Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anna Chen

  • Award icon
    MICHELIN Bib Gourmand2022

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.

    We loved our meal here and cannot wait to return. I know everything is expensive in Toronto now and this was no exception. Was the value there? Difficult to say. I've had recent meals that were equally as excellent that were less expensive. That being said, the service was good, food was excellent and the vibe was casual yet warm and inviting. I Definitely recommend.

    The food was way too oily. We had higher expectations since it’s been given a Michelin rating.

    Was very excited after seeing Alma in the newspaper almost every week. To start, a Bao and a Tuna handroll were a great introduction with interesting textures and enjoyable flavors. Between the Squid Fried Rice and the Pork Wonton and Noodles, I couldn't find a note of flavor aside from oil coating my tongue. Portions are fair and service is friendly and attentive. I don't drink and can't comment on the offerings there. Washrooms are clean and comfortable. The dining room was far too dark. Maybe I hit an off day, maybe it's not my style of cuisine. For the price here I was severely disappointed and confused.
