About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Kid-friendly
  • Lively
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.

    We had reservations for a party of 5 on Saturday. They sat us at a HUGE booth. The music was so loud & we were seated so far from each other it was very hard to have a conversation either each other. We asked twice for the music to be turned down. It would get turned down but then slowly get louder again. We had a vegetarian in our party (part of why we chose this place). We couldn’t get the vegetarian menu; had to scan a QR code but the code didn’t work. Finally went to website & pulled hp the vegetarian menu. She wanted to order the pepper onion crepe. The waiter was very confused and couldn’t find it on his ordering device. He kept having to ‘go get help’. Finally our guest face up & just ordered a salad. I ordered a Diet Coke but kept getting Coke Zero (there is a taste difference). Again gave up on this as well. Food took awhile to come but was just as ordered and good. We tried to order dessert but that was not easy either. Asked about something I saw in the case & waiter couldn’t tell me what it was. Finally another waitress explained it to me. I asked if we could have desert menus. Waiter brought one for the whole table but we were ‘miles’ apart. I asked if we could possibly have more than one menu. Had to go get it. Two people ordered regular cheesecake. Waiter struggled with his device again. Had to leave to get help. Finally came back & said there wasn’t any regular cheesecake so they orders strawberry. Waiter turned to leave to put in the order & I had to tell him we weren’t done ordering. Test of the party orders. Deserts came. Strawberry cheesecake was horrible!! But at that point we were done. Paid. Asked for a receipt which I never got. We left.

    Seating is a bit close which makes the noise a bit loud. We came for breakfast. I found the food a bit bland.

    Food isn’t as good as it use to be. Dessert was great but steak was overcooked and food didn’t much flavor

    Overall food was ok, waffle was cold (seems that is how they do it?) fried chicken was warm but not hot. Server was very good. Our last visit different location food was subpar as well. Now it makes sense why several have closed in the Cincinnati area since we had to travel near downtown to use our Gift Card. In general would not visit Taste of Belgium again, disappointing and we don't have a high bar to please.

    Always love Taste of Belgium. The food was great, per usual, but it was so, so cold in there. We ate with our winter coats on and still shivered. Full disclosure, it was freezing outside, but yikes it was cold inside.

    Hi Angela, it's wonderful to hear that you love Taste of Belgium! The team appreciates your kind words about the food. However, it’s concerning to learn that the temperature inside was uncomfortable during your visit. We truly empathize with your experience and will address this issue. We're counting down the days until your next visit! #respectthewaffle - Taste of Belgium Team

    I recently started a new attempt at Keto life…I was looking to be not hungry for just a little while, ya know? At ToB they have a breakfast for dinner menu…omg, so good. I had steak and eggs with Brussel sprouts. It was a tasty and filling…perfect really. Thanks Jordan for being cool and feeding this old fat guy great food.

    Hello Grant, what a fantastic review! The breakfast-for-dinner menu is indeed a crowd-pleaser, and it’s wonderful to hear that the steak and eggs with Brussels sprouts hit the spot. We will pass on your compliments to Jordan for their excellent service. We're counting down the days until your next visit! #livelikeabelgian #respectthewaffle - Taste of Belgium Team

    PROs: We were there for breakfast. We were promptly seated, the server came over right away, and our food came out quickly. CONS: It was a cold morning and the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived. We had made a reservation and upon arrival I specifically asked to be seated away from the door. We were seated in the area at the front of the restaurant, behind the entry. IT WAS COLD. We should have asked to be moved to the back, nearer the kitchen. Enjoyed the mimosas, but my companion and I both found the crepes to be mediocre. The unexceptional taste of the crepes was not enhanced by the way they chilled quickly due to the ambient air temperature. A heater or three would not go amiss. Might be a better dining experience in warmer weather or later in the day after the kitchens could contribute some heat.
