Belle Epoque

Mixed comments. Fancy and relaxing place. Excellent table service. It is definitely a great spot for high tea and coffee. There celebration cakes look amazing as well. But....their lunch menu is just okay. We ordered duck leg and stew cauliflower, but hey are bland(not bad but bland). Of course, I'm not an expertise in French cuisine so maybe I misinterpreted the food. Anyway, still a great place worth visiting.

Worst possible service and experience. Went inside and waited for about 15 min to be served. The place was almost empty - waiters just didn’t pay attention to customers. Gave up and had to go and find a waitress (who was very unfriendly). I wanted to simply sit and enjoy a coffee with chocolates but their order system was super complicated. Apparently, they didn’t have a menu so I had to look at all the options at the entrance, then go to the table and order from there. I had a question about the chocolate fillings so they asked me to go back to the entrance, check which one I wanted (even though they don’t have names…), return to the table and confirm my order. I asked for the chocolates fillings at the counter but the waiters couldn’t tell. I was told they’re hand crafted so waiters don’t know, only the chef. To my surprise, the waitress and her colleague were talking and laughing at my question so I had to explain it was due to allergies. Their answer was that I could order and try. I asked for a croissant (considering this is a French patisserie) but the waiter said they ran out. Two minutes later, I see a customer sitting next to me getting served a croissant… To end my experience… I walked to the cashier where the manager verbally confirmed my order. I mentioned the fee was incorrect (they’re charging double). They said “oh sorry” and still charged me double. I had to explain again that the bill was incorrect and tell them each item price. Very disappointed. Will never go back. Not recommended.

Both times we have visited. Our meals were cold. Even my cappuccino,which I asked for extra hot was lukewarm. It was not busy, but we waited 1/2 an hour for our meals ,then as I said, was cold. The waitress apologized for everything. The ambiance is gorgoues inside. But not sure if we will visit again.

The best high tea experience I have ever had. More food than you could possibly expect with a 3 tier stand plus a platter of scones. Every mouthful a flavour sensation as only the French can do with all items home made including the best raspberry jam I have tasted. Definitely choose the accompanying French Champagne. An experience to remember.
