Epoque Belgian Beer Cafe - Cammeray

Epoque Belgian Beer Cafe is a place of glowing mahogany-stained solid oak, engraved bar stools, bevelled mirrors, vintage beer posters and etched glass. Every detail of Epoque's interior reveals an aspect of Belgian life.

The 1920s bar, restored to it's original glory, is topped with marble and zinc. From there specially-trained bartenders pull the famous beers of Belgium - including Hoegaarden, Leffe and Stella Artois - with the customary two fingers of foam at the top.

Epoque's menu is as authentic as the decor, featuring traditional seafood-based cuisine including mussels in white wine with fries, cheese croquettes, or a typical specialty, the Waterzooi a la Ghentoise, a hearty chicken stew. Meat dishes include such classics as "Carbonnades Flamandes" and steak et frites.

Desserts feature the fine Belgian Belcolade chocolate in the traditional Dame Blanche of vanilla ice cream, rich imported chocolate sauce and a cookie on top, or in a luscious chocolate mousse.
