We went here for a company dinner. Each bite of food was amazing as were their margaritas. They also had great gluten free options. The service was excellent. The ambiance? We were in a large group event area so not sure if the rest of the place. The steak carpaccio was a stand out! read more

Almara is a hidden gem in the lobby of the Gran Plaza Reforma hotel. Most customers of the hotel would go to the Plaza restaurant at the other end of the lobby where the breakfast line formed. But the Almara served a far better breakfast for less money!! I was even able to order Eggs Benedict which was not available at the Plaza. I had cappuccino and fresh orange juice. Again not available at the Plaza. And of course, the service was impeccable in a top class five star restaurant. read more

The service is top notch, with plenty of suggestions, frequent checks to ensure everything is to your liking, never rushed, always friendly. Started the meal with a romaine salad, to which I asked to add a side of grilled chicken. The chicken was grilled to a wonderful golden point, and the seasoning of the salad went along perfectly with the almonds on it. The crispy pork (Lechón lechal) was sublimely tender. In fact, the cubes were perfectly crisped, and yet the meat broke down like silk when cut. The complement of the red wine soaked pear, the sweet potato purée, and the dried fruits made this a light and satisfying meal, bite after bite! I had a seriously hard time trying to pick a dessert from so many great choices! Ultimately I went for the pistachio cake with passion fruit sauce, because by then I already trusted that every offering in this place is thoughtfully put together, and I wanted to try out something less pedestrian than a chocolate cake Finally, as if I hadn't been convinced this place was superb, towards the end of the meal, a chef committee review was held in a corner of the dining area. The comments by the judges were just as complimentary as my own... and I wasn't disappointed. The flavor composition was superb! Combining the cake with the mango ice sorbet made for a rich and refreshing flavor! The roasted nuts gave an extra crunch to some forkfuls, adding variety to an already succulent and creative end of meal! Without a doubt a great place to enjoy a superb meal! read more

Definitely a hidden gem connected to hotel galeria plaza reforma! I ate dinner here as my last meal of the trip for convenience, since I was staying in the connected hotel and therefore wasn't expecting much out of the food. But, I was shocked and amazed by how good the food truly was, and it was probably one of my top meals during my stay in Mexico City. Not only is the food excellent, but so is the service. Given the quality of food and service I would recommend this restaurant even to people not staying in the next door hotel. read more

I would have like to try the restaurant, but don't believe the hours went at 9:35 asked for a table. The waiter said they're closed went and found a different restaurant and came back. There were people still eating in the restaurant for this fact I live at one star . I believe if you were going to have a restaurant on yelp and have the hours you should honor those hours. read more

Lovely, quiet hotel-attached restaurant with delicious food, attentive and nice staff and elegant but understated atmosphere. The lechon dish alone is worth the trip. Come here if you want to have a dinner with conversation and relaxation. read more

We had such a wonderful experience here. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was lovely. Alan and his team are true professionals. Every recommendation was absolutely delicious. This truly exceeded our expectations. Every restaurant experience should be like the wine we had at Almara. We cannot wait to return. read more

Do t be put off by the fact that Almara is a hotel restaurant--the dining experience there felt much more special than that. Our dinner began with an offering of fine tequilas and mezcal (and the very refined dining room captain, Arturo was good enough to let us know that the first one we chose costs almost $40/serving, so we settled for something more reasonable (and still very sippable). The rest of the meal was lovely, including a starter of corn soup with flavorful poblano chilies, sea bass, scallops, vegetarian risotto and crepe brûlée. Each item was presented artistically and served formally by Juan and Guillermo. We are rarely looked after so well! Well worth it for a lovely night out. read more

