(1424)

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.

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!

October sure is magical. The holidays (and 2027) will be here before we know it. We’re already reflecting on the year and grateful for the chance to keep showing up every day and doing what we love.

Take minute to celebrate. We’ll be here 🥰

One of our favorite dessert w**e pairings is Sauternes with blue cheese. Named in honor of the Carmes de Langon monks, the original owners of First Growth Rieussec, Carmes de Rieussec is made possible by the mist off the local rivers, which encourages botrytis, or “noble rot,” to develop on the grapes.

Botrytis is a fungus that shrivels the grapes and concentrates the sugar, acid and flavor. Not especially romantic to look at but very useful in making delicious Sauternes!

Pair that with Roelli Haus Dunbarton Blue and you have one of the greatest culinary matches on earth. Sweet and salty, just like our monk of a W**e Director, James Hirdler
