French Alpine Bistro - Crêperie du Village

"Walk through the velvet curtains to French Alpine Bistro, and you’re suddenly in Chamonix (a.k.a. the French Aspen). This spot is dark and decked out like a European ski chalet, with sheepskin-draped chairs, copious candles, antique chandeliers, distressed mirrors, and vintage travel poster art. The menu is just as alpine-inspired, with velvety foie gras terrine, bubbling cheese fondue, and sweet and savory crêpes. Plan ahead for this one—reservations usually fill up as soon as they open, 60 days in advance. photo credit: Craig Turpin" - Katie Shapiro

"The name is the only thing that’s changed at Aspen’s most European dining experience, formerly called Crêperie du Village. Inside a wood- and fur-cloaked room, the restaurant serves dinner by candlelight. Feast on French Alps-inspired favorites like foie gras, escargots en brioche, fondue, and crepes. It’s sure to inspire your next getaway to Aspen’s sister city, Chamonix." - Katie Shapiro
