Belle Epoque Patisserie

What's the hype? My soggy lukewarm croissant with the napkin stuck to the bottom ... $5, really? Extra salmon for the breakfast which never made an appearance on the plate? You can open your drink because my nails are too long?? Will we return ... No. This is one of those establishments which rely on the fact that are located in a desirable affluent location where some go to be seen but actually serves food best suited to a mall food court. My water was cold.

A lot of the menu items are bought in but the place has a great feel and the food is good. Cute tables and chairs give Belle Époque the feel of a French cafe. Sip a latte and nibble on a vanilla slice as a decadent afternoon tea. They do breakfast as well. Located in the Emporium.

I'm surprised to find reviews for this place from 2012 as I haven't noticed it until recently The exterior took me back to an European laneway cafe.

Belle Epoque Patisserie transports me from the funky Emporium in the Valley, directly back to the sweet streets of Paris.

I introduced my son to the wonders of the eclair at Belle Époque, he laughed when I told him we were eating 'shoe' pastry! Love the recycled mirror wall and
