French Alpine Bistro - Crêperie du Village

Since 2011, Austrian-born owner Karin Derly has curated French Alpine Bistro - Crêperie du Village into Aspen’s #1 wine destination, a title underscored by the 2025 Star Wine List award for "Best Medium-Sized Wine List" globally and Wine Spectator’s "Best of Award of Excellence." The Restaurant Row spot balances a cozy, candle-lit interior adorned with family heirlooms and soft sheepskins against a heated patio that overlooks the surrounding mountains. Guests frequent the bistro for authentic French classics, including rich onion soup, escargot, cheese fondue, and creative crêpes like the crème brûlée crêpe. The menu also features summer salads and espresso martinis, served in a setting described as gemütlich, blending warmth with the bustle of Aspen’s dining district.
