alpine restaurant

a butchery that opened a restaurant next door. the fillet was so so soft and tender. the sides are very interesting. gud selection of wine available. pricing very good for what u get.

great steak and bulgarian mixed grill. their burgers are quite nice as well. really nice for a sunday afternoon lunch. the service is not bad.

love the marrow bone and steak combo and the gourmet sides just take it to another level. the main issue with this restaurant is the inconsistency especially when serving bigger groups. the food gets to you cold on occasion or undercooked/overcooked.

friday evening. 45 minutes to wait for food and then 2 eisbeins arrive over cooked and dry, which we could ignore and continue, but frozen solid on the inside. we both cut a piece of meat, put it in our mouth and ice crystals met our tongues. horrible horrible experience.

popped in for lunch earlier today and ordered a chicken and mushroom pasta as my weekly treat! i must say i'm actually disgusted at the standard that i received,  my pasta was porridge, the cream sauce;watery, boiled chicken thats flavourless, no mushrooms. 

an overall terrible experience. how can a place charge people so much in return for absolute rubbish? a instant pack of dennys pasta sauce from pick n pay has more flavour than what i paid premium prices for. i will not be returning. save your self from below sub standard food and take your hunger somewhere else.

popped in for a last minute dinner out and we were very pleasantly surprised at the superb food we received at extremely reasonable prices. the service was right up there too. looking forward to returning to try more of the menu items as they cater for a variety of tastes.

what i really like about alpine is they get the basics right! good food, great service and value for money.
staff were all very attentive and you always got the feeling that everyone cared. i had the surf and turf with my steak perfectly cooked while the prawns were juicy and appetizing. my wife had the pork belly which was also cooked perfectly and the generous helping resulted in her having to get a take away for the remainder. try the chips with feta grated over them-such a simple concept but so delicious. the restaurant also has a selection of craft tap beers which is also an added benefit. overall my first dining experience at alphine left me feeling like i need to go back to try the other dishes. keep up the good work alphine, you will definitely be seeing me again!

we went without a booking for a quick evening out; warm inviting atmosphere. service was fine; food was great! will definitely be going again...

my wife and i decided to try this for sunday brunch. the chicken schnitzel was mediocre, the side veggies were delicious. however the crispy eisbein that was recommended by the waiter had a rubbery skin. it got sent back to be crisped. unfortunately the chef decided to deep fry it and the result was overcooked and still not crispy.

the manager informed us that they use the pizza oven to crisp it and the oven was not hot enough yet. so if you do try it, order it much later in the day.

we eat here often. the chicken schnitzel is my firm favorite. it is thin, with a thin crust that's never oily and is never overcooked. the chips with feta are to die for, thank you for the introduction. my boyfriend usually has beef and it's always cooked to perfection. he loves the range of craft beers although some are not always in stock. he also enjoys the sausage platter which is a starter. i've had the prawn starter twice and once it was oily and the mayo was overpowering and too much of it on the plate. the only non consistency. service can also be slow sometimes even when the restaurant is not busy but the staff are friendly. this place is definitely value for money!

we had a pleasant evening here. we hadn't booked and the place was packed but they managed to find a spot outside. the food was good and the service friendly. i'd definitely recommend a visit if you haven't discovered this local been yet.

service good here and food ok. not too wowed by the lamb shank - gravy a bit bisto'ish. my wife steak was yummy as was the pizza. a little loud in the restaurant with all the windows and doors closed for the weather. try on a sunday afternoon for lunch maybe?

in my short life i have had the privilege of visiting 100's of restaurants. i'm a meat lover, and a huge fan of pork ribs. i visited alpine because of it's reputation and rating on zomato. we ordered the bone marrow starter having had it before, it was leagues above the rest. unfortunately we also had the misfortune of ordering pork ribs, which i'm sad to report were terrible. after half an hour of fighting to tear the meat away from the bone, we eventually gave up. after doing a rough calculation in my head i'm almost certain that i expended more energy trying to eat this tough meat than i did consuming it. in short, we may have actually lost weight eating this meal. at the end of which it took 5 toothpicks to remove the monstrous amount of meat embedded between my teeth. if you're looking for a cost to portion size establishment this is your spot. if you're looking for quality keep driving.

based on zomato ratings, we decided to give alpine a try. what a good decision! first, the restaurant is light and airy (we didn't sit outside, but it looked welcoming, too). the wine list is extensive, and the waiters knowledgeable about the choices. 
hubby was planning on a steak, but chose the pork schnitzel instead, as it's one of his favourite dishes. i went straight for the pork belly - divine, perfectly cooked, and the option of having two sides just made it better. the caramelised beetroot was delicious and as for the gorgonzola broccoli - yum! our waiter was also very patient at going to find out whether anything contained wheat, and i'm happy to report that their sauces are thickened with maizena, not cake flour. 
good thing i didn't order the bulgarian tripe soup as a starter (thanks to our waiter's warning that it was *not* starter-sized) - i would never have been able to have both that and the pork! the portions are far too generous for that to be possible. 
all in all, a great new discovery for weekend lunches - in fact, i have already invited friends for lunch, based on today's experience.

alpine has a great food selection. pastas pizzas burgers and steaks. i tried out the steak this time and i was more than happy with it. you have a choice of 2 sides! i like that option. some feta fries and some blue cheese broccoli. alpine used to do this lamb gnocchi which i loved. why take it off the menu? bring it back! keep it up alpine. the service was great as well. very impressed overall.
