😍 5/5 - Lovely meal – perfect on a winter trip to Aspen

On a recent trip to Aspen, my wife and I had dinner at French Alpine Bistro, after dining there last year and really enjoying the food and the atmosphere. If you want to feel like you’re dining in a wintry, cozy setting, this restaurant is perfect.
I do find it a bit annoying that this restaurant doesn’t seem to release their full restaurant availability on OpenTable when reservations open up. I went to make a reservation on the first day that our date was open to reserve, and only reservations around 5:00 and 9:00 were available. I emailed the restaurant to see if they had anything a bit more in the middle (which is what they tell you to do with reservation inquiries), and I never received any response. I ended up calling the restaurant and eventually got through to someone who was very nice and quickly switched us to a 7:30 reservation when I inquired. It seems that it’s not necessarily hard to get a better time, but you have to make extra effort and can’t just book it online.
The restaurant is very tiny, located sort of at an underground/basement level relative to the street. They also have a separate dining structure set up along the street, which has a much more enclosed, permanent feel than similar structures that were built by many restaurants during the pandemic. With a standard indoor dining reservation, you may end up having dinner in either location. When we arrived for our reservation, we were taken right to the outdoor structure. We ate in this same location when we came to the restaurant last year, and found that they still haven’t figured out climate control in there, as it was incredibly hot for the second year in a row. They have tons of heaters, to the point that it’s almost unbearably hot. At one point during our meal, another table asked if the heaters could be turned off for a while, which helped. It started to get a little cold once the heaters were totally off, so they were turned back on a bit later. It does seem to help to rotate them on and off to avoid a continuously stifling atmosphere.
Our server for the evening was very nice, and he was attentive, helpful, and pleasant throughout. We also really appreciate that the restaurant has a very nice French-focused wine list, where there were multiple options we found appealing. The wine selections are well-curated and generally high quality. We ended up getting a bottle of a red Chateauneuf-du-Pape to share, which was pricey, but really good and from a winery we know and enjoy.
Food-wise, we started with sharing a plate of the raclette, which we loved. We had never had raclette and understand that it’s usually served with a small grill to cook things yourself, but this one was a fully prepared plate of boiled potatoes, caramelized onions, and some charcuterie with raclette cheese melted on top. Pieces of baguette were offered on the side for dipping. It was really tasty, and I liked the presentation with everything ready to eat. The cheese was excellent and went well with everything on the plate. We’d highly recommend getting this as an appetizer, or it could work as an entrée too.
For entrées, we tried the moules-mariniere and duck cassoulet, both of which were excellent. The portions were generous in both cases. The mussels were in a really lovely creamy broth, which was thicker and tastier than the usual thin broth you get with most mussels. I had never had duck cassoulet in the past, but thought that was a really excellent dish for a cold winter night. It’s a classic French dish, basically a stew of beans and vegetables and a piece of duck on top. The duck was prepared perfectly and the taste was really nice.
For dessert, we split the Midnight in Paris crepe. We had the crepe before and knew we loved it, filled with crème brulée custard. It’s a really nice end to the meal and completes the theme of French and French-inspired cuisine quite well.
I’m really glad we returned to French Alpine Bistro this year, since it was definitely one of our favorite meals from our trip to Aspen. We were very happy with the quality of the food and the service. It’s a really cozy place that executes their dinner service well, with a great menu and wine list.
