairement les fins de semaine. L'ambiance est vraiment le fun, pis la bouffe reste de super bonne qualité.

5 stars is not enough I have been to almost every tasting menu in montreal & this experience was above the rest. No more need to look at other places Alma you have my business

Alma, donde esta tu alma? Malheureusement un des pires restaurants où j'ai mangé à Montréal. Il s'agit d'un endroit qui profite des gens qui ne connaissent absolument rien à la cuisine mexicaine. Le menu 5 services proposent des portions minuscules à un prix absurde. Aucun des plats ne présentaient de goût ou de saveurs remarquables, sauf peut être la microscopique supposée tostada de thon. Que dire du mextlapique de saumon? Des cubes de saumon fades bouillis ou cuits à la vapeur avec des tomates cerises & de l'huile d'olive le tout recouvert d'une sauce blanche mousseuse sans saveur. Qu'est-ce qu'il y a de mexicain là dedans? Pire encore, le simple taco individuel avec au maximum une demie cuillère à thé de pieuvre. À la fin des services, je me demandais quand est-ce que les entrées allaient finir & que le plat fort allait arriver, c'était en fait fini. Il n'y a même pas de dessert inclu. Mon amie & moi avons donc prit le plat de caille au mole en extra à 45$ en pensant que la portion allait correspondre à celle d'un plat principal de menu à la carte. Le plat arrive & c'est l'une des choses les plus ridicules que j'ai vu dans un restaurant montréalais. Une minuscule caille avec un soupçon de riz à moitié cru & une mince flaque de mole. Rien de ce plat en justifie le prix & il montre les pratiques malhonnêtes de cet établissement. J'aurais moi même pu faire une dinde entière accompagnée d'une casserole de riz correctement cuit & de mole de ma propre tante pour moins que ce plat ou plutôt cet échantillon de caille. 200$ pour encore avoir faim & être peu satisfait de la nourriture. Je ne comprends pas comment ce restaurant occupe une place si haute dans la liste des 100 meilleurs restaurants au Canada, mais je comprends pourquoi il est complètement inexistant du guide Michelin. D'ailleurs, l'ambiance & le décor n'ont rien de mexicain, une honte considérant la richesse du design mexicain. Puis, la serveuse française qui m'explique ce qu'est du riz mexicain, du mole & le processus de nixtamalisation alors que j'ai grandi avec cette nourriture était ce qui annonçait le caractère absurde de cette expérience. Les toilettes sont un point positif, l'éclairage fait de belles photos.

What an amazing meal. The plates were so light & fresh. My wife had an amazing vegan friendly meal. The dessert she had with a coconut yogurt & berries was memorable & Something I've been tasked to remake. Im in Spain several times a year & I can say whomever is funding their wines is really doing an amazing job go find the best. Our server was such a charming young lady. I can totally understand why this restaurant has so quickly became a top 30 location in Canada. Sorry I didn't take any photos. I'll be back for sure!

Cuisine raffinée, des produits de qualité, une fini exemplaire, des vins toujours aussi étonnants & délicieux. Une valeur sûre.

I'd seen Terraza Luz all over Instagram & was really excited to try it, but to me, it didn't live up to the hype. Yes, the tacos were tasty & the corn tortillas are hand-pressed. But $13 per (tiny) taco? We ordered six tacos total between me & my partner, plus one small lemonade, & walked out still hungry…
The setting is a back alley behind their parent restaurant Alma, which is fine. However, in the summer heat, there was barely anything for clients comfort (shade, fans). I wouldn't have minded the discomfort in any taqueria in Mexico but again, if you charge a premium price, you have to deliver a minimum on the customers experience.
& before I get the dismissive response that Ive seen in other reviews, telling customers to go eat somewhere cheaper with less quality, please know that I have absolutely no issue spending hundreds of dollars on great food & service in high end places to treat myself. But this definitely didn't feel like a treat & I will not be coming back.
Also please know that in Québec you are required to calculate the tip before taxes, not after!

Les Pop-up tacos du samedi sont uniques. La terrasse est conviviale & le service est efficace & attentif.

Nice food. Some of it was a bit awkward to eat but it was very tasty. Dessert churros were sooo good 😋
Great service, all the waitresses were great.
Ps: to the waitress who served us (sorry I don't know your name) you are BEAUTIFUL

Exceptional food tasting experience. Every dish was a hit & they have a great wine menu.

Very cozy little restaurant in Outremont. It's small & intimate. Reservations are recommended because there are only about 20 seats. They offer a tasting menu of high-end Mexican cuisine. We took the 5-course tasting menu because my parents don't eat much. Service here is impeccable. The waitress was very friendly & knowledgeable. The dishes were nicely presented & very tasty. My favourite dishes are the clam & the fish crudo. Very happy that I got to taste these amazing dishes made by Juan.

Best place in a while! Wow!! Amazing food & service!! The atmosphere is so warm & cosy we so rarely find that kind of place in Montreal. Love it 😍

It's a cozy restaurant in a nice neighborhood. The food was 10/10 amazing. Our favorites were the Duck & Pork Taco. The service there was super nice. Always explaining the dishes to us & making sure our water was refilled or if we wanted any other drinks. They always change their menu every 2-3 months so that their menu is always changing constantly. We got the 9 course tasting menu & it was worth every single penny. Make sure to book in advance so that way you can ensure you have a table. Overall will come again with friends & family. Also one of the cons of fine dining is that typically it takes so long to receive the next dish. I think we received a new dish every 10-15 minutes & if they saw us finished with one they were already preparing the next one to be served.
