Melbourne’s Epocha restaurant to close after more than a decade

·

Epocha, the iconic European restaurant in Carlton run by Angie Giannakodakis and Guy Holder, will close down after 12 years in service.

The co-owners broke the news of the closure of their beloved restaurant on social media on Wednesday, July 31.

Following the announcement, Giannakodakis spoke with Herald Sun and declared, “I’m beyond words, I’m overwhelmed with the sentiments that are coming through and I do hope to do some beautiful things in the future.”

“The freehold of the building is being sold and the landlords were trying to sell the building for the past ten months… And yes, the economic downturn has had some impact… it’s definitely time to call it a day. We wanted to leave on good terms and while the love of the industry is with us,” she added.

Epocha’s closure is among many longstanding Melbourne restaurants shutting due to the financial burden of the rise in cost of living. The venue’s last service will be on Saturday, September 14.
