Nestled in the heart of downtown Wilmington Vermont, Alpenglow Alpine Bistro exudes a feeling of warmth, friendliness, and a sense of belonging which guests experience in our cozy and sumptuous mountain bistro.
Our menu feels like a slice of Switzerland in the Green Mountains with French Patisserie Fruit Tart, Homemade Bavarian Pretzel Board, Chilled Summer Soup, & Savory Crêpes as well as Steak Tartare, and a delectable drink including cafe favorites, international single malt whiskey, cognac and ports. For dessert: strudel, anyone?

Had such a nice dinner at Alpenglow last night. Started with the charred scallops, then the filet mignon—which was cooked perfectly—and finished with crème brûlée. The place feels cozy and relaxed, and Susan, the owner, welcomed us so warmly that it really felt like home. The chef clearly knows what they’re doing, and the bartender was excellent and very attentive. Just an all-around lovely evening. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back.

Alpine Elegance & Exquisite Flavors
From the cozy, upscale atmosphere with fur-lined chairs to the masterfully executed dishes, this was a standout meal. We paired our evening with a crisp 2023 Schäfer-Fröhlich Blanc de Noir and a bold 2021 G.D. Vajra Albe Barolo.
Small Plates
Truffled Asparagus: Perfectly tender and elevated with rich truffle manchego.
Charred Scallops: Seared beautifully and served with a bright beurre blanc and roasted tomatoes.
Main Courses
Pan-Seared Duck: A highlight of the night. The duck breast was succulent, complemented by a unique vanilla sweet potato purée and a rich sherry demi-glace.
Filet Mignon: An 8oz cut that was incredibly tender, served over creamy ricotta whipped potatoes and crisp haricot verts.
Dessert
Crème Brûlée: Features a perfectly torched sugar crust and a generous topping of whipped cream.
Crepe: A light and sweet finish, drizzled with chocolate and served with more fresh cream.

I highly recommend Alpenglow! We were visiting from CA, and when we arrived Susan, the owner, graciously welcomed us. The restaurant was full, so we sat at the bar, and enjoyed watching our bartender Raquel prepare our gin cocktails with flair while also sharing recommendations for local sites to see during our first time visit to the area. I ordered the trout which was delicious and melted in your mouth. My friend ordered the wienerschnitzel and loved it. The fig/ prosciutto salad was gorgeous and delicious as well. Wish we didn’t live so far away!

This place is on point. We had a meal in zermatt this past February and my wife and I both agreed that alpenglow exceeded it. Susan, the owner, worked the front of the restaurant to perfection. I’d recommend sitting in the lounge. It’s high top service – the traditional dining room appeared to be tight quarters. Super Jeff, the bartender/server in the lounge, crushed it from the get. Strongly recommend. Forgot to take a photo of the chicken, pork belly, and apple strudel … but everything was fantastic.

I visited this wonderful restaurant over the weekend in the heart of Wilmington, Vermont, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. Known for its fondue, the space itself is beautifully decorated and has a warm and inviting ambience coupled with an, upscale snow-village vibe that feels both cozy and refined.
Our server, Raquel, was fantastic and truly helped make the night special with her attentiveness and care. The restaurant is clearly run with professionalism and genuine love, and that feeling comes from the top down. The owner, Susan, checked in on us throughout the evening, and you could see how much joy it brought her to watch guests enjoy an experience she has clearly poured so much heart and effort into. It was a memorable night of fine dining, and we felt genuinely cared for the entire time. It’s a must stop if you are in town!

5/5 Stars, 10/10 experience and a WONDERFUL night. My group and I had 15 of us and we booked our reservation ~6 days prior. We spoke with the owner, Susan, and she was AMAZING! She got us our own private room, her daughter was our server and she was the best. As a group we split into 4 fondue bowls, and got many bottles of wine (amazing selection) If you are looking to do a group dinner I HIGHLY recommend!!!!

The atmosphere was lovely and the food was all top notch, specifically the classic German schnitzel and bratwurst. Rachel made excellent cocktails and the beer selection was great as well. Hostesses were very helpful as well and squeezed us in without a reservation. Top marks in everything!
