A night to pamper yourself with unique Mexican dishes & carefully curated wines. If you are to go, do the 5or7 course meal with the pairings. No other way to do it!
The experience was great but hard to look at the bill at the end. You really have to enjoy artistry & creativity in the food you eat
Alma is a nice place to go. A rare Mexican fine cuisine restaurant. Service is not yet up to the fine restaurant standard, friendly, polite but lack of that special care, knowledge, ease & attitude we used to find in fine restaurants.
It's great to have a Mexican fine cuisine in Montreal. Dishes are nice & fresh. Menu choice of dishes are large, ranking from Catalan influence to Mexican style. I can sense great chefs efforts to elevetate Mexican cuisine. The results could be difficult for most people to appreciate at it true value.
On a table of 5, all ranked it nice, but only 2 of us had the wow experience thru the palate.
Be aware, so you won't be shocked, some dishes are'degustation' type fine dishes with no bigger portions than the ones found in 2-3 starred restaurant. I can easily see they are done with great care, great passion, great innovation effort, but may convoit anger if client is not aware of.
For better overall satisfaction, staff may gain spending more time to educate clients on the effort the chef is trying to elevate the degustation side of these specific fine mexican dishes.
I liked the place, but wouldn't recommend it to bring any type of guest there, except those having deep pockets & love to discover new, esoteric blend of fine tastes & flavors.
Congratulations for your place in the North America's 50 best. Keep going & keep improving the quality of your service.
Truly one of a kind & in a category of it's own. You can tell the chef is really passionate & Mexican elements are shining & re-thought with care & precision.

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.
A small but powerful restaurant. Excellent Mexican inspired cuisine. Attention to every detail. Designed as a fixed course menu. Allow for a good 1.5 hours to experience it as it was designed
We went to their terrace for tacos today. The suadero was good, definitively not worth the $9 per taco. On the other hand the rajas were a disgrace. I don't know how a Mexican chef dared to serve those tacos.
My husband & I took the 5 course meal & added the dessert. Everything was delicious from A to Z. Every dish had an explosion of flavours in our mouth. For someone who loves Mexican food & seafood the combination of both was just perfect. After the 5 courses we were already feeling full but we were glad we ordered the churros, they were the best we've had! They were served hot, soft on the inside & crunchy on the outside, bite-sized heaven!
We shouldn't forget the impeccable service provided by the whole staff, hostess, waitresses & we even got to meet the chef who came out to chat with us! In love with this place ❤?
I'm stunned & full of love for this amazing labor of love that merges Quebec's finest local ingredients into the best gourmet Mexican cuisine I've ever had. Wow, what a chef!
Super restaurant that serves some of the best Mexican food outside of Mexico.
We ordered the 5 course menu & it did not disappoint. All the corn products tasted just what I remember from Mexico. The highlight was the tetela with pipian, which tasted just as the ones my grandmother used to make. The fish dish was super simple & super delicious, & delicate flavors.
We ordered the tlacoyo, which was extra from the menu. It was ok, nothing out of this world, plus it was a little raw in the middle. However, the salsa that came with the tlacoyos was to die for. The spiciness & the flavors well super well balanced.
The only comment I have is that some of the portions seemed a bit small & for someone who has a good appetite, I was still hungry at the end of the meal.
