Overview
The team behind Auckland institutions Amano, Ortolana and The Store has opened an all-day restaurant inspired by the food and culture of Andalusia, the region bordering Spain's southern coast.
The idea for Alma, which means 'soul, heart, spirit', was inspired by an adventure through the region by Hip Group's Jackie Grant, Jo Pearson and Natasha Parkinson. At the new opening on the corner of Britomart's Gore and Tyler Streets, the food travels through seasons, incorporating produce and localities from here and afar across a selection of flamed-kissed small plates.
Lunch and dinner brings out the likes of tuna crudo with piquillo peppera and anchovy; octopus with ensalada rusa and jamon; lamb with tahina, zhoug and spinach; and crayfish tail cooked with garlic and olive oil.
The wine list of course features an extensive selection of Spanish wines — like tempranillo, verdejo and albariño — alongside some New Zealand-grown Spanish varietals. Spanish sherries and vermouths are there, too, as well as an extensive gin list.
