This French Patisserie is everything and more that you would want from a local cafe with relaxed family-friendly service, a superb range of quality eats, good prices and ample seating. Proprietor Eric imports most of his ingredients from France to achieve authentic results. He serves up the best pastries you will find in London - or Paris for that matter - as well as a range of authentic French loaves and artisan cakes to die for - a compulsory stop off on birthdays. Like so many London cafes Belle Epoque gets busy on weekends with queues for both take aways and tables, though in the summer the recently opened outdoor courtyard virtually doubles the seating.
