We’re from Los Angeles and had been dreaming about the cheese fondue here for 3 years and were soooooooo happy our kids also finally experienced the deliciousness post pandemic. Our meal was perfect and the kids (and we) were in heaven. Thank you!!!

A cozy little bistro with classic French food and a wonderful atmosphere. The wine selection is top notch. I had the quiche, we shared steak tartare, and he had a salad. We are going back tomorrow and I’m ordering the fondue.

The service was a little awkward at times. There was definitely way too much fondue - we had a small group of 4 and the serving could have easily served 12 or more. Definitely disappointing to waste all of that when you pay so much per person.

Had a reservation for two people in advance and the manager did not give me the table I wanted . I asked for a normal two ppl sitting table, he said it was not possible, we ate at the entrance on a small round table, and the normal table for two that I asked to sit was empty from beginning to end !!! The manager was sarcastic , laughing , did not receive us , as clients, well. Food was GREAT !!!!! Would go back for sure for the food and ambiance.

Booked ahead for our anniversary. Cute place under ground and cozy. We were stuck in a corner at a small high top table which would be fine. But with the staff constantly banging into the back of my chair going to the bar. Our server was more busy just having a conversation with the table next to us and then talking over me thinking he knew all the answers to my questions without me even getting to ask them. Don’t come to Aspen often just a special occasion and wanted to try some French food. Food was good, but I won’t be back to that location.

Main courses of Short Ribs and Lamb Cannelloni were excellent, very tasty. Fondue was just average w the cheese mix okay; did have gluten free bread for my wife which was good. For the price I wouldn’t order it ever again. French Onion soup was not big serving and was warm not hot. Drinks were not impressive. Ambiance was nice tho restaurant where we were sitting was very cold w constant door being opened. Service was mixed at best, functional but not warm, and took us more than 20 minutes to get a server (shift change left us in limbo); little to no acknowledgment of the inconvenience.

I love the ambiance of Creperie Du Village! It’s a beautiful, small quaint restaurant in the heart of Aspen. It has a very romantic feel, perfect for a date night! The one thing that bothers me is their prices are very high even for Aspen standards. $135 for cheese fondue with bread & no accompaniments is very high (for three people). I know I’ll be back but I keep that in mind when making a reservation.
