Absolutely fantastic experience - great food, excellent service and a wonderful, lush, old-style setting with a modern twist. The high-ceilings, dark woods, large staircase and modern light fixtures enhance the overall feel of the place which harks back to a colonial past. The food is the central player in a symphony of delights. The wine list is solid, without being overwhelming and the staff are knowledgeable about what goes well, with what dish. There's reasonable parking available although a taxi or Uber would be recommended, as are elastic-sided pants so you can really overindulge. Our hats off to Angie and the team who gave us such a good night.

What a delightful find! Fairy lights adorn a 100 year old terrace house that welcome you and set the tone for a beautiful dinner. Steve and I enjoyed a set menu, which was so generous, we couldn't fit in the dessert... More reason to come back again, not that we need much prompting! Delightful ambiance, hospitality, cuisine and wine.

Booked for Valentine’s Day. Due to sudden lock down we opted to receive the menu at home. It was incredibly generous of the restaurant to offer a bottle of wine for those of us who opted for preparing the food at home. The restaurant’s “hope” and hospitality is impeccable and we felt well cared for despite being able to dine in this Valentine’s Day. The restaurant catered wonderfully for gluten free and provided all the meal options ready to easily cook. The service was delightful and the staff easy to chat to and genuinely very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious (we did our best to prepare it). Our favourite was the special white chocolate dessert. A lovely selection of local foods, fresh textures, salty, sweet and creamy. We will definitely be back in person!

Excellent food and staff. Food was innovative, delicious and plentiful. From our cursory glance Epocha doesn't seem to be disabled-friendly, but it would be well worth checking if they have another entrance. The wine list was varied and extensive. All in all, well recommended.

My husband and I went to Epocha for our wedding anniversary over the weekend and we are so glad that we did. Amazing food, very friendly service, and high quality wine list. Beautifully furnished - we felt instantly relaxed and at ease walking into the gorgeous venue. We had a fabulous night and we will definitely be back. Would highly recommend for a special night out.

Had a wonderful evening. A perfect night to sit on the balcony and enjoy the food. We haven't been here for a few years and I have to say Epocha has upped it's game - foodwise, I cannot fault what I ate. The service was also brilliant. Attentive without being in your face. The food was all perfectly spaced out with plenty of time to enjoy. My dessert - the cheesecake- was outstanding. You must go & try for yourself.

I have heard great things about Epocha and can now personally confirm that the positive reviews are all valid. There was a set menu of either 3 or 4 courses (optional 'middle course') and we opted for four and asked the staff to pair matching wines for each course. All of the food was divine. Personal favourites for me were the tuna starter, goats cheese gnocchi mid course, duck main and cheesecake dessert. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the tuna and steak tartare starters. The wine was explained prior to pouring and matched each dish delightfully. Great experience overall with a lovely atmosphere and knowledgeable, professional yet friendly staff.
