The much-anticipated second location of Alma Cafe, a Honduran restaurant, opened in February 2025 in Mid-City New Orleans. Chef Melissa Araujo, who has been recognized as a James Beard Best Chef South semifinalist, aims to share her rich culinary heritage rooted in her grandmother's teachings. The new menu mirrors the flagship's focus on high-quality, locally sourced ingredients and reimagined traditional dishes. Alma Mid-City also features an all-day brunch, highlighting popular items like Baleada Sencilla and Melissa's Pancakes, showcasing both Honduran and New Orleans influences.
Alma Cafe's new Mid-City location underlines Chef Araujo's commitment to showcasing Honduran culinary traditions while incorporating elements of New Orleans' rich food culture.
Chef Araujo stated, 'My mission has always been to share the soul of Honduran cooking, and the Mid-City opening is an opportunity to connect with even more people and introduce them to the flavors and traditions that I love.'
