“This airy Avalon go-to is made for sipping tequila cocktails, feasting on fresh seafood and kicking back with mates. Located just metres from the beach, this spot is popular — and for good reason. It's got that casual northern beaches vibe, but it's the next-level Mexican fare that'll keep you coming back.”
The daily telegraph
“People are heading to Alma for their delicious and authentic coastal Mexican food. And this isn’t some generic Aussie-adaptation of Latin American dishes; instead, Jack and co-owner Tim Christensen went to the south coast of Oaxaca, Mexico to sample a vast array of the seafood-centric dishes.”
QANTAS INTERNATION MAGAZINE
“The laid-back Northern Beaches, about an hour’s drive from the CBD, is where city slickers go to get away from it all. Palm Beach has long been the king of the north but locals congregate in the elegant suburb of Avalon, with its chic restaurants such as Alma creating the heartbeat for a truly unique beachside community.”
