Reviews
"Even though the menu wasn't extensive (especially for the mains), however, the service was amazing! We had a wonderful time celebrating my 2 year olds birthday where they make her feel extra special. They provided candles on the complimentary ice creams & took a million photos for us without hesitation. They even did everything they could to make my daughter smile. I don't think the celebration would be as good at another location. Thank you Epocha!"
"Thanks so much Angie and team for another great dining experience! The duck was excellent as always! Juicy & crispy at the same time. Epocha has always been a comfort. It's like being invited to a dinner party. Cozy and elegant atmosphere. Thanks for accommodating us last night. Apologies we were in a bit of a tight schedule but we will be back for sure!"
"This little hidden gem is an ideal place to host a small reception for elopements and micro weddings in Melbourne. It is a short walk from the Treasury Building in Spring St so it is a great combination with the Carlton Gardens in between (across the road actually) for your photo session. The ceremony space is nice and intimate for 20-30 people with a balcony to overlook the gardens and the north-west end of the city. The food is very is very fancy and the staff attentive. Note, not many street parks available so it is recommended to park at the Museum."
"The venue is so pretty and overlooks the park, the service/staff were lovely and we had a laugh with them. The wine was great and the Sunday Roast was so good - especially the bread and duck fat potatoes!! I’ll definitely go back for it. Only complaint is the website mentions the Sunday roast comes with pasta but it doesn’t - might want to update it :)"
