Alpin Bistro - Gainesville (FL)

3 /5 Crayollla: UNIQUE BUT WOULDN’T COME BACK… We ordered several dishes, all which were pretty disappointing in terms of quality and taste. For example, the bread was super stale while the sausage was hard to bite and way over cooked. Soup was way too salty. The dishes and atmosphere is definitely unique but considering how we spent around $90 for this quality of food, we definitely would not come back…

5 /5 Derryk Wheeler: The staff was exceptional, especially our bartender. The food was spectacular, we had late night menu crepes. The crepe menu starts after 10pm, and they were perfect. The cocktails were perfect as well. Thanks Alpin Bistro! We went earlier this time, drinks were great, quiche was awesome, the brie app was very good. The chorizo brandy app was okay and the croque-saumon was okay as well.

5 /5 Myles Joshua Tan: Alpin Bistro offers a delightful French-themed dining experience with a cozy and inviting ambience. The food is consistently good; I especially love the escargot, balsamic brie, and chorizo iberico flambé. Each dish is full of rich flavor and beautifully presented. Whether youre looking for a relaxed meal or something a bit special, Alpin Bistro delivers with charm and quality.

5 /5 Standupmomedy: Dont know how you make a small place on a street in Gainesville feel like a hidden French gem (not the kind you steal from the Louvre) but the food, service and experience at Alpin will take you away. We had mushroom soup, onion soup, salmon salad, croque monsieur and creme brulee with whipped? chevre on the side washed down with a bottle ( I know...we splurged) of brut. Every bite was divine, outdoor space so quaint, friendly service and delicious food. We floated home and have zero regrets.

4 /5 Helen: While the service was a bit slow, the server’s knowledge of the specials really helped. I got the Norwegienne crepe, which featured salmon, goat cheese, onion, capers, and egg—albeit a little too dill-heavy, though it did complement the goat cheese. The Croque Madam was good but was a bit heavy in sauce and cheese. The egg would have been better if it was soft boiled. The Parisienne crepe was just okay. The interior is cute, featuring a large communal table in the middle along with more private outdoor seating. Prices were reasonable, and I loved the mix of savory and sweet options—definitely planning to try one of the sweet dishes next time.
