Alpin Bistro

One of the nicest & best kept secrets in downtown Gainesville. Great specialized food from the French cuisines. Authentic with nice atmosphere. Ask for the guitar live shows, they're nice. Great choice for an evening outing on town. Would go many times when given a chance. It's a bit on the smaller size, cozy but may get crowded, reserve ahead.

Food was very good. Had the salad special and a cheese plate. Super generous portions and great flavor. Wines and french cider were well curated. Service was nice, but pretty slow, and the restaurant wasn't all that busy. I would definitely come back. Pleasent atmosphere.

A quaint hole in the wall that serves authentic French plates and other small tapas. It's an amazing date spot or even just a place to grab a glass of wine and hang out. The food is absolutely delicious and worth every penny. I highly recommend any of the quiches on special or the croques on menu.

I have spent Valentine's day with my girlfriend at this location 2 years in a row. The vibe is fancy while also casual. Their website design is astounding, kudos! I recommend this location for a date night for any couples in the area. A great place for wine and cheese.

Delightful and cozy bistro great for sharing wine, time, and cheese with a while group of friends, or just someone special. The atmosphere is nice, but the live music can get a little loud sometimes. The staff are also capable of suggesting good pairings, vital for a small place like this. The small plates are excellent, and having tried most on the menu, come highly recommended. The location is alright, and if you come after 6, there is parking easily available. Otherwise, you've got to pay for parking or find street parking nearby.
