Alma Montreal

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

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 came on a Thursday at 6pm so it was pretty quiet. We had a really great experience. I read a lot of mixed reviews & wasn't sure what to expect. Yes it's expensive yes the portions are fairly small. But the food was very very good, the people were really nice & not pretentious what so ever (easy to come across in the high end restaurants). The ambiance was nice. Wine was good! I didn't do the full pairing more just did 1/2 glasses as it made sense. I would come back & certainly recommend to others

Spent 700$ for 2 people on full menu (9 courses plus wine pairings). Left drunk & hungry. Portions so tiny, my stomach was just sloshing with alcohol.
Was the food tasty? Sure. Would I come back to Alma? No. If I'm spending that much money to walk away hungry, there are much better options in Montreal to spend 700$ for 2 people.

We had the carte blanche with the wine pairing. Beautiful plating & well executed textures but many dishes lacked depth of flavour & spice. The tacos de setas & their signature seabream crudo were the standout dishes.
The selection of Catalan wines was interesting, though several pairings didn't quite complement the dishes as well as expected.

World class tasting menu. World class wine pairings. Can't say enough good things about this place. A must visit.

Sat at the chefs counter so we could engage with Chef Juan & his incredible wife, Lindsay, who is an incredible sommelier & importer of many of their wines. Went for the 9 course carte blanche pairing menu.

We've had two wonderful visits to Alma in the last four months - first the 9 course menu with wine pairing & then the 5 course menu - the molés are out of this world - complex & memorable.

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!

We initially reserved the 5 course meal menu but ended up adding a few items to complete the 9 course meal. The place is very charming & low key. Service was very attentive & knowledgeable. The food was exceptional. The organic, Spanish wine pairing was not my favorite... the majority were white or rose & tasted very much alike (& not in a good way).
