Belle Époque

Belle Époque brings a Paris-inspired café style to South Bank, Brisbane, within Emporium Hotel South Bank. The venue focuses on handcrafted pastries, refined brunches and high tea, presenting everyday dining with an emphasis on detail and presentation. It is open for breakfast and lunch during the day, with high tea available seven days a week.

The signature offering is high tea, served from 10:30am to 1pm with reservations required at least 24 hours ahead. The experience is framed as a chance to indulge and share, making it a natural choice for catch-ups, celebrations and relaxed occasions with friends or family. Belle Époque also offers celebration cakes to order, giving guests an option for marking a special event with a custom-ordered dessert.

During the day, the space accommodates breakfast, lunch and high tea. In the evening, it can be arranged for private events, creating a more intimate setting for gatherings and functions. The venue’s Parisian influence and café character give it a distinct identity within the hotel’s broader collection of dining spaces, while the focus remains on pastries, brunch and traditional high tea rather than a large all-day restaurant menu.

Belle Époque suits visitors looking for a polished café experience in South Bank, whether that means a morning meal, an afternoon high tea or a private celebration. It may appeal to solo guests wanting a quieter hotel dining setting, as well as couples and small groups planning a special occasion. The website identifies the venue as wheelchair accessible. Weekday service runs from 6am to 3pm, with weekend service from 6:30am to 3pm; high tea is available daily from 10:30am to 1pm, subject to availability.
