It is a few years since we last visited La Belle Epoque which is a hidden and tranquil oasis steps away from a busy part of the world. La Belle Époque serves a delectable fusion of British and French cuisine, offering classic flavours using the finest and freshest seasonal produce. Sit back and savour an exceptional dining experience, impeccable service, and modern architecture that embodies Sofitel. Unwind and indulge in the moment. We are really looking forward to coming back and having a great evening with friends.

As you can see from the menu you have a choice and the opportunity to make your selection clear at time of booking. If you do not, we will assume the first selection for every course. I would like to thank Kaizer Attar Director of Food & Beverage for his help in putting our event together. There is an opportunity to stay over at the Sofitel. Attractive room rates are available upon request.

This is a Thursday lunch and you may wish to walk the spectacular grounds before or after so feel free to do so. The bar will be open after for those wishing to stay on in this great location.
