alpine restaurant

took my boyfriend for steak and ribs for his birthday at alpine, and it was the perfect birthday experience!

the staff were friendly with their wine suggestions, and the manager even came over to contribute. all of the steaks arrive with marrow bones, which is such a unique and creative touch! this is actually the reason why i picked alpine instead of a different steak house.

our meat was done wonderfully, and the service was sharp and friendly. our waiter, lesley, was just awesome. the fact that you can have any 2 sides with your steak is very generous and pleasing as well. my chips and cinnamon butternut were divine, and my sirloin was cooked to perfection.

my only complaint is that many of the imported wines advertised were not available. otherwise, i highly recommend alpine restaurant!

what a shocking experience. how they stay open is beyond me. dreadful meal, zero ambiance, horribly overpriced. at least put on some music to create an atmosphere. was there a week ago and it still annoys me that i had to part with hard earned money to pay for that meal!

can't believe i've taken so long to visit this gem, right on my doorstep. service was excellent, staff attentive and food was brilliant - both top class and value-for-money. bravo!

prepare to have the best service in jhb. seriously, eat outs top 10 jhb restaurants cannot compete with this service and believe me, i have very high expectations.

my husband picked this restaurant for us for an anniversary, because of its high zomato score. as we walked in and was shown to our table, we arrived to find a stunning bouquet of flowers and an ice cold bottle of mcc, already set up! the waiter, biggie, was just the most awesome guy. turns out he suggested to my husband that he buy the flowers and get the champagne cold, when my husband made the reservation over the phone. how nice?

we both ordered the aged rib eye with sides and the presentation was lovely. the bone marrow is out of this world, however, our only negative critique is that the quality of the meat was average. not bad, just not up to par with the high level of service. and this is such a pity, as they are connected to the butchery next door! we both had a very tough piece of meat and again, the service made up for that. the manager came around, explained and took it back to the kitchen and return with another piece of steak to make up for it.

we then had dessert and a shot of grappa on the house.

all in all a lovely experience. will definitely go back. want to try their breakfasts.

absolutely love this hidden gem! originally a great deli/butchery they expanded and opened a little attached restaurant that you know will always have fresh meat. so going in expectations are high and for me they meet and surpass the expectations. 

the service is always good and the food is fantastic. the fillet with bone marrow is simply mouth watering, the calzone is a one-of-a-kind, flavour filled, stuffed to the brim, bundle of absolute joy. on my last visit the lamb was cooked to perfection, it could have done with a little less sauce but overall very good. all of their sides are super tasty and their wine selection is to die for (i think one of the owners must be wine collector).

the outside deck seating under the trees is perfect for the summer and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. its is a good place for a quite dinner with a few friends/family or your so. this is definitely my go-to for a great piece of meat done to perfection - a fillet done past medium-rare should be a considered a crime ;)

we stumbled upon this gem 3 months ago by chance, and have been there six times since. the steaks are some of the best i've ever eaten, and the pastas are world class.the service is always fantastic.

one of my favourite restaurants in jhb! definitely a hidden gem. the food is great, service is a bit slow but always worth the wait and the variety of the menu allows you to experience something new over and over. try their tomatoe soup!! the best thing to happen to this foodie in 2015! see you later alpine!

we went to alpine restaurant tonight for a date night. we got a table outside and the breeze under the tree was great in this heat.

we couldn't decide what we wanted from the diverse menu. everything looked interesting and worth a try. we ended up choosing the steaks with marrow bone and two sides. my husband loved his t bone, my rump was unfortunately over done and not that great.

the sides were amazing. the gorgonzola broccoli was completely moreish.

lovely evening although a little disappointing on the steak side.

what a lovely spot. the food is good, the service attenitive and although the food took a while to arrive it was absolutely worth the wait. if you are looking for a solid meal that wont make you regret spending hard earned cash, check this place out.

what an absolutely stunning restaurant! we were seated out on the deck under trees. it is always good to be outside after sitting in front of a computer all morning.

my only complaint is that the food took a while to come out. this was a bit of a problem as we came during lunch hour, which turned into a two and a half hour lunch. 

the food was well worth the wait! i ordered the half chicken. the dish came with a choice of two sides. i went with the chips and spinach. the chips were fresh and the flavouring was delicious and the chicken was exceptionally tender with an amazing bbq flavour.

unfortunately the photos do not do the meal justice. trying to take photos under a tree just didn't working out well.

overall, a very relaxing, delicious lunch! i will definitely be visiting alpine again!

alpine restaurant is an intimate and cosy little spot that always delivers. the steak taretar starter is always a winner as the capers are crispy, salty and divine! the lamb burger and steak are tied for mains as both are amazing!
if you're like me and enjoy sitting outside, there is a lovely outside seating area for those that prefer al fresco.

the steak was good cannot fault that, the lam chops however was not cooked as well it should have been. a very quiet atmosphere, and a bit dark.
but otherwise a good place to visit if yo uhavent been there before.
a good selection of wines and beer,

so i trusted the zomato reviews and took my wife to dinner at the alpine restaurant. the service was ok and that was the highlight of the evening, but the food was disappointing from the starters to the main course. also the fact that the restaurant only had one toilet outside of the restaurant and cleanliness at the toilet was not great doesn't make it great spot for a couples evening. it is an ok restaurant for a quick meal and maybe to watch a game, but not a fantastic restaurant worth a 4 or above rating.

i really love carpaccio and this is one of the best i have had; ultra thin and served with cranberry compote. service is great, happy situation all 'round.

not really sure how they managed such a high rating, had the ribs and it doesn't come close to the diner in krugersdorp , it was super salty and the only good part of the meal were their sides.
