(1423)

Alma has been welcoming guests with authentic hospitality and diverse, contemporary American cooking for nearly two decades. We offer a casual, comfortable environment worthy of both celebrations and everyday visits, 7 days a week. The Cafe is a relaxed place for eating and socializing. Counter-service, table-side digital ordering and online take away available. Restaurant Alma features a nationally recognized seasonal tasting menu perfect for special occasions. Dinner only - reservations recommended. We also offer seven guestrooms for overnight stay. Our comfortable, well appointed domestic spaces will be appreciated by travelers looking for a vibrant urban location as well as locals looking for an convenient getaway. Opened in 1999 by Chef / Restaurateur Alex Roberts in a historic firehouse & adjacent speedboat factory, the spaces were reimagined and designed by James Dayton Design and Talin Spring in 2016. Our approach towards the operation of Alma is truly collaborative, and we believe that every single member of our team is integral to our success. We are committed to creating a learning environment where all staff can thrive.

Brussels sprouts are wonderful this time of year. But, preparing enough of them for Thanksgiving? An absurd amount of work for such a tiny vegetable. Trim, peel, halve. Repeat until you regret volunteering to host in the first place.

Fortunately, we love prepping sprouts. Our Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Apple are just one of the handmade sides included in Alma’s Everything But the Turkey Thanksgiving package.

You handle the bird. We’ll happily take care of the little cabbages.

Packages are available to order now on Tock. Link in bio.

Red Beet Farrotto with mushroom jus, Parmigiano and fresh Burgundy black truffle.

Farro is cooked slowly with mushroom stock and beet juice until tender and creamy, then finished with roasted red beets, a deeply savory mushroom broth and generous shavings of black truffle.

Earthy, rich and unmistakably fall. Now at Restaurant Alma 🥰

What can a job as a line cook teach you about life? Quite a lot, according to Ari Weinzweig.

Next Monday, we’re welcoming the co-founder of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses to Café Alma for a conversation about the lessons learned over a lifetime in food and hospitality, and how those lessons extend well beyond the kitchen.

Ari has spent more than four decades building one of the country’s most admired food businesses, with some unconventional ideas about leadership, work and what it means to run a good business.

Join us for an evening of stories, conversation and a little food for thought.

Monday, October 19 | 6–8 pm
Café Alma | 528 University Ave NE

Free and open to all, but space is limited. Reserve your seat through the link in our bio!
