Fontaine Caffe & Creperie

I've been going here for several years now, and the food never disappoints. This locally-owned restaurant serves healthy, delicious and carefully prepared food -- from delicious gluten-free crêpes to fresh fish. For those looking to binge eat and complain about the portion size, this is not the place to go. For those interested in a healthy, fresh, and delicious French meal however, this place is highly-recommended. It is without doubt one of the best restaurants in Old Town Alexandria.

Every time I visit family in Alexandria, I make sure we go to Fontaine. I always order the steak frites--and every time, I think it couldnt be better. This time, we were there during brunch hours on a Sunday and my favorite pick was not available--and I'm so glad it wasn't because I had to branch out and try a crepe (which are gluten free!!!). I had the Virginia crepe which consisted of ham, apples, and a white cheese -- I added a scrambled egg too, and wow! What a meal. The combination of flavors, the delicate crepe, the addition of the egg all made this an amazing dish that I would get next time. I love that it comes with a simple salad too to get some veg in there. I had an aperol spritz as well and it just made the whole brunch experience wonderful. The restaurant is so charming and all of the staff are so friendly. It is a must try when you're in Alexandria, and for those of you with gluten allergies, you will find safe options!

This place is amazing and so tasty. With easy GF, dairy-free, and vegan options!
