alpine restaurant

when i ask people "do you know alpine restaurant", the response is either "that place is amazing!", or "which place?" alpine is less than one kilometer from where i live, yet somehow it took me nearly three years to visit. now i wish i could make up for lost time. the place is easily accessible. right on bram fisher, just before you get to linden. its a small center, with lots of parking available. they have a very nice deck area, but due to inclement weather we could not sit there. also, due to said weather, all the doors and windows were tightly closed, causing the interior to be a bit noisy and stuffy. i'm sure that won't be a problem under normal circumstances.the menu is extensive. from pizza and pasta to einstein and steak. i had pork chops and my companion had steak, both of which were delicious. it seems that they also have a butchery and deli on the same premises, which may account for the excellent quality of the meat. what really impresses is the side orders. most dishes allows you to pick any two. it literally took me longer to select my two side dishes than to choose the meat! i settled on broccoli and blue cheese bake (that is one dish, served in a ramekin), and mashed potatoes. the décor and ambiance did not really blow my hair back. in fact, two days later i find myself hard pressed to remember what the interior looked like. that doesn't matter, it's not the kind of place you go to so that you can look at the walls.servicewas good, though not amazing. pricing is average - not cheap, not expensive.all in all, this is the kind of neighborhood restaurant that is well worth the drive if you live far away. what a gem.

all the reviews on zomato are spot on with this place! i had the lamb shank and it was on of the best i have had in jhb, and cheap compared to other places. my partner had initially ordered the sirloin however it was not matured properly and was not a great piece of meat, the manager was exceptional in apologizing and replaced it with a perfectly done fillet.the excellentservicefrom the manager overshadowed the waiter. will be going back very soon!

we've been going to alpine since it opened. we have always had wonderful food and great service. the main events are their meat and prawns. absolutely sensational. steaks are served with marrow bones - unctuous and moreish and adds so much to great cuts of steak.serviceis attentive and friendly. the ambience is simple and relaxed. this is quite honestly one of the best bistros for an easy dinner or for a celebration with a bigger group. always a winner.

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

popped in for a last minute dinner out and we were very pleasantly surprised at the superb food we received at extremely reasonable prices. theservicewas 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, greatserviceand 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.servicewas fine; food was great! will definitely be going again...

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.servicecan 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 theservicefriendly. i'd definitely recommend a visit if you haven't discovered this local been yet.

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. theservicewas great as well. very impressed overall.

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 theservicewas 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!

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

prepare to have the bestservicein jhb. seriously, eat outs top 10 jhb restaurants cannot compete with thisserviceand 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, theservicemade 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. 

theserviceis 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.theserviceis always fantastic.
