The food here is great, our favorite is the Cheese Fondue. Service is always polite and does not rush you so you can have a nice dinning experience. Juan was our serve the last time we came in and he was excellent. The restaurant is classy and cozy, making you feel comfortable with high end touches.

After a week in Aspen visiting from Europe, this was the only restaurant that we felt we had to come back to twice. The food is spectacular, think cosy warm food that you've earned after a day on the slopes. The staff (especially Juan) are all brilliant, kind and knowledgeable. 10/10 overall and going on my personal list of reccs for my friends visiting the area!

Love it here. Regular visitors to CO. And we always make sure to have dinner here - at least once! Service and food are always warm and fill us with joy. Juan and Ana took great care of us on our most recent stop - could not have been more lovely.

We stopped here for lunch while shopping in Aspen. What a romantic and beautiful French restaurant. The French Onion soup was delicious plus very picturesque! My wife equally loved her Panini Sandwich. Had the Crepe Suzette for dessert, another winner. One of the cutest restaurants I've ever been in. Service is terrific. All French waiters. A most go to in Aspen.

Where do I start...I love this place so much. First, the cozy interior is the best place to be on a cold night. It is dim and quaint and magical. Second, the service is enthusiastic and charming all the way around. Finally, the food was exquisite. We tried the winter salad and French onion soup to start and both were wonderful. For our main courses we had the Beef Bourguignon and Lamb Cannelloni, which were both comforting and refined. Finally, the star of the show was the Midnight in Paris crepe, a magical marriage of a classic French crepe with crème brulee. We added a scoop of vanilla. Pure bliss. Next time I would order less food because they may have had to roll us out we were so full.

The Eispalatschinke crepe made me see god. Okay, so this place is absolutely amazing and situated perfectly. A small little restaurant below ground that is decorated immaculately to make you feel right at home. The staff are just incredible. They are fast, friendly and really help each other check on patrons to make sure you are taken care of. Finally the food, can i get a hallelujah!!! Everything was incredibly fresh, hand made and absolutely delicious. The Gazpacho was perfect for a warm summer day and you could really savor the flavors. The Boeuf Bourguignon was so tender it just melted in your mouth and the sauce was the best I've had. Now the crepe I've mentioned, it is my new favorite dessert ever and was executed flawlessly. Food is art not only in presentation and this was a Picasso/Rembrandt/Monet all in one. That pistachio ice cream with the fluffy crepe was a religious experience. I'll be driving the three hours just to get it again soon.

Now THIS was the Aspen dining experience that I've been anticipating! The place itself is AMAZING...so lush in its French and rustic chic decor-ambiance, with the perfect French music overhead. Pictures just didn't do justice to the overall vibe you get here...totally Aspen! Hate to use the word again, but their menu was also amazing...so many tantalizing choices, I had a hard time choosing. However, I finally decided to try one of their crepes (think it's what they're famous for?)...Nirvana, which was this Thai-influenced savory crepe. From its exquisite presentation to taste, that Nirvana crepe was truly heavenly. I also had to try one of their crepe desserts as well...and at the recommendation of the Manager (?), I decided to go for their "Midnight in Paris", which was this crepe w/ vanilla creme brulee custard and crispy caramel. Yummm!! I also tried their cocktail, Pink Panther...and it was quite good. Somehow I expected a bit more from this though. Service was top notch. From the moment you enter the door, you definitely get the sense that you're at a 5-star restaurant. These 3 items for lunch totaled 95 bucks (including tip)...and I wasn't even mad lol. Unlike some other Aspen restaurants I've been to, I felt that the foods, service and the ambiance actually merited the lofty pricing here. This was the 5-star Aspen dining experience that I've been looking for...so now I feel that I've finally experienced one of the best things in Aspen!

Incredible and Aspen to its core. The vibe at French Alpine Bistro is unbeatable, from the cozy decor, to the open kitchen it has a very luxurious but inviting interior. Keep in mind the small space does get quite chilly when the front door is being opened and closed often. The service was great, only slightly strange thing was main courses were brought out with appetizers but it wasn't a huge issue. The standout dishes were - raclette - coq au vin - Beef Bourgnon - green curry crepe - Nutella crepe
