Alma Maria Pita

Fusion between Sweden, Lebanon and Spain

Drink med inspiration av svensk dryckestradition

The food

The food at Alma is inspired from Lebanon, Spain and Sweden. From Sweden and Lebanon you will find a selection of popular food with traditions from each country. Our Spanish menu is more well known for the Spanish visitor, but perhaps our skilled chef will give the food the extra touch that impress the taste.

Normally we serve food the tapas or pinchos way. That gives you an opportunity to try different food at the same time. But if you prefer a bigger portion of the food you like, of course it is available.

Alma is a restaurant with an exciting history. Fadi Ayoub from Lebanon worked at a restaurant in Las Palmas GC. Anneli and Thomas Sonesson from Sweden was often visiting Fadi where he worked. In april 2022 Fadi asked Thomas if he was interested to start a restaurant together. Fadi planned to move to A Corona in Galicia and their mutual journey begun. They found a location on a road called Oza84, but it did was not profitable and they decided to find another location. They found that the restaurant Pescadito at Maria Pita was for sale and at the end of February they was owner of the business. After a facelift they now are open and step by step develop the concept Alma. Welcome to visit us at Plaza María Pita.
