Beaujolais Day
Fabulous Fun for French Food and Wine Fanatics
For those who unfortunately missed out on the festivities at Belle Époque last Friday evening, the 20th of November, the night was a tremendous hit, and provided a good introduction to an event we hope will become an annual occasion here at Belle.
The Beaujolais Nouveau arrived in the nick of time, ready to be poured into the waiting glasses of our excited customers. With samples of food ranging from crepes and macaroons, to cold meats thanks to Black Pearl Epicure and pastries, it appeared the freshly shucked oysters surrounding our oyster bar were by far the favourite. With fine wine flowing, amazing food to graze upon, good company, the team at Belle Époque couldn’t have asked for a more splendid evening to celebrate such an monumentous event.
Congratulations to Damien Anthony Rossi whose snail "Mr Hollywood" took out the inaugural Escargot Cup snail race. Felicitations!
