St Alma · Freshwater

About us

St Alma is a neighbourhood Mexican restaurant in Freshwater, built for locals who want great food without the fuss. Seasonal plates, agave forward drinks, and a calm venue designed for weeknights, long lunches, and easy dinners.

The idea

St Alma is the quieter sibling to Alma Avalon. Same DNA, expressed in a more relaxed neighbourhood setting.

We focus on seasonal ingredients, confident flavours, and menus that make sense whether you are dropping in for tacos or settling in for a long dinner with friends.

How we cook

  • Modern Mexican flavours with a coastal influence
  • Plates designed for sharing
  • Menus that change with the seasons
  • Dietary friendly options across the menu
Inside St Alma Freshwater

Drinks first, always

Our drinks list is built around agave spirits. Margaritas, tequila, mezcal, and cocktails designed to sit comfortably alongside the food.

The wine list is short, considered, and chosen to pair with the menu rather than compete with it.

The venue

Bright, relaxed, and local. St Alma is designed to feel familiar from the first visit.

It works just as well for a casual date night as it does for group dinners, family lunches, or midweek catch ups.

“Good food, done properly, in a venue you want to come back to.” The St Alma approach

Part of Alma Group

St Alma is part of Alma Group, alongside Alma Avalon.

Each venue has its own personality, but they share the same values around food, service, and hospitality.
