Rechercher un restaurant du Guide MICHELIN

A potted history of the location that now houses Alma: it was once home to De Swaen, the restaurant where renowned chef Cas Spijkers, among others, was awarded one and then two MICHELIN stars. Today, Wouter van Laarhoven and Malou Hagenaars are upholding the restaurant's tradition of excellence. On the ground floor you will find the Bib Gourmand-awarded Alma Bodega, and fine dining restaurant Alma is on the first floor – a modern and elegant establishment with a fabulous terrace overlooking De Lind. Chef Van Laarhoven puts his heart and soul (alma in Spanish) into his dishes, combining inventiveness with technical skill. Authentic finesse lends a sense of coherence, while playful ideas breathe life into the dishes. In Mexico, for example, they got the idea of incorporating chicatana ants into beurre blanc, adding cocoa and umami nuances to their dish comprising briny Irish Mór oysters, buttery otoro sashimi, smoked soy and bone marrow melt. Rich sauces and subtle citrus notes take things up a notch. Rest assured you will find the perfect wine, as the pairings suggested by your hostess, who has a penchant for German wines, hit the spot every time.
