Busy hotel with really good food. I had chicken schnitzel and it was well cooked and delicious. My friend had the salmon and she enjoyed it.

Last night we booked a table in the restaurant and it was a great meal. The area was table service which meant we didn't have to line up. The area is nicely styled and the booth seats looked like a great spot for a date night. We had a table by the fire which was a good spot on a cold night. The food tasted great and was a decent serving size. I took half the curry home as I was too full from eating the garlic bread. Definitely recommend and would come back again. The desserts sounded so good I want to try them.

Surprisingly really good, being a suburban pub I expected the usual overworked grumpy staff, average food, the 'standard'...
But food was great, staff were sensational, really friendly and super efficient. I haven't had staff this good in a pub for such a long time. I'll go out of my way to go back. For a quick stop in meal I was overly impressed.

Had the Bottomless Brunch experience at the Alma and it was such a great morning.

The food is very fresh and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We had the Roasted Field Mushrooms and Snashed Avocado.

The other thing I love about the Alma us they allow you to bring your dogs along into the Courtyard area.

Will come back here again.

We came here after the Gather around at Norwood Oval (Kangaroos v Brisbane).
While they obviously knew that the pub would be busy, the line to order food was 30 minutes long and actually took longer to order than what it did to get the food out from the kitchen. Why not do QR code bookings from the table if you can't be bothered putting on more staff?
It seems like this place is penny pinching 🤏
Also the kitchen closed early even though they were busy from the football...
Food was pretty decent though.

The team and I went here for a quick lunch and had a great experience. Enough space, lots of parking available, indoor and outdoor with big screen and DJ desk setup. Service was good and food was great. Reasonable price too. We had pad thai, mushroom pizza, chicken and burgers.

Noted though that outdoor seats had few bird poo on the seat and table and so had to move tables twice but other than that still an overall great experience. Worth going to this one with friends and family.

Sweet potato fries were the starter and were just delicious. A must! I ordered the chicken schnitzel with mushroom gravy. Moist and tender. Came with a generous serve of chips and I chose garlic greens. The greens were perfect. My son chose the margherita pizza which he said was awesome. Service was quick friendly and it was nice to see this venue support young people with jobs. Atmosphere was warm and friendly and fun to people watch. Great place.

Came with the family, great atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and service was great. Great menu that would cater for most tastes. Kids meals were great, but would love to see beef schnitzel option. I had lamb shanks, very generous serve. My partner chooses to eat plant based, and the menu here is brilliant. Highly recommend. Bonus, fire place and bottled red wine sale. Definitely coming back.

I had my baby shower at the Alma recently and was very impressed. Sarah, the program organiser was very responsive to my emails and I made several changes at the last minute and they were very happy to accommodate us. All of my guests enjoyed the food and atmosphere, the fire place was amazing and kept us all beautifully warm on a cold wintery day.

Decided on the Alma as the menu has something for everyone. Loved that they have a plant based menu too. Not sure where the quinoa was in the "quinoa bowl" tho? Mostly all spinach leaves. My friends said that their steak & salmon was cooked nicely however overall food lacked seasoning. Lovely interior, nice food & service. Parking easy out back. Bit on the pricey side though but then everything seems that way these days.

Awesome place to go for the pub quiz on a Tuesday. Had dinner here twice and both times were great. Burgers, schnitzels, nachos etc - all good.

Specific shout out to the gluten-free pizza. It's the least-gluten-free-tasting pizza I've ever eaten - they're usually tough and hard but this was almost like eating normal pizza.

My parents also enjoyed the senior weekday lunch - $20 for 3 courses

Not many places are that customer friendly these days. But Alma Tavern is a nice place. They are known as good times specialists. Alma has a huge beer garden with a retractable roof and a huge fireplace, and a multi-section themed bar.
Friendly staff, good food at decent prices. Cocktails seemed a little watered down and full of juice, but maybe that's the price. 😯

Order one of each! Season the squid with salt and pepper to enjoy it piping hot and delicious. The nachos were spicy and approved by all of us. Great atmosphere will definitely be back soon. Parking is not a problem here. And bring in large groups so that you could try a few different options from their vast menu and food offering. They have a DJ playing ! A sky bar has its own vibes. Couldn't spend much time there this time , but going back to check just that soon.

