alpine restaurant

good food! we waited a while, but it was worth it! my husband had the fillet, i had the pork schnitzel - lovely! owners and their staff are friendly and hands onn. keep it up. ( i would love a candle on the table though). :)

we stumble upon this gem! very good burgers! next time we will be coming for the 25day dried mature steaks! good wine selection! friendly staff and all meat comes out of the butchery next door!

best steak in town! the 300g fillet is my absolute favorite. friendly and helpful waiters. i take all my family and friends visiting for the first time there - they never disappoint!

alpine is by far my favorite restaurant in gauteng in terms of big eating and meat, you need to try the panko prawns, they are absolutely amazing and you will find yourself wanting more and more. the steaks are melt in your mouth good and you should also try the chips with feta also amazing. i ha e been to alpine 6 tines thus year alone and i have brought friends and family with me, we all agree it is one of the best eating restaurants we have been to. big thumbs up to the bulgarians and their butchery for the fantastic meat.

they do a very very good eisbein! interesting side dishes too. there are quite a few bulgarian dishes on the menu too. i'll be back to try something else!

we have now been to alpine twice in the last month.
both times we have enjoyed ourselves and left feeling satisfied . i have said before that good old hospitality is important to me.
alpine does not have the best setting or decor , has clientele with noisy children but no child facility .
but at alpine you feel hosted, that your patronage is important . so you are offered tasters, a look around the butchery and a sense of humility, with their product and offering .the staff engage with you.
patrons are regular, cosmopolitan and interactive.
my dad being from eritrea, we enjoy the abyssinian addition to the menu.
the prices are very reasonable, portions substantial and the quality of meat we had very good!
i also enjoyed the variety of side dishes as well... bone marrow, broccoli with gorgonzola etc

this is definitely my husband's favourite spot close to home. the meat dishes never disappoint and there are various interesting sides to choose from notably a blue cheese and broccoli bake and chips with grated feta. portions are very generous- so go hungry. the staff are very friendly and efficient. wine's are extensive and always served at the perfect temperature.
another extra is really well priced breakfasts and delicious coffee! r30 a breakfast :)

alpine is definitely a hidden gem! although hesitant at first, i thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience and will certainly be back!  the selection of wines is fantastic. the owner definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to choosing wine for his restaurant.  we had a fantastic ken forrester red blend (wines are also reasonably priced).  great wines by the glass as well.

something that isn't mentioned in any of the other reviews is that alpine has their normal menu, but they also have an abyssinian menu (ethiopian food) which is fantastic! theres an ethiopian lady who specially prepares these dishes. i had the lamb with injera which was perfectly prepared, tender and the flavours were perfect! we also had the prawns for a starter and the chocolate fondant for dessert.  there was nothing that i didn't enjoy.  portion sizes are very big! you might be able to get away with sharing dishes between a group of people (especially if ordering from the abyssinian menu).

the owner, manager and waiters are also super welcoming and go out of their way to ensure you have a memorable dining experience.   they are in the process of updating their menu (which i do think needs to be a bit more organised) and i personally think they could do with changing the decor (as its very simple).  food, wine and service are phenomenal.  highly recommended

went with a large group, just over 20 people for a work lunch. the restauant wasn't busy and were there for hours.the food was just average. we really enjoyed the focaccia. they serve really good quality olive oil. i can also recommend the chicken liver starter. the chorizo starter is just sliced up sausage that is fried and served with bread. it was just oily and tasteless.  the ribs were horrible. tasted like they'd been boiled and then basted in tomato sauce. they were fatty and didn't even have a slight char-grill. we were very disappointed as we had heard such great things about this place. the full baby chicken was good and they have an excellent international wine list. i didn't really enjoy the creme brulee either.they are very well priced.

this jewel restaurant is hidden on braam fischer road. excellent service and wine selection. geneous portions with a variaty home made original veggie side dishes.steaks are divine. they are served with complimentary bone marrow.see picture.

unfortunately this place doens't really cater for vegetarians. there is quite a limited variety of meals when it comes to lunch or dinner. it would be nice to see such an improvement on their menu to cater for us as i was disappointed with this. hopefully they will improve this variety on their menu. the pizza that i had was below average and a bit soggy. meat eaters in our group of friends enjoyed their meal here including the marrow bone that was served with their their selected cut of meat.

i've never had bulgarian steak before and i must say i thoroughly enjoyed it. the main meals come in healthy (man-sized) portions all meats are well prepared and and come with demi-glacé and roasted bone marrow(not for those who suffer from high cholesterol) alpine also has a nice selection of wines to choose from. the restaurant itself is really relaxed and staff is friendly, although the food took a little long. all round i had a great experience.

this was my first visit.
this restaurant must be wonderful in summer with it's outside sitting area. in winter because it's too cold to sit outside one (perhaps) has to sit inside which is a bit austere. and i should think it could be very noisy when full -but a lot of people like that these days.
the manager was there who could not have been more helpful. he is an asset to that restaurant.
my friend had a fillet and i had the rib eye. both excellent and tender.
for pudding: he had the cheese cake which he said was very good. i had the chocolate fondant..10/10. the best i have ever had. the coffee was also excellent.
the wine list is very good and the wine is kept in a temperature controlled room.
rated on the food we had, the restaurant must be 4.5 but i found the waiters a bit sloppy.
all that said i'm going back at some stage to try their crispy eisbein and another helping of the chocolate fondant!
ps i went back today to try the crispy eisbein.
it was outstanding. maybe this restaurant is worth a 4.5

a real gem !!!
excellent fillet , the perfect carbonara , burger was world class. hand cut chips !!!decadent chocolate fondant with home made choc sauce. owner operated. amazing wine list. service was top class. biggie is an excellent waiter !!!!
will defiantly be back

nothing can be said about alpine that you can't figure out for yourself after your first bite. the quality is superior and never fails to be delicious. the owner treats you like family and the staff all great. by far one of my favourite places for a meal no matter what the time of day.

if only i could take a bath in their prawns! it is so delicious. one thing you need to know is that the portions are huge, adding some salad/chips to the starter of prawns is basically a main meal. but luckily for them i was born with a rare case of "stuff my face til my belly button pops put" syndrome :)

the steaks are great, and you can choose any 2 sides off of their menu ranging from hand cut chips to caramelized beetroot. trust me, 2 sides are quite a lot and a can rarely finish my entire plate, ever. and this girl can eat. all steaks are accompanied by two large marrow bones for those who love the marrow melting into their meat. not my favourite, so i just put them aside.

if i could personally take everyone to alpine i would, but at the same time, i want to keep them all to myself :)
