We visited La Belle Epoque for Media Dining Week. The food was good, though the cost was generally the same as eating from the regular menu. Looking forward to our next meal at LaBelle.

This is our favorite restaurant in Media, PA. The food is always delicious. The service is great. And the atmosphere is perfect. Unbeknownst to us, we arrived on Friday night during Restaurant week. The 3-course meal was fabulous and priced well. We had escargot, braised short ribs and dessert. The wine selection is always great too. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.

Lovely meal! I can always count on the quality and variety of the menu. It ended up being a busy Friday lunch rush with not enough servers on. Made service a bit slow, but always polite and professional.

La Belle Epoch is one of our favorite restaurants. We drive 30 mins to eat the amazing food. It is perfect for a special event or a casual dinner. We have never had a bad meal, and their Crème Brûlée is the best in the area! 5 stars! Highly recommend!

La Belle Epoque is our go to spot for when we need a good night out for dinner. The food was excellent. Appetizers: red pepper bisque, and Diver scallops elegantly prepared. Entrees: the Halibut special, and the linguine al dente with garlic vegetables. Service was excellent and attentive. Atmosphere had a nice buzz to it without being too loud. They always seem to get it right when we dine there.

For the first ever time I was disappointed. Had the Halibut special and for the price of the meal the size of the Halibut was very disappointing. Two of the Oyster Mushrooms when put together were bigger than the price of Halibut I was served. It was delicious but not worth the price

The cassoulet was perfect. I, my wife, and her friend all ordered it and all three of us were glad so we wouldn't have to steal some from each other's bowls. We also tried the lemon and raspberry sorbets for dessert which, along with the coffee, were the perfect ending to the meal.

One of my favorites. I'm sure they have off nights, but in my experience of multiple visits this place never disappoints. My recent visit I had the escargot (as I often do) which was delicious and then tried the duck breast. It was perfectly cooked and had great accompaniments. The server was attentive but not overly so. Would recommend for casual and special occasions.

La Belle Epoque usually never disappoints. We went here for brunch for the first time. My husband had French toast, which was fabulous. I had eggs Benedict, which were so salty, I could hardly eat them. First time for being disappointed in a dish. Will be back, though.

The food is excellent. The duck breast and rack of lamb we had were perfectly done with excellent sauce and attention to detail. Portions were just right so that we could enjoy the Beef Carpaccio appetizer as well as the dark chocolate mousse desert without feeling stuffed. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back!!

La Belle won Main Line Magazine's best French Restaurant in 2022, and after eating here you can see it is well deserved. Nearly perfectly executed classic French dishes, priced very fairly, with a noticeably European ambiance and pace (and a prime date spot to boot). Although the wine list is not extremely deep or extensive, it offers solid wines at great prices, with wonderful representations of several French wine appellations. I do not believe there is a subpar bottle in the lot. Overall, La Belle Epoque impresses in every category and is a must try in a region sorely lacking in French cuisine, good or otherwise.

One of our favorite brunch restaurants! Food and ambience are always excellent. We had the classic eggs Benedict, wild mushroom omelette and the chicken panini. There was nothing left on the plates and we had a wonderful High-top table by the open front window! Beautiful on a sunny fall Sunday. Looking forward to my next visit
