Wow. What a treat this place was. We stumbled upon it searching for a place to eat while in Gainesville for a concert and Alpin Bistro do not disappoint. Everything was incredibly tasty and fresh. Prices were excellent, service and atmosphere were wonderful. Our server, Nick, was awesome in helping understand the different French dishes and he was speedy with the check when we realized we were out of time and needed to leave for our show at the Performing Arts Center. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer at this gem of a restaurant. Can’t say enough good about this place. Can’t wait to go back! Anyone who leaves less than a 5 star is to be ignored!

This French restaurant in Gainesville offers the best brunch I’ve had so far. Keep in mind that the menu is exclusively French. The drinks were fantastic.

shared a seafood quiche and their la parisienne crepe - both surprisingly filling yet light, quiche was super fluffy; crepe was very mushroomy!!

The best crepes in town, maybe even the world. Seriously this place has a great menu and their weekend brunch is worth a detour if you have never been.
The crepe suzette we got were flambéd in an orange liqueur and served with candied orange peels. We also got an amazing strawberry milk that was much more complex and natural of a flavor than we expected. I wish I could give 6 stars.
Don't 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.

Went on a triple date to Alpin. And the vibes were spectacular! It was on a Wednesday so we were able to take advantage of the bogo wine. And the food was amazing as well. The staff are so friendly, well-dressed, and accommodating. We truly enjoyed our time.
Crepes, croques and quiche! All delicious, different than the usual brunch fare. Portions are not small!

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 you're looking for a relaxed meal or something a bit special, Alpin Bistro delivers with charm and quality.

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…
