Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anna Chen

  • Award icon

    MICHELIN Bib Gourmand

    2022

From the OpenTable editors: Alma means “kind” or “nourishing” in Latin, a fitting description for its homey vibe and chef Anna Chen’s heartfelt cooking. Dishes like curried squid, which draw on Chen’s Hakka Chinese heritage and Indian upbringing, have the inventive power to land the restaurant a MICHELIN nod, yet are approachable enough for Alma to earn local favourite status.

    The food was inventive but not strange. The steak was particularly tasty. The service was friendly and personal.

    My friend and I had the loveliest time at Alma. The customer service was great, friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious and unexpectedly filling! We got the chefs choice that resulted in multiple courses and a lovely light dessert. I think the place is great value, delicious and creative food-whoever thought that radish cakes would be so delicious!!! I have to say the place IS a tad bit loud, some noise dampening inside may not go amiss. Will definitely be coming back!

    Along with Grey Garden and Lake Inez, Alma has joined my top 3 restaurants in the city. Each dish topped the one prior and the service was impeccable. We couldn’t have celebrated our anniversary anywhere better!

    Food was decent at best and for the price we expected much better quality. The menu looked great, so we gave it a shot. We ordered half the menu and were not impressed by any of the dishes

    We had a reservation but we’re sat at the worst table, smallest table next to the bar after a walk-in arrived before us and were sat at a much better table. Our table was not really a table - just placed there to maximize seating. Food was just ok. Not worth the trek to get there.

    Good service and yummy food. Portions were quite small, we ended up ordering 6 dishes for 3 people and still had room.
