We got the tasting menu, food very well presented, but portions & flavors were not at its best. We had an apéro before going to the restaurant & after the end of dinner we ended up good in terms of appetite. I can imagine someone going with an empty stomach not having a good time regarding portions. Overused the olive oil in many dishes, lacking acidity on others, two steps were too salty & one dish didn't even have the black garlic mayo (described by the server, when I asked him where the black garlic mayo was located in the taco he pointed me out some fried crunchy pieces of garlic in oil) if you run out of an ingredient communication between kitchen & front of the house is basic so the server will give the proper excuses before & not making him look like a fool.

Enjoyed an amazing 9 course tasting menu paired with unique wines from small batch wineries from the Basque regions of Spain & France. Staff very friendly & service was exceptional. If you're looking for a delicious & artfully created menu with excellent service, look no further. Truly a special experience.

Visiting Alma was one of my top dining experiences ever. A well curated tasting menu, wonderful drink pairings both alcoholic & non alcoholic. The service was incredible, attentive & knowledgeable staff served the dishes & explained each one. We sat at the counter & had a great view of the kitchen & food prep. A very small & intimate dining experience makes sure you get a reservation in advance. We'd been interested in eating here in a previous visit & couldn't get a reservation. However it is more than worth the wait & the hype!

Had a wonderful experience here & was very happy I got to experience this restaurant. I tried a few years ago when I was in Montreal & I wasn't able to get a reservation. It was worth the wait the food was fantastic, a very creative fused menu with excellent service. The ambiance was also great. Low light with a lot of candles. It's a very small restaurant so it feels very private. Hats off to the chef for putting together a fantastic tasting menu.
