Alma + Gil

ALMA + GIL is a vibrant Toronto brunch café and emerging dinner destination based at 392 Dufferin St in the Junction Triangle, founded by chefs Gerry Quintero and Mandy Sou. Originally known for their cult-favorite breakfast sandwiches—like the pork belly and egg sandos paired with HK milk tea—they’ve expanded into weekend dinners, takeout tamales, pies, kombucha, and a rotating menu of tacos, burgers, and Vietnamese barbecue-driven by seasonal Ontario produce. 

The space is laid-back yet creative, grounded in pop-up roots and now in a permanent spot. With a menu spanning heartfelt street food (tacos, tamales, potato puffs) to sweet treats and house-made drinks, ALMA + GIL reflects both owners' heritage and a playful, community-focused spirit.
