I had the opportunity to visit it twice recently, once on a regular basis for Mother&#8217;s Day, and a second time on a private dinner with two regions of Catalonia, the Costa Daurada and the Costa Brava.

The restaurant run by chef Juan L\u00f3pez Luna and his partner, sommelier Lindsay Brennan, has around thirty of them, including its summer terrace (patio). But that is also part of its charm. All the people are close together, there are a few seats at the bar, in short, which will transport you into a slightly European atmosphere, all nestled in a sober, uncluttered decor. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Alma Restaurant on a normal night<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-54268\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Restaurant-Alma-Taco-de-carpaccio-de-boeuf-Ouvert.jpg\" alt=\"Taco de carpaccio de b\u0153uf du Restaurant Alma\" class=\"wp-image-54268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Restaurant-Alma-Taco-de-carpaccio-de-boeuf-Ouvert.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Restaurant-Alma-Taco-de-carpaccio-de-boeuf-Ouvert-200x207.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Taco de carpaccio de b\u0153uf<br>Photo : Normand Boulanger | Gentologie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What you need to know about Alma is that it is a Mexican restaurant, the country of origin of chef Lopez, who marries exceptional wines from Catalonia with superb local products from Qu\u00e9bec. Seafood and fish, especially from Qu\u00e9bec, are the mainstays, not to mention meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The restaurant offers a range of experiences to make the most of your evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Carte Blanche Menu<\/strong><br>This 9-course menu features the restaurant\u2019s best dishes, including a few exclusives. For two to six people.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The 5-Course Menu<\/strong><br>You have the option of adding \u00e0 la carte dishes, including dessert. Serves two to four.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The \u00c0 la carte Menu<\/strong><br>You can choose whatever you like, limited to a few people, as the restaurant has a small capacity. For reservations, the restaurant always releases a few places for the week, even every Monday evening. There is always room for spontaneity! You can join their mailing list to find out more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tacos Omakase Menu<\/strong><br>One Sunday a month, a 7-course tasting menu featuring tortillas and nixtamalized corn (a process to pretreat [maize (corn) or another grain] with an alkaline solution to make it easier to remove the hull), in collaboration with a guest chef.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Our first night: The regular menu<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the menu we had, in May 2024, it was a sea and mountain inspiration.
