Taste of Belgium offers a carefully curated beer list featuring an unequaled selection of Belgian brews and craft cocktails to enhance every meal. In 2023, Jean-François Flechet, our founder, was honored with a knighthood by the prestigious Knighthood of the Brewer's Paddle, recognizing his dedication to Belgian brewing traditions. Our journey began in 2007 at Cincinnati's historic Findlay Market, where Jean-François introduced a traditional Liège-style waffle recipe and a 120-pound cast-iron waffle maker from Belgium. Since then, Taste of Belgium has expanded to seven full-service neighborhood brasseries across Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio.

Had a great dinner at Alcove!! We came to the restaurant prior to our show at Music Hall, and our wait staff was more than willing to help us out. We put our full order at once, and everything came out in a timely fashion and was delicious! Our server was very attentive and absolutely fantastic. We were out in plenty of time to get to our show. Thanks for a great experience!!

We’ve had dinner twice at Pepp & Dolores, and both experiences were fabulous. The food is amazing and service is great, but be sure to make a reservation if possible! Pepp & Dolores is obviously very loved, so seats can fill up quick. We look forward to going back soon!

Our waiter was so kind and the risotto balls and chicken schnitzel were the best gluten free foods I have ever had. It was my first time going there for dinner and I was blown away. Will definitely be returning.