Lets start by saying that the service here is simply impeccable. It's old world service, something very hard to find in the States for the price you pay for a meal here. As I sat down, a napkin was quickly placed on my lap, while extra virgin olive oil and a choice of breads was placed on the table. I informed my waiter that all the appetizers looked so good. The chef must of over heard me and whisked out some of the salmon Tar Tar for me to have a bite of. Omg it was so delicious that I ordered it along with the French onion soup. To my disappointment the salmon Tar Tar was just a gift from the chef and could not be ordered. I reluctantly settled on the tuna Tar Tar instead. It's the first time i was offered something I couldn't buy but was thankful I had an opportunity to try the little bite. The soup is like heaven. It has so much gooey cheese that pairs well with the onion broth and croutons, I feel as if I drifted away to another place of times bygone. The music playing in the background is jazz and standards which is perfect for the venue and a compliment to the menu offerings. The only thing I'm missing is the Rat Pack to come out and entertain me as I dine. The tuna Tar Tar was good. It was slightly salty. Not sure where the saltiness came from. I was a bit taken back at first because it was on top of a bed of quinoa, which was a first for me. I like pairing Tar Tar with the crunchiness of a crouton or cracker as it balances out well. I asked for something crunchy and they brought some chips. Personally I could do without the added saltiness and a little chopped chili, like a Serrano pepper would have made the the tuna Tar Tar a 5 star dish for me. Comencemos diciendo que el servicio aquí es simplemente impecable. Es viejo servicio mundial, algo muy difícil de encontrar en los Estados Unidos por el precio que pagas por una comida aquí. Cuando me senté, una servilleta se colocó rápidamente en mi regazo, mientras que el aceite de oliva virgen extra y una selección de panes se puso sobre la mesa. Me informó mi camarero que todos los aperitivos parecía tan bueno. El chef debe de oído y me llevaron algunos salmón Tar Tar para mí para tener un bocado de. Omg era tan deliciosa que pedí junto con la sopa de cebolla francesa. Para mi decepción el Tar Tar de salmón era simplemente un regalo del chef y no podía ser ordenados. A regañadientes me instalé en el atún Tar Tar en su lugar. Es la primera vez que me ofrecieron algo que no podía comprar pero estaba agradecido que tuve la oportunidad de probar el pequeño bocado. La sopa es como el cielo. Tiene mucho queso pegajoso que pares bien con el caldo de cebolla y croutons, me siento como si me alejaba a otro lugar de tiempos pasados. La música que toca en el fondo es jazz y estándares que es perfecto para el lugar y un complemento a las ofertas de menú. Lo único que me falta es el Rat Pack para salir y entretenerme mientras cenamos. El alquitrán de alquitrán de atún era bueno. Estaba un poco salada. No estoy seguro de donde vino la salinidad. Yo estaba un poco retirado al principio porque estaba en la cima de una cama de quinoa, que fue la primera para mí. Me gusta emparejar Tar Tar con la crujiente de un crouton o galleta como equilibra bien. Pedí algo crujiente y trajeron algunas patatas fritas. Personalmente, me podría hacer sin la sal añadida y un poco de chili picado, como una pimienta de Serrano habría hecho el atún Tar Tar un plato de 5 estrellas para mí. read more

The meat here is amazing!! Not the aged beef we get in the US, so much flavor! The tequila offerings here are above and beyond anything in the US! We opted for Maestro Dobel Cristalina...an Extra Anejo and a white. It's amazing...I know I have used that word so much but it is what it is. If you come to Mexico City seek out this restaurant, you won't regret it! read more

Terrible service from the waiter. The waiter then gave me a fake bill when I paid and I asked if it was fake, she said no. They called the manager over and the manager said that is not from us. I reported the incident to the police. They never gave me real money back. Other places will not take the fake bill they gave me. read more

Don't believe the 5 star review. I ate at this horrible restaurant while I stayed in their Hotel in a dusty room. I have never had worst Pasta in my life. I ordered Fettuccine with grilled chicken. The Pasta was overcooked so much it fell apart. I was hungry and yet I couldn't eat a bite. The Chicken was dry and tasted very old. The Food and Beverage Manager Leonardo Mejia contacted me after I responded to an email questionnaire they sent me. He did nothing to fix this bad experience because he obviously does not care about my future business. Stay away from Almara Restaurant or you will regret it. . read more

This is one really fine restaurant. Inventive menu, attentive service, knowledgeable suggestions of both the emerging Mexican wine industry as well as imported wines, good bar and a good selection of Mescals and Tequila's. I know it sounds like I drank my way through dinner but this place is so good we ate here a number of times while we were in the city. Try the seafood. It's really special. We tried the shrimp, scallops and sea bass on different nights and all were wonderful. This is a place that I'd like to start at the top and just our way through the menu. read more

