Hannah's Bar at Epocha - Melbourne

We ate here today after having read all the good reviews and were not disappointed. The food, service and drinks were all excellent. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon, we will definitely return.

Fabulous place to dine. Beautiful warm and inviting setting. Impeccable service with attention to detail- remembered and pre prepared our dietary requirements. Attentive staff. Extremely professional. Exceptional seasonal food. A real gem. 100% recommend highly

We celebrated our anniversary here recently. Angie always gives such a warm welcome, as though she is inviting you into her own home, which I guess it is in a way, as she and Guy have clearly invested so much of themselves in making Epocha such a special dining experience. It is an atmospheric restaurant, rustic but cosy, with a host of delightful decor features lighting which highlights the Victorian high ceilings, chairs which just give a hint of Angie’s homeland Greece and little touches like the hooks discretely placed in the wainscotting so you can hang your things right by your table if you wish. AND you can enjoy conversation while you savour the cuisine no loud music with which to compete. Hallelujah! Despite the very significant challenges of multiple lockdowns in Victoria, the food at Epocha has remained consistently of the highest quality, with delicious variety. We love the way a little complimentary culinary treat arrives to have with our pre dinner drink. The degustation menu is scrumptious and always different scallops done in a secret way and served in elegant shells (complete with a “ Happy anniversary “ message! , a surprise extra entree of gnocchi made with four cheeses, melt in the mouth beef/ pork for mains with complex little side veggies and wicked duck fat potatoes. Another surprise before dessert, with an interesting glass of Skinos as palate cleanser, served in beautiful tiny crystal stemmed glasses. We could barely fit in the Crepes Suzette with vanilla bean icecream. Yum! All throughout this wonderful dining experience, Angie listens carefully to what style of wine you would like and, from her vast experience, always manages to broaden our horizons with a new style and sometimes it comes from very close to home, like Geelong. It is expensive, but you will not be disappointed. Give yourself a treat and dine at Epocha. No snobbery, just hospitality at its best.

It was the first time we’ve been out at a restaurant for (Orthodox)Easter lunch. What an incredible experience it was! The venue is gorgeous. The menu was a marvelous and generous range of traditional Elyros style entrées, main and dessert. The professional service was impeccable they were all happy to engage in a warm way, explaining, advising on Greek drinks and even sharing a story or two. We felt so nurtured! The food was beyond delicious, prepared with so much care for ingredients. I was gobsmacked at the inter weaving of ingredients. This was topped off with a long lingering walk in the Exhibition Gardens opposite. This culinary experience exceeded all expectations!

It was great to be reminded what true professional hospitality was today at lunch, service was impeccable. Knowledge of obscure European wine was fantastic, matched to our taste near on perfect. We really enjoyed the modern take on classic dishes and found the set menu great value. Lovely experience Thank you
