(Canada's Top 100)Located off the beaten path in the heart of Outremont, Alma is an intimate 24-seat restaurant showcasing modern Mexican cuisine with authentic techniques and flavours combined with local Quebec ingredients. It is operated by the couple, Chef Juan Lopez Luna et sommelier and wine importer Lindsay Brennan. Alma offers a tasting menu experience (5 or 9 courses) inspired by the concept of "mar y montana", largely influenced by Chef Juan's childhood memories of central Mexico as well as the couple's time spent on the coastal region of Oaxaca. Lopez is one of the few chefs in Canada working with heritage corn from Mexico, making fresh masa in-house each morning and tortillas by hand with his grandmother's traditional tortilla press. The wine list specializes in sunshine-filled Catalan wines from a unique group of winemaker-friends from the Barcelona region. Alma is the Canadian destination for Catalan wines, with a deep cellar of back vintages and rare cuvées.

We love this place. My wife and I both love to cook, travel and consider ourselves to be big foodies. Tonight was probably our 10th time there over about 30 months. The food is always on point, and consistently excellent. The food is fresh, vibrant skillfully prepared and presented beautifully. Crispy shrimp, Tom Yom Seafood… Amazing. ,Papaya salad, Pork fried rice ( tremendous depth of flavor and spice, and a fabulous Pad Thai shrimp are our go to items. All are outstandingly orepoared. Spice level are real here unlike many places that are not really spicy. Make sure to reserve. Mitch.
