Nice restaurant, great food. I don't believe you get value for your money: Food is on the higher side and doesn't match the relax and plain decor of the restaurant.

I always have a fantastic time at Alora. The music sets the perfect vibe, and the staff’s service is consistently exceptional. I love the thoughtful touches, like the platter of fresh citrus fruits offered to enhance your water—a small yet mindful detail that makes a big impression. The service is always quick and efficient, and the cocktails and food are simply outstanding (though that almost goes without saying!). I’ve tried many items on the menu and have genuinely loved every single one. Alora never disappoints!

Service excellent et rapide! Nourriture très bonne! (Nous avons pris les gyozas, le fried chicken, les pasta aux fruits de mer et l’agneau). Les boissons sont correctes. Le mocktails etait bon mais le cocktail était beaucoup trop alcoolisé on ne goûtait que ça). L’équipe est très attentionnée!

We were there to celebrate my 16 yo son birthday and we absolutely loved it. The restaurant in itself is very beautiful with the high ceiling and it's nicely decorated. It's a trendy place and the vibe is for music and food enjoyment. It's definitely elevated. The service is attentive, friendly and effective. We shared their board (with Pinot Noir) - it's very generous and oh so tasty, cooked to perfection. It is definitely worth having it, but be sure you come hungry - the 4 of us were full and left with a decent box of leftovers that my son enjoyed in the morning. The add-on lamb chops were however a bit too strong and dry to our liking, but I am sure they would suit well-done meat lovers perfectly. The chai crème brûlée was perfection. oh and they also booked our table with a happy birthday note from the team for my son, such a nice and considerate attention. We will definitely returned. Thanks so much.
