About Alma

Alma is a Balkan restaurant by Chef Vedran Jordan, shaped by the flavors and memories of his childhood. Each dish draws from family tables, seaside markets, and the quiet rituals of cooking passed down through generations. Vedran weaves these remembrances with the bounty of the Pacific Northwest, bringing bold spices, Mediterranean warmth, and Adriatic soul into harmony with hyperlocal, seasonal ingredients. The menu becomes a celebration of place and memory—an invitation for Portland to taste the stories that shaped him.
