| Fox's Bar Review with Richard Fox | La Belle Epoque | ADDRESS: AV. RADU BELLER NR. 6, DOROBANTI TEL: 0762472468
La Belle Epoque is a very well established and authentic style Belgian beer cafe in Dorabanti, now in its 10th year. If you ask yourself what are the Belgians are famous for........... after a short pause, you would have to say beer, chips, chocolate and Jean-Claude Van Damme. La Belle Epoque certainly does the beer and chips very well offering in the beer selection 10 different types and flavours. The draught include, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden and Leffe, with Chimay and Duvel in bottles. | The food menu offers good quality simple fair, very good steak frite and a definite favourite of mine is the Flemish beef stew; it is very tasty cooked in beer (of course) and black currants which give it a slight sweetness. The surroundings are comfortable with solid dark wood furnishings and a mixture of ecclectic art on the walls, from black and white photos to pictures of Belgian beer labels. Every time I have visited I have always had very good service, which is a real plus and will keep me coming back for more. The opening hours are from 10am until Midnight 7 days a week, a very good spot for lunch and especially now that the weather is warming up you can take advantage of the tables they have on the street out front. | | Deutsche Schule Bukarest presents this issue's Hint!
