Alma

Chef Sergio Chamizo wants to educate his guests on the rich and vast culinary culture of Spain. At Alma, a sleek, industrial-style restaurant in Coconut Grove, Chamizo and his wife, Maria Polanco, serve food influenced by the chef's native Spain. Start your experience with the ajoblanco ($15), a kind of gazpacho from southern Spain, made with almonds, bread, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and Japanese mackerel. Then keep an eye out for the steak tartare with a miso-cured egg-yolk emulsion and smoked paprika rice cracker.
