Located in St. Joseph this quaint restaurant made us very happy. The food was great, the Italian Barolo was HH price and the Thistle wallpaper was elegant and fun. Unfortunately my phone died and unable to post food pictures so I'll be back and will add to my review because I love this place read more

The cutest cafe. Our server was attentive and sweet. The drinks were great. Our table had the irish coffee, bloody mary(which were half off during brunch) and an aperol spritz. All delicious. The food....I don't know even know. Rough. The roast beef hash was more like a soup? With very wet and bruised yet crunchy diced potatoes? The egg on top almost seemed microwaved or cooked on some strange nonstick pan that made it a plastic like texture? After looking around at other tables the breakfast sandwich looked like really the only palatable choice. Everything else was just...wet? Go for drinks for sure though. read more

In town for business. Found this cute little place in downtown St Joseph. Had the smokes salmon appetizer - very good. Had the stuffed portobello - very yum. Friend had the salmon and said was very good. Highly recommend. And locally owned - even better :). read more

My salad was flavorful, never had anything like it. It didn't have enough greenery in it. Service was friendly and fast. read more

The Belle Epoque Cafe - Fig and Pear Burrata Salad - Cafes Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

Service was excellent. Very friendly and attentive. I had a chicken dish. It consisted of drumsticks, a square of cheesy potatoes, two asparagus spears and a couple slices of tomato. The vegetables were good. The chicken just ok. It was a little dry and perhaps overcooked. In all, it was good and I wasn't that hungry so it was enough. But not a place for large appetites. Nice historic building. Worth a stop if you don't want the chain restaurant fare in most St Joe restaurants. read more

Delicious food and a great atmosphere. The chair I sat in was not berry comfortable, but that is a petty complaint

Loved the place... so comfortable ... great service! Wonderful Chicken Salad Sandwich Wife had house salad - loved it I had the Pear and Fig Salad - amazing We did not want anything else (until) we saw the dessert menu... the two we had were great and worth it! We were just driving down I-29 and ventured into downtown St Joe just based on the Google reviews - so glad we did. Sorry did not take any pictures except a quick one of the interior. Shows a bit of the ambiance. read more

Such a great little gem. I have eaten here 3 times and each time has been such a wonderful experience. The medallions at dinner are the most tender meat ever and the desserts are amazing. For lunch I had a sweet potato bun mini sliders and didn't know the flavors would have me craving for another visit. This is a great date spot and the servers are great. I enjoyed the throwback Gatsby decor, actually googling the name it is the Belle Epoque Era. read more

Hidden gem! Sunday noon we stopped in. Lovely ambiance and great service. We went with brunch selections. My wife had two different toast selections, one salmon and cream cheese and one avocado and bacon. Loved both. I had the green eggs and ham. Awesome concept and execution. Very reasonable prices. Try it! read more

Coming in from out of town with a fiend and we found this cute little place. The menu is a refreshing opportunity for the taste buds, not your hamburger and fries place. My pear and fig salad was great and the service was spot on! Plan on going back with some family. read more

Well, I really wanted to like this place. The good part: music, atmosphere and service. The bad part: the FOOD. Very small portions of consistently mediocre fare. I had the Reuben Bake. It had flecks of mystery meat, no kraut, no rye, no thousand island. None in our party had a positive food experience. Meals, tax and tip came to $25 each. Recommendation: don't bother. read more

The service saved the meal. Had the Lox and toast had to ask for more Lox (see pic) tasted like cream cheese on a piece of basic bread. Being a cafe, I expected a thick slice of homemade bread or something not out of Sara Lee packaging. I came for the French toast, but they were out. The cinnamon roll was not done in the middle. The banana loft was not made that day. My husband got the quiche, and it was a very small serving, but he enjoyed it. After leaving, we were still hungry, not my idea of brunch, especially for the price. read more

A Gem in St. Joseph, Missouri. Great ambience, terrific food and a pleasant staff. Try the chicken curry! A real treat to find. read more

