French Alpine Bistro - Crêperie du Village

Patrick Bucaria

Positives: The ambiance is great! It has a warm, cozy, and intimate atmosphere that really makes you feel at home. The dessert crepe that we got was also very good! Negatives: When an entree is $57 a plate the expectation is to walk away thinking that you had one of the best meals of your life. That was not our experience here. We got the escargot as an appetizer and it was okay. We both ordered the duck cassoulet and it was good, but not close to memorable. The reality is that if you've eaten at any good french restaurants elsewhere in the world, you'll likely be disappointed. Prices in Aspen are crazy but this is not an experience that I think it's worth paying the extra money for.

I'm Italian-American, an avid traveler, and a travel blogger—so I've had duck all over the world. This place had a really cute ambiance that transports you to the French Alps...but aside from that, the food is not worth the price. None of our meals stood out to me. They weren't bad, but for a $60 duck I'd expect the best duck of my life. Instead, you get an average duck, over cooked, with some sort of sauce and beans to fill you up. Really had high hopes given all the reviews and the price tag. Only menu item that was somewhat satisfying was the crème brulee crêpe. Would only come back for a lunch crepe and ambiance, but nothing more.

J’adore! The best place in Aspen for a memorable dining experience! A cozy French style bistro, great ambiance, and food. Fondue, crepes, escargot, filet mignon paired with outstanding French wines in a beautifully decorated space. We celebrated my best friend’s birthday and had a great time! The music transferred us to France. Highly recommended if you are on vacation in Aspen.

We had very high expectations for this place and we weren't as excited when we left. The decor is very cute and cozy. However, it is almost too crowded and makes it a bit uncomfortable when full. We were seated right underneath a speaker …Dear Leah, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere of our cozy, one-of-a-kind bistro, which the New York Times described as a "fantastic dining option". We believe in providing a memorable dining experience that cannot be found anywhere else in Aspen. We hope our prices (most of them very accommodating by Aspen standards) are justified by the overall experience. In saying this, we strive to provide great food and quality service and apologize for not being up to standards on this occasion. We take this situation very seriously and hope that you will choose to revisit us and give us another chance. If you choose to do so, we ask that you please speak to a manager upon making a reservation or coming in, and we will make sure you are well taken care of! Thank you.
