Tucked away in Montreal's tranquil Outremont neighborhood, Alma embodies a confluence of culinary traditions and vinicultural passion, a brainchild of chef Juan Lopez Luna and sommelier Lindsay Brennan. This petite haven marries the robust flavors of Mexico with the delicate nuances of Mediterranean cuisine, all underscored by a profound appreciation for Catalan natural wines. The space, intimate and warmly appointed by friends and family of the owners, invites diners into a world where the spirit of Catalonia's 'vino con alma'—wine with soul—permeates every aspect. Every dish tells a story, especially the chef’s signature nixtamalized corn tortillas, a nod to ancient Mexican traditions. The dining experience is elevated by their 'carte blanche' menu, offering diners a curated journey through seasonal specialties, paired with rare vintage wines.
