About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Taste of Belgium is a modern Belgian brasserie that fuses Belgian and American cuisines with locally sourced ingredients for both brunch and dinner. 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. Discover more about our Belgian-inspired dining experience at www.tasteofbelgium.com.

    Ate there multiple times in the past and had good experiences. However, this past time we waited for over 20 minutes after being sat at our table without a server ever stopping at our table for any reason whatsoever. The restaurant wasn’t busy. No idea who our server even was because we never met them. After a little over 20 minutes we simply left.
