Review Summary

Alma offers a refined and intimate dining experience in Montreal, focusing on high-end Mexican cuisine that highlights local ingredients and meticulous technique. While many guests praise the exceptional service, creative tasting menus, and thoughtful wine pairings that elevate the meal, opinions regarding value remain divided. Supporters celebrate the restaurant as a unique culinary destination with standout dishes and a warm atmosphere, whereas some patrons express concerns about portion sizes, pricing, and the consistency of flavor profiles. Overall, it is regarded as a passionate effort to showcase sophisticated Mexican flavors, though it remains a polarizing choice depending on individual expectations of value and satiety.

It was our first time at Alma, & it's safe to say that we will be coming back. We went for the Menu Carte Blanche & everything was really good! However, what made the experience top-notch was Muriel's service. She really took great care of us. She went into detail explaining each dishes & each wine to pair. Overall, very great experience!

J'ai beaucoup apprécié ma première visite chez Alma. La qualité des ingrédients & la créativité étaient au rendez-vous! Chacun des plats que nous avons goûté était savoureux. Mention spéciale au crudo de dorade pour la présentation visuelle, la texture & les saveurs! Le menu dégustation est assurément une bonne option avec l'accord des vins. L'ambiance est agréable & le service attentionné. J'y retournerais assurement!

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.

Expérience très mitigée au Alma, mais qui se termine par une envie de ne plus y retourner. Les plus tout d'abord : - un service sympathique & agréable - un crudo délicieux - une belle carte de vins... Les moins : - La petitesse des portions. Nous avions pris un 5 services pour 79$ & je me disais que c'était une bonne affaire, en fait c'est le contraire. Les plats sont tellement minuscules que nous avons plusieurs fois été pris.e.s d'un fou rire avec mes ami.e.s. Nous avons ajouté un plat à notre 5 services pensant que ca allait nous aider à calmer la faim...nous avons reçu 4 petits morceaux de flanc de porc pour 32$. On est sorti.e.s du restaurant affamé.e.s... - La carte des vins est belle comme je le disais, mais très chère. Il n'y a pas de bouteilles en bas de 88$ & la plupart commencent plus autour de 110. Les verres de vin à l'unité sont à des prix prohibitifs. - Le prix pour l'ensemble de l'expérience est....incroyablement cher. À quatre (3 bouteilles de vin), la facture s'élevait à 980$ (taxes & pourboires inclus) pour très très peu de nourriture. Vraiment, une facture qui passe en travers de la gorge surtout que nous avons tous & toutes manger un vrai repas en rentrant à la maison pour calmer les gargouillis de nos estomacs... j'ai la chance de pouvoir fréquenter plusieurs restaurants de ce type à Montréal & jamais je ne me suis sentie flouée ainsi, je comprends que la gastronomie se paie & je suis consciente que le Alma sert des produits de grande qualité, mais là il me semble que c'était indécent.

Some dishes were over seasoned (too salty). The portion is small as you are sharing a small plate for two people on the majority of the dishes.

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.

We were almost scared away from this spot due to some recent reviews but I'm so glad we weren't. Undoubtedly lucky enough to experience top notch restaurants when traveling for work & this was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. The tastes, the quality, the music, the wine, the service. Couldn't have been better. Don't sleep on Alma.