This was a favorite place for me and a friend last summer. The food was divine and portion sizes were respectable, while wait times were very reasonable. We just had lunch there yesterday and a few things seemed different. The parking lot was not full. Great for us! We seated ourselves and I noticed a cocktail menu on the table that wasn't there before. Fabulous! We're "brunching" and adult drinks are perfect with brunch. We're greeted with the friendliest wait staff and receive our menu's. Uh oh....everything has completely changed. Where's the Shepard's pie!? In fact, there are very few items that involve a fork, as this has changed into a sandwich-style of menu. I'm having a difficult time picking out what I want because the changes here are pretty big. I ordered the breakfast burrito and a side salad. It took a very long time for our food to arrive. When it did, I couldn't believe how small the burrito was, which would be okay if it were actually good. I was underwhelmed and still hungry but figured in 20 minutes, this will subside. My friend wasn't hearing it and offered me a taste of her slider, which wasn't bad. After reading other reviews, I learned it was under new ownership, which now makes more sense as to why it was so different. The good. -the ambiance and music -the service -the cocktail selection The bad. -the menu selection -the long wait times -the exquisite taste of their dishes...gone, and now just meh My suggestion to the new owners would be to lower your prices to better represent your menu offerings and wait times. Keep the excellent staff and music. read more

Most excellent dish. The white lasagna was wonderful. And the salad was impressive (my dining companion said she could drink this dressing). I would highly recommend this! read more

High quality food and service. The menu has an interesting variety of food items. Nice decor.

First, the place itself is amazing. Really cool woodwork and tin stamped ceiling. The food arrives from the downstairs kitchen via a dumb waiter located behind the bar. Our server was friendly. The food was outstanding. They say they are farm to table and I believe it My wife had a BLT and tomato bisque and loved it. I had a ham and cheese sandwich on a croissant with the hummus and pita bread. A ham and cheese sandwich should be pretty basic, but for some reason this one was very fresh and delicious. The hummus was outstanding and the pita was very fresh. I will definitely be back! read more

Great spot in downtown Saint Joseph. The atmosphere is nice and open. The menu is small but has enough variety to please most people. They offer farm to table food and let me tell you, it delicious. They didn't have a desecrated gluten free menu but they made certain that the recommended items were gluten free. Our salads were great. The split pea soup was yummy too and my husband liked his sandwich. We left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. This is a great little spot. read more

This was a lovely dining space with outstanding farm to table options. The house salad was perfect and the ranch was delicious. But, the Vegan Shepherds Pie was one of the best Vegan dishes I shave ever had--and I have tried a ton! Thanks to the owners and help this was an experience I will not soon forget! Brava! read more

Spending the day in St Joseph for grandson's high school soccer game tonight and chose The Belle Époque Cafe for lunch. My husband and I were thrilled with our lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere. He had the chutney chicken sandwich and I had grilled cheese and bacon, both with tomato bisque. We also ordered a side of the red cabbage salad and highly recommend! read more

Ok now that was IMPRESSIVE! Four of us went in with only forty five minutes to shovel in some food and the waitress hooked us up! A couple of us had wine and beer and we ordered four appetizers to split. FILLING and so full of flavor. I would love to make a trip back to try and entree. If the appetizers are any indication of how amazing the meals are... AMAZING. read more

Charming and ethical! I get cranky with people automatically giving me plastic straws (especially if they'll just be thrown away even if I don't use it). But they provided good paper straws for us to use to drink our draft cider (which also presumably means less waste than bottled). I got the pomegranate cider, which was a little more tart than the cherry my companion ordered, both were lovely and from nearby Kansas City. Our dinner was delicious: I wanted to save room for dessert so ordered a pear and fig salad (both mission and brown figs); I would've preferred goat cheese to the burrata, but that's a matter of taste, I still enjoyed it very much. We both had French onion soup; the cheese topping it was outstanding (I didn't ask if it was local, but they do aim for farm-to-table). My companion chose the green lasagna which we both liked quite a bit as well, even though I usually avoid lasagna because of the texture of ricotta. And we finished with the bourbon pecan chocolate pie (I may have the adjectives in the wrong order), but it was yummy as anticipated, with a tasty crust as well as the filling. Finally, the ambience is casual-nice: classy decor (as the name suggests) but bright rather than dim; I think one could wear just about anything clean, and we were at a small stone high-top table on stools, with really nice cloth napkins. read more

Really cute restaurant with a nice menu selection. We also enjoyed the shops next door.

I was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the Belle Époque Cafe. It is SO refreshing to see a place like this pop up in St. Joe. Shortly after walking in I could tell just by the decor that I was in store for something unique. The overall vibe is quaint metropolitan, but not pretentious. The food itself was DELICIOUS. I order the three cheese macaroni and spinach/arugula side salad. The macaroni was topped with some of the best bacon I have ever tasted in my life (and as a native Midwesterner, I know my way around some bacon). Others in my group had BLTs and roast beef sandwiches, all of which looked/tasted amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful, making this a great place to catch up with friends and family. Supporting local businesses is easy when they're as great as this place! read more
