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 to Cincinnati. Taste of Belgium operates two full service restaurants, one at the Banks and one at Rookwood Exchange.
Omelettes, waffles & crepes are the specialties of this local, Belgian-influenced cafe chain.

Came here the next morning after the football game. Been wanting to try it! Definitely a must try if you’re in the city. Very unique menu! Have a wide variety of specialty coffee selections! My husband had the waffles and chicken. The waffle was like none we have ever eaten before. The view is amazing as welll

A good food from Europe. First time trying Belgium food, we ordered “Bolo” “Steak and fries” “Chicken Burger” and “Salmon”everything was delicious! One remark to staff, educate more your waitress about menu, it’s hard to make a decision what to order if you not familiar with Belgium cuisine.
PS. The problem is finding the parking in Cincinnati downtown specifically in Saturday night. I parked on the street and paid 5$ for two hours which is not bad.

Just went there for a takeaway coffee.
My iced pumpkin spice latte was amazing. 9/10
However Hot Chai latte was alright. It wasn’t lukewarm and didn’t really have “chai” taste. 2/10
The service was amazing! 10/10
Good ambience as well.

Jean-François Fletched moved from Belgium to Cincinnati in 2000. He started selling his authentic Liège waffles at Findlay Market in 2007 and was an instant hit. In 2011, Jean-François opened his first Taste of Belgium.
Frites and dips are fries served with four different dips. The fries were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and lightly salted. My personal favorite of the dips was the curry ketchup and the malt vinegar mayo.
I ordered the Classic Bennie, which is served on their waffle, rather than an English Muffin and has grilled ham and arugula. I have recently realized that I really enjoy arugula with breakfast. The bitterness of the arugula and the hollandaise that had a very pronounced lemon flavor, was so delicious. The waffle was very sweet. All together the flavors worked very well, however I would still rather the English Muffin because I want my eggs Benedict to be savory not sweet.
Some other dishes that were ordered were savory crepes, granola parfait, Belgium Burger, a mimosa flight Knights Reserve and some iced coffees.
The building was beautiful and it’s in such a wonderful location. You are literally in between @Cincinnati Bengals and @Cincinnati Reds stadiums.

TOB is awesome. Belgium draft beer selections are outstanding. Cuisine is delightful. Atmosphere is a blend of pub and dining with booths, tables, etc. We’ll be back.

First time ever at Taste of Belgium. And I must say the food with some of the best tasting food we’ve ever had. We stopped in after the Reds game, it’s missing a star mostly because it was very hot where we were sitting which affects the atmosphere and had we gotten a drink refill without having to go ask the manager for it that would have bolstered the other one.

Im never coming back to this place. Years ago I had such a great time here with my mom and friends. So when my family came from other country to visit me I wanted to take them to the amazing yummy waffles I had time before.
My surprise when I get there… that they couldn’t serve us. Cause there was no table for us. Even we were willing in waiting. We didn’t care in waiting 1 hour cause we know is worth it. But the person was so rude. He kept saying I dont have tables (when it was not even half full the place). We asked if we could sit outdoors cause the weather is nice, he told us they weren’t sitting people out (there’s was a table outdoor of 4 persons). So what happened here?
Racism?? Cause we are from other country?
What happened??
Idk but what i know for sure is will never go back and I will tell everyone to avoid this business.

I went with two other people out for dinner and we all shared our dishes. Everything was amazing! We were at a different location for breakfast and loved it so much that we had to come back. We got the poutine, Nashville chicken and waffles, and the Beltucky. All the food was delicious! I just absolutely love their waffles so much. It’s unlike any waffle I’ve ever had! We brought a whole bunch home for family and friends and of course some for ourselves! The staff was great and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area! This location is especially conveniently located near a lot of other great attractions.

Very fine place to go after a long day.
Followup: I was really disappointed with my visit to Taste of Belgium. The cappuccino was genuinely horrible, the steak was almost uneatable, and the wait time felt endless. By the time the food finally arrived, it was cold. For the price and reputation, I expected way better. I won’t be coming back anytime soon.

Our server, Laura, was amazing. She even made a list of recommendations for other places we might want to visit! And the food? Outstanding. Every Single Thing. My waffle flight was the perfect choice.
