My boyfriend & I went here for dinner & it was truly an incredible experience! We started off with a spicy margarita at bar Luz next door & was the perfect way to start our meal! Our bar tender was awesome!! Then we headed over to Alma & met our wonderful server Nico! We had the tasting menu paired with wine, the whole meal was simply life changing! Nico explained the history of the restaurant & every dish. Every server we met during our time there was so wonderful! We could not have asked for a better experience! I wish I knew everyone's name because they were just the best people! Thank you so much for THE best meal we have ever had!

We had an amazing experience at Alma! The restaurant has a great atmosphere in a sweet neighbourhood. The service was impeccable - the staff were incredibly hospitable & attentive. We opted for the nine-course tasting menu with wine pairings, & every single dish was outstanding, the wine truly amazing. It was such a nice touch to hear the story behind each course. It was perfect for a special occasion!

We had a fantastic tasting menu experience at Alma. All of the food was delicious, especially the tacos, duck & bunuelo. The theme was corn, & it was incorporated into the dishes. Our server also took the time to answer all of our questions. It is a small restaurant with few seats, so making a reservation is recommended.

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.

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.

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.

The food is absolutely spectacular! The service is excellent. The overall experience is so unique by Montreal standards. Both the five course & the nine course tasting menus are totally worthy.
Each time we go it is a marvellous exploration of Mexican cuisine. This is a truly unique experience by Montreal standards & worth every penny.
