Probably the best meal I've had in recent memory. Easily the best Mexican I've had in Canada. We had almost every dish on the menu between us and everything was great. If I had to choose one favourite I would say the ceviche. Special mention to the panna cotta, if you like dessert. Guillaume and Felix are great hosts too, they took great care of us and you can tell they put their heart and soul into it. Hope to be back soon!

loved, loved, loved this place! it's another reason to love Alma. a tiny Mexican cantina that serves ceviche with nordic shrimp, and asparagus with a delicious cheesy sauce (i admit, it was a little much for me, but still very enjoyable). the music is vintage blues and soul, the service is friendly, and the flavours marry well.

Delicious flavors but quite a wait and we were seated at the front without a chair back (but I think it was the cooks first day). Tapas dishes, 3 to 4 dishes for two.

Totalement délicieux! La pieuvre et la bavette de boeuf étaient tendres et savoureux. Le service est sympathique et rapide. Il se peut que vous ne soyez pas complètement rassasié par un seul plat (dépendamment duquel), mais puisquils sont à prix doux, vous pouvez en prendre un deuxième sans sortir avec une facture démesurée. Bref, une excellente expérience pour nous.

Mexican atmosphere in Alma incomparable. See the fun fresco as you enter. Amazing menus and frankly reasonable prices. Tasty and original. Passionate and colorful chef-owner. More focused on marine products - happily! A real Mexican touch in Alma. Dont hesitate to go there. The menu changes often. So, go there often! These cooking enthusiasts need a sustained clientele to make a long and happy living from their business. They are the ones who brighten up the life of small towns. So, whether traveling or for residents... go there often! Its worth the detour! As you pass, hang your feet at the door on the right, at the Merci la Mie bakery. The bread is delicious!

For an aperitif with little alcohol in cocktails its good. For a meal, go elsewhere: two small pieces of octopus (2.5 inches each for 16 dollars indicated on the slate and at the cash register 18 (error of the boss who did not give us the indicated price of 16 and certainly did not corrected the error on the slate, that would be a shame)) Overall small dish at a great price :)
