" What a fantastic French bistro! The flavors were rich, and the ambiance was charming. I could hardly believe how good the croissants were. I indulged in several, and they were fresh out of the oven. The staff were friendly and helpful. It felt like a little slice of France right in Gainesville! A high recommendation for anyone looking for authentic cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Walking into Alpin Bistro feels like stepping into a Parisian café. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive as well. I had the Coq au Vin, and it was hearty and beautifully plated. A lovely experience that I look forward to repeating, as I also want to try their crêpes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This venue has a lovely vibe. My partner and I decided to drop by for a casual dinner and were pleasantly surprised. The cheese platter was wonderful, and I really appreciated the variety of cheeses offered. The only downside was that the outdoor seating was somewhat cramped. This place is perfect for a romantic date night, just be sure to dress warmly if you sit outside! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family decided to try Alpin Bistro for a special occasion, and it did not let us down! Each dish was flavorsome and felt prepared with care. The staff were pleasant, making sure our experience was enjoyable. The desserts were undoubtedly the highlight! Highly recommend the tart if you see it on the specials board. I look forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint little spot for a satisfying meal! The service was good, though a little slow. I particularly enjoyed the daily special of the day, and the dessert was heavenly! I would like to see a few more options for sides, but overall had a very pleasant dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a true French experience in Gainesville, Alpin Bistro truly delivers. I brought my parents here, and they loved every minute. From the charming decor to the exquisite food, everything felt authentic. The only suggestion I have is to expand their wine menu a little, as I found it somewhat limited. Nevertheless, I will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh my goodness, this place is incredible! I visited Alpin Bistro with my family last month, and we were all blown away by the quality of the dishes. Everything felt homemade and fresh, especially the tomato bisque. The service was spot on, with our server knowing the menu inside and out. We also tried a few desserts, which were heavenly! An exquisite dining experience that I’d gladly recommend to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)
