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.

    Our food was served erratically because the kitchen staff was not well trained. Most of the items were cold instead of hot, and one order was burned - probably twice - before it was served. We do not plan on returning to the restaurant.

    Solid choice. Steak au poivre was good, Belgian meatballs were good. The brussels while crispy were deep fried and greasy. The waffle with cream and belgian chocolate was decadent! Small and casual interior. Probably a better breakfast or lunch choice. Other Taste of Belgium locations appear to be larger.
