Alma Restaurant in Joburg Is Turning Fire Into Flavour

Where Fire Meets Soul

There’s something primal about cooking with flame. It speaks to memory, to tradition, to the kind of flavours you don’t forget. Alma Restaurant in Johannesburg doesn’t just lean into that – it builds an entire experience around it.

Set in the heart of the city, Alma isn’t your typical steakhouse. It’s not about predictable grills or overpowering meat portions. Instead, it’s a celebration of everything flame can do, with dishes kissed by open embers, seared on cast iron, or charred in a wood-fired oven. Here, cooking with fire becomes an art form.

A Menu Inspired by the World, Grounded in Soul

Alma draws its name from the Spanish word for “soul,” and you can feel it in every bite. The menu brings together flavours from around the world, weaving in ingredients from land, sea, and soil. Whether you’re digging into a sharable plate or savouring a fire-seared main, the approach is always the same – bold, intentional, and full of heart.

It’s the kind of food that makes you lean in, pass plates across the table, and get talking. Think less steakhouse, more soul kitchen with flair.

A Space Built for Sharing

At Alma, the food is only half the story. The space itself invites you in, textured and warm, with a communal bar and tables built for lingering. Whether you’re there for an intimate dinner or a long-overdue catch-up with friends, Alma sets the scene for connection.

And then there’s the bird – the symbol of the restaurant, quietly perched in its logo. It represents freedom, journey, and togetherness, echoing Alma’s mission to bring people closer through a shared love of food and culture.
