When Mexico rates Alma as the best Mexican restaurant outside of Mexico we should, as Canadians & food lovers, rally around this cherished eatery, & support them with our reservations & dollars so the owners can continue to be the best. Congratulations to Alma!!

We ordered to-go & were pleasantly surprised with this place. We got the Macao salad, the La Sparta Salad, Smoothie Frappè, tiramisu, & latte. The salads were decent, nothing special. The smoothie frappe was bitter & tasteless. The tiramisu was phenomenal though- I'd order again just for this. It was rich & creamy, & made very well.

What a delight it was to eat at Alma! It is rare to have a chef's menu where every dish is solid, but I felt this was the case at Alma. From appetizer to both the desserts, I thoroughly enjoyed this flavour profile mixing acidity, fat & spiciness, something you won't get in French or Italian fine dining. The seafood was delicious & as well as the beef tongue! It was great to be exposed to different types of corn tortillas as well! It would however be great to have a bit more options of drinks for people who cannot drink alcohol. Although I enjoyed my lime-onade, I have to admit I was a bit envious watching my husband enjoy his wine pairing! That being said, we will definitely be back! A true gem in Montreal!

After waiting over 4 weeks to find a table & time to dine, & after seeing all the social media videos I was really excited to try this place, & it was sooooo disappointing. There were many factors that made the experience less than memorable but the worst was by far the horrible wine selection. Not worth the hype, there are so many great restos in Mtl to blow $300 for dinner for 2
