Alma Group
Our story
Alma Group is built around a simple idea. Modern Mexican cooking that respects the season, leans into the coast, and feels good to share. Two venues, shaped by two neighbourhoods, connected by one way of doing things.
What we believe
Food that feels bright and restrained
We cook with freshness first. Citrus, heat, smoke, texture, and the kind of balance that makes you want another bite rather than a break.
Seafood matters to us because we are a coastal group. The market matters because it keeps the menu honest.
How we drink
Agave alongside the table
Tequila and mezcal are treated as part of the meal. Cocktails are designed to sit with food, not dominate it.
The wines are chosen for brightness and ease, built for long lunches and unhurried dinners.
“Two venues, one philosophy, built for locals and long meals.” Alma Group
Our principles
Seasonal and produce led
Menus respond to the market and the coast, built around freshness, balance, and restraint.
Neighbourhood first
We build places people return to, shaped by routine, rhythm, and a strong sense of welcome.
Consistency over hype
Good service, good pacing, and food that shows up the same way every time.
