    Lovely French bistro in Media with a nice selection of items for lunch, from breakfasty things to more lunchy things. We really enjoyed the Breton style crepes made traditionally with buckwheat. The prices were reasonable and the ambiance was charming.

    This was our family’s first time visiting this restaurant. We went to celebrate a special occasion. The menu and food is amazing! Unfortunately, our server never checked in with us after our food arrived. He was very pleasant and friendly in taking our order. We wanted to order second drinks and dessert but he never checked back. It’s a very small place so hard to understand. The food was fantastic.

    I’ve been to Belle Epoque for breakfast and it was delicious. Dinner was ok. We got the crepe with chicken and cheese and it was alright. The salads had too much dressing on them though the salmon was cooked perfectly. The service was my least favorite part. Everyone we encountered was slightly rude, and made it feel like we were a bother just being there. This is very different than our breakfast experience when we spoke with the owner and she taught my daughter some French words. We didn’t really feel very welcomed to be honest and we got there at 5pm with only like one other family so I know it wasn’t because they were super busy at the time. Maybe it was just that night! I’d recommend going for breakfast though!