The restaurant is phenomenal. Great service, restaurant decor is nice. Everything we ordered was delicious. We could tell all the dishes we had were well thought out to put together. My boyfriend was a chef, he was impressed by the food. read more

Leonardo and his staff were very professional and knowledgeable regarding meal pairing. Food was outstanding, from the appetizers to the desserts. Every single bite was enjoyable. We will definitely come back to Almara. read more

Elegant restaurant in Condesa with very good food and cocktails. They do try to steer you towards top shelf tequilas and mezcal when you first sit down. But peruse the cocktail menu and make your choices. Do order the tuna tartare and/or the seafood cocktail appetizers-- both excellent and beautifully presented. Regarding entrees, the sea bass was delicious, as well as the scallop risotto. The pastas are a little less successful being slightly over cooked instead of al dente. Coffee and desserts are good. read more

Great food and service. The tartare was really good. Also, highly recommend shrimp and salmon dishes as well as desserts! The vibe is awesome too. Great place for family, couples and tourists who wanna have a fine meal. read more

This place bills itself as a Moroccan-Mexican fusion restaurant. My margarita was delicious with Don Julio tequila in an up-glass. The ceviche on a bed of guacamole with exotic fruits was on point, served with homemade tortilla chips. And the ribeye was succulent and cooked to perfection. It melts in your mouth. Very flavorful! It's served with three large-cut french fries and some guacamole that will make you wish you lived in Mexico. Finally, the creme brûlée is creamy, caramelized heaven with fresh fruit on top! read more

Nice restaurant adjacent to a hotel from the Grupo Brisas. Excellent service and very friendly staff. While the beef carpaccio was excellent, the seared scallops on a asparagus risotto was a bit disappointing. The flavors were great but the scallops were clearly not the freshest and rather small. Decent selection of wines by the glass. read more

Almara is one of the best restaurants in Mexico City. They have incredible cuisine, and authentic dishes. I recommend getting the corn soup - it is amazing. Also, if you are visiting in the month of September, they make an outstanding Chile en Nogada. I recommend this restaurant for a date night or if you are looking for a more upscale dining experience when visiting the city. read more

We were very impressed by Almara. One of the nicest restaurants in the Zona Rosa, it is elegant yet casual enough to be comfortable, with pleasant decor and very attentive service. Wines from Mexico, France and Italy are featured, and we loves the tuna tartar with quinoa as an appetizer. For main course, the filet of sole was especially tasty, was was the snapper. We made an effort to leave room for the creme brûlée and soufflé, both of which were excellent. A great choice for a nice night out in the Zona Rosa (and its inside the Galeria Plaza hotel, so it's very convenient for hotel guests as well). read more

Very tasty cocktails, professional service, high quality food, and a very clean restaurant.

My gf praised my choice of this restaurant. Good serving and recommendations of dishes. Duck breast and shrimp (with cucumber spaghetti) are what we ordered and they were both tasty, except a bit too salty. read more

The food was excellent..we had fresh pasta with shrimp, zucchini and pesto, fettuccine with chicken, roast sea bass with artichoke and asparagus, tuna tartare, salmon gravlax and assorted salads. The complimentary appetizer of beets/borscht was very salty and spicy for our North American palates. On the other hand we were treated to another appetizer toward the end of the meal of casa blanco cheese on a skewer with cherry tomatoes which was delicious. The service, though polite, was confused and seemingly unprofessional. The staff should undergo some more training. read more

Can I say WOW!! The service was impeccable and the food was def on par!!! Highly recommend to anyone who's visiting Mexico City.

Some of the most fresh, best prepared fish and seafood I have had anywhere in the world. The Shellfish Cocktail is exquisite with the perfect balance of citrus, perfectly seasoned and flat out delicious - is a must have. Service is attentive and of the highest standards. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone if you are in Mexico City. read more

Such a gem find. Amazing service, unreal good great wine only draw back no beer. Salad was awesome pasta was really good too.

Everything is excellent, the service is impeccable and the food is outstanding. We started with the tuna tartare. I had the pork and my daughter had the duck. Presentation was spectacular and the taste even better. The olive oil for the bread ( which is served warm and fresh) was so good I could have drank what was left, but good manners prevailed and I did not! We shared the panacotta and a chocolate cake type dessert with ice cream. Excellent. You will love this place and dine beautifully and elegantly. read more
