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.

Service was impeccable. The staff were very friendly. The atmosphere & the vibes inside was immaculate. The presentation, which was creative & fun, is really the standout. It's very cozy inside. The food is very good as well, & there were 2-3 dishes in the Carte Blanche menu that really knocked it out of the park. The focus on local ingredients was also great. The highlight of the meal was surprisingly the duck breast, which was absolutely wonderful. There were a few dishes that lacked slightly in flavour or needed a little bit more balance (I must admit, I was more critical than usual because Mexican food is one of my favourites) but in general, a wonderful experience.

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.

Expérience parfaite au Alma hier soir. J'ai adoré chacun des 9 services proposés dans le menu Carte blanche. J'adore la cuisine mexicaine & je n'ai pas été déçue. Le service était exemplaire. Seul bémol : ça manque d'options de vins plus abordables & 1-2 mocktails.

The food is absolutely spectacular! The service is excellent. The overall experience is so unique by Montreal standards. Both the five course & the nine course tasting menus are totally worthy.
Each time we go it is a marvellous exploration of Mexican cuisine. This is a truly unique experience by Montreal standards & worth every penny.

The experience was one of a kind, unique. The staff were very knowledgeable & answered questions. Their ability to pair wines with the food was fantastic. A wonderful experience, 10/10 would recommend.
