Octopus Garden Café
The Octopus's Garden Cafe & Bistro
A small café on the main street known for house-made fresh pasta with local seafood. It often has live music and craft beer.
Located at 8561 Main Street in Alma, this is one of the few restaurants in the village that does not focus on fried seafood. It has about 640 Tripadvisor reviews and a 4.4 rating, ranking second locally, and a Frommer's writer calls it their favorite in Alma. The signature is house-made fresh pasta with local seafood. The lobster pasta uses a lobster stock sauce with a clean flavor. All pasta can be swapped for house-made gluten-free pasta, and there are plenty of vegetarian options. The café serves coffee and craft draft beer and often has live music. Some diners reported that the pasta sold out even when they had reservations, and others said service was slow.
