We had an amazing, romantic dinner at Alpenrose. They gave us a beautiful corner table in the glassed in front patio. We had lunch in the same patio while visiting the farmer’s market last summer (open air in summer). The fondue appetizer reminded me of my childhood. The dishes were beautifully presented. The steamed salmon, noodles and spinach was delicious and enough for two. The only negative was that the food came out too quickly and brought out the salad we split along with the entree. Our table was too small. After dinner we took a walk and saw the gondolas that you can dine in behind the restaurant. They looked adorable and romantic- ask for one when making your reservation!
From the moment you walk in, Alpenrose feels like a cozy Alpine hideaway right in Vail. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is friendly and attentive, and every dish feels like comfort food done right. But let’s talk about that strudel — flaky, perfectly spiced, and served warm with traditional flair. It’s one of those desserts that makes you smile with every bite. Whether you’re finishing off a hearty meal or grabbing a sweet treat after skiing, it’s unforgettable. A must-try for anyone visiting!
Alpenrose Vail has a really cool, cozy alpine vibe that immediately sets the tone for a great meal. The waitstaff is awesome and welcoming, the drinks are well done, and the food is incredibly filling in the best way. If you’re in the mood for a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meal that still feels authentic to traditional German cuisine, this is absolutely the place to go.
This place is amazing! We loved every moment! We did the gondola experience and thought it was such a great time. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so cool- one of the coolest restaurants I’ve been too! I was obsessed. Hannes, our server was also so wonderful and friendly. Very attentive and making sure we were happy. The food was delicious. We did the Gruyère cheese fondue and it came with so much food! We definitely left full of very tasty food! We loved the pretzel and cheese spread too that it came with! We will definitely be back.
Great dinner out in the front patio. Our group had the pork shank, schnitzel, Alpin lasagna and the bratwurst. Everyone loved their choices!
Loved this place so much that after having lunch here, we booked it for the same day for dinner. Alpenrose has such a warm vibe - cozy, rustic, and full of charm. The atmosphere is perfect after a day in the mountains: candlelit, inviting, and instantly relaxing. The food is true comfort cuisine, rich and flavorful without being heavy. Everything we tried tasted homemade and authentic. Great prices too, given it’s in the heart of Vail Village. Service was genuinely friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. A great spot in Vail for a cozy evening and delicious Alpine dishes. Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing experience. The food was incredibly delicious, and the staff was very polite, attentive, and welcoming. Honestly, this was the best food I’ve had in the United States. I personally ordered the Coq au Vin, apple strudel, and sauerkraut — everything was perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and truly memorable. You can really feel the quality and care in every dish. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. I will definitely be coming back.
Food was yummy and cozy. Pretzel was very soft and one of the best I’ve had! We also tried the curry, which was good but needs a bit more depth of flavor. Even for an off season day, the place was packed.
Happened upon this place after the Vail Craft Beer Fest. The entire staff looked great in traditional German/Austrian attire. The service was so friendly and the I door seating and patio were both beautiful. The schnitzel and pork shank were so good and I highly recommend!! If you are in Vail Village do not pass up Alpenrose great food great for families and a dessert display that was amazing.