Good selection of food that most times tastes great (although sometimes a bit over cooked). Includes a good selection of vegan options.

Service is quite slow though, even just for drinks so wouldn't come here if in a rush. We come here semi regularly on our lunch break from work, however we make sure to pre-order. The few times we haven't it's taken closer to 2 hrs between order between ordering and leaving (lucky our bosses are flexible!).

Lots of seating areas, a restaurant and outdoor beer garden. Nice atmosphere in all seasons.

Visited this place a couple of times. On one occasion it was to attend a talk show put on by the local council. The second visit was to take part in a pub quiz night that's held on a weeknight.

The Tavern is very conveniently located on the corner of Magill Road and Sydenham Road, on the eastern side while going out from the CBD. It's just a short drive from the city to get there.

The place is very cosy and the atmosphere was great on both the occasions. The food was good, reasonably priced and came out quickly.

The staff at the Alma were pleasant and helpful. All in all, a very nice place to have a meal and have a good time.

Spacious dining area with a good vibe to chill. It has some nice booths. Peking duck pizza was very interesting. Soft dough. And could do with more duck meat on the pizza. But it tasted pretty good. Sweet potato fries were crispy and thin. Very addictive and delicious. Chicken schnitzel was tad bit dry. Crumb was crunchy. Mushroom sauce was too thick and mac and cheese was too diluted and lacked flavour. House chips were not bad but not very crispy. Hit and miss

Well what a completely underrated meal tonight. Ordered the Pork Ribs with the "secret dry Alma rub mix" - would have to have been one of the driest, saltiest rack of ribs I have ever had. Not good at all.

Great food, service and so fabulous they take care of coeliacs like me. It's so hard to find pubs and restaurants who cater for us so well. I'll definitely be back! .

The Alma has become a regular for us for a quiet dinner (there is carpet on the floor so you can have a conversation without yelling!) with friendly efficient service and an exceptionally interesting menu for pub dining. The kitchen delivers what the menu suggests and more. Definitely recommend!

Great place, great food. Great range of vegan options, not just the one or two token options that most other pubs seem to offer. Celiacs catered for as well. Thumbs up all round

Friendly staff, good food. Still a pub, but a good quality pub. Good beer choices and better than average whiskies available. Not a stand out, but will always scratch the "pub meal" itch.

The food is amazing and very allergy/ diet restrictions friendly, absolutely no concerns navigating as someone who cannot have gluten and loved the range of options readily available. The staff are friendly and attentive (especially Kyle who was also fantastic when I needed an assistance animal friendly booking). Thank you for a lovely night, we will continue to dine with you guys and recommend it to our friends.

We decided to go to the Alma Tavern for dinner catch up with long standing friend of 45years plus who now lives happily in Darwin. Firstly we sat in lounge area and enjoyed pre dinner drinks - a great wine and beer selection to choose from. Dinner was thoroughly enjoyed in the dining room - accompanied by a bottle of Bleasedale Sparkling Shiraz. Can highly recommend this venue.

We celebrated our son's 21st in the Upstairs function room last night.nnPolly and Kyle at the Alma were fantastic.From the day I met Kyle then Polly, I knew we were in good hands. They did not fail to deliver. Polly your attention to detail and Kyle for keeping us in the loop rightvup to the hour of the function made this occasion a stress free and memorable one. Thank you both.nnA big thank you to the security guards who assisted our mother in law (wheel chair) getting up and down the stairs. You guys were amazing.nnDefinitely would not hesitate in recommending the Alma.

The beer garden is a really nice spot to have a beer or eat something. The fish and chips were really good, but the ribs were a bit plain. Still, good place to eat, the pizza looks very tasty, maybe I'll try it next time.
