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!

This restaurant offers catalan food & wines, served as tapas over 5-8 services. The concept is nice , & there is a need for such restaurant in the area. Although the service was great, the food was inconsistent. Off on certain courses, & surprisingly good on others. Given the price point, I would expect more consistency. The plates are inviting, but not technically right. Perhaps the chef is trying too much ? Wine pairing wasn't up to the expectation either, which is unfortunate from a cellar filled with bottles only from northern Spain... the team needs to rethink how to best combine the flavor, wine, especially at this price point . Ultimately, it fell below expectation to me, nor to mention that the size of our plates were very small. Promising, however, considerable work need by the chef & the owners to turn this concept into a successful story.

Inviting little tapas-style restaurant on a quiet street in Outremont. We ordered the five-course menu plus one extra dish & dessert.
At first, I was surprised by the first one or two portions, which others have mentioned, is on the small size. But the meal ended up being nicely portioned & well paced. We had enough food - even without the extra. Plus the dishes were tasty, creative, & nicely presented.
The wine pairings & options are great & the server was the ideal host - knowledgeable, friendly, not pushy, nor intrusive. I did not pay the bill, so can't speak to cost or value, but it was a spectacular meal & we happily recommend & visit again.
*The flan was divine!
