" Delicious crêpes, but beware of the prices! I feel that the portions are a bit small for what you pay, which is frustrating when you're paying top dollar. Still, the flavors are on point, and I enjoyed the outdoor seating on a sunny day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high expectations based on the reviews but left feeling conflicted. While the ambiance is charming and the staff very friendly, the food did not live up to the hype. I had the Old Towner crêpe that was tasty but not extraordinary, and the portions were smaller than what you’d expect for the price. I doubt I’ll return. " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming café with good food but a few hiccups. The service was satisfactory, though we waited longer than expected for our drinks. The crêpes were tasty, though not filling enough, especially considering the prices. I’d give them another go, but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visit Fontaine each time I’m in Alexandria because it never disappoints! They offer truly authentic French crêpes, and I love the dessert options they have. On this visit, I tried the Virginia crêpe with ham and apples, and it was incredible! I recommend eating outside for a great view of the town. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fontaine Caffe is a must-visit when you find yourself in Old Town. The incredible flavors of their crêpes make up for the slightly high prices. The outdoor seating is lovely, but be mindful of the crowds. A great spot to enjoy casual dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the opportunity to experience Fontaine during a press event, and I must say, they exceeded all my expectations! The crêpes were divine and full of flavor. It’s a joy to find a restaurant that pays homage to traditional French cuisine in such a charming manner. Looking forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Fontaine has been lovely! The atmosphere just serenades you with its quaintness. I usually opt for the mixed berry crêpe for dessert, and it is just heavenly! The friendly staff makes the experience even better. I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)
