Alma by Juan Amador

We visited with my wife for our anniversary. Overall the food was divine and the atmosphere very pleasant. We loved the blue fin tuna and the arctic char. The combination of the flavours was excellent and it took us by surprise how well it worked. All the openers and the desserts were amazing. We really liked the wagyu main dish even though we are not big meat lovers. Maybe the weakest dish for us was the toothfish roulade, but that was probably due to our own personal taste preferences. Finally, the service was very friendly and attentive.

Food was incredible! Especially the multi-grain mantou! Had an incredibly great time celebrating my wife's birthday here last month. The waiting staff members were excellent and very polished. Sad to hear of the restaurant's imminent closing - wishing the staff all the best with their future endeavours!

Magical night celebrating my girlfriend's birthday together. First fine dining experience and one that changed my opinion on paying up for dining experiences forever. This place truly deserves every cent of the elevated pricing and their Michelin Star. The value they deliver in the quality of the food is immense. Every dish thoughtful and creative; every ingredient fresh-as-can-be and jam-packed with flavour. Yet with all that, still perfectly balanced both within each dish and within the course. It truly was more than a meal but a proper experience. I was honestly blown away, learning so much about what was possible with food. We both agreed that every dish was a homerun 9/10 or 10/10. From the simplest little starter down to the mains and the dessert, heck even their "bread" - a mantou with butter and crab dip - was insane. As a bonus we were served by wonderfully polite and courteous staff. A night we will never forget. To our bewilderment, we were one of only 2 tables around on a Fri night. Our heart sank a little when we were told that they would be closing for good in Mid-Aug 2025 after 8 years. We decided to come back again for lunch before then and it turned out to be just as good. Now that they will close permanently, this review is kind of pointless. But I still wanted to leave this here for posterity and for the memories. Thank you Alma and congrats on your brilliant run!

Second time here, and there are some changes to the place as the front is undergoing some renovation. Service was still friendly and the food arrived in a timely manner. We loved the fried bread done mantou style, which went well with the smoked butter. The crab butter was also nice but was slightly on the fishy side, as was the cauliflower pie tie. We liked the seaweed cigar, and the blue fin tuna maki. The beef rossini was well presented and everything tasted great, from the foie gras to the mashed potato. The beef was slightly on the tough side. Dessert was tasty and decadent with rich triple chocolate. Portions were okay - we had thought that we might still be hungry after the meal, but we were satisfied. Sparkling water was S$9 +++ per person, which was a tad on the pricey side, though they did refill the glass a couple of times. It tasted ordinary and it would have been nice to have a slice of lemon etc. You can buy a parking coupon for $6 from the restaurant if you park at Goodwood Park Hotel, and it is valid for the day, which was convenient.

Really impressed with the presentation and flavours, all the courses were beautifully plated and the flavours were amazing! Had the eight course dinner and everyone in my party had only good comments on the food, service was really attentive without intruding into our conversations. My apologies for not getting the name of the gentleman who took care of us and described every course in detail, kudos for doing a fantastic job! Will definitely be returning when they change the menu (was informed about every three months) as its really great value for money.

One thing that struck me immediately was how even though this is a fine dining restaurant, the experience of dining was very comfortable. No snobby or slightly condescending attitude that you find at some of these high class places. You know you are getting good food and in a familial, unpretentious setting. 4 Course Lunch at $78++ per pax STARTERS 🥚Egg (Supplement $12) Chicken Velouté, Cep, Hollandaise 🦐 Scampi Tartare Compressed Watermelon, Dashi Jelly, Watermelon-Passionfruit Sorbet, Avocado 🫛 Chilled Chawanmushi Espuma Edamame Tofu Puree, Ikura, Algae Powder Set Menu comes with one complimentary serving of Multi-Grain Fried Mantou. MAINS 🦆 Duck Breast Orange, Purple Cabbage, Tamarind 🐄 Snow Aged Japanese Wagyu A5 (Supplement +$58) Leek Ash Aubergine, Cocoa Jus DESSERT 🍑 Peach Soursop Sorbet, Sakura, Salted Buttermilk Sago, Red Shiso 🍊Petit fours Everything was delicious. Pairings were all well thought through. The most surprising being the dessert which was both Japanese in presentation and flavour.

Fantastic food and service. Great quality for the price. The aged duck was exceptionally flavorful, the snow aged wagyu flawlessly executed and the foie gras was pure decadence! We also appreciated the relatively fast pace of the meal.

Alma by Juan Amador offers an exceptional fine dining experience where every detail is thoughtfully curated. The quality of food and ingredients is top-notch, with each dish showcasing finesse and depth. Highlight of the evening was the tooth fish—perfectly executed, delicate, and full of flavor. Service was outstanding throughout, with sommelier Jessi standing out for her spot-on wine pairings and warm professionalism. A truly memorable experience.
