About this restaurant

Great for brunch
Good for groups
Good for business meals

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.

Had mussels and fries. Flavor was fine but the mussels needed to be cleaned better, quite a bit of sand. Fries supposedly doubled fries but the first set weee lukewarm and soggy. They redid the fries which were hot but still pale and not crisp. Somewhat disappointing. Server very nice and accomodating. .

First appetizer we ordered wasn’t available. We ordered something different. It wasn’t very warm at all. The steak on our salads was rare when we asked for medium. The server was new but gave a good effort. Disappointing.

It was the perfect place for Mother’s Day brunch. And when my son showed up and surprised me, our waiter happily found us another table to accommodate the extra person. Service and Food was exceptional.

Mussel Thursday is worth it every time! We love the variety of mussel preparations and the selection of beers you can’t get anywhere else. Everyone in our group found something they liked (there’s so much more than waffle and chicken)! We are planning to come back for burger Wednesday next week!
Taste of Belgium - RookwoodResponded on May 12, 2025
Hello Christian, we truly appreciate your kind words! Mussel Thursday is a delight, and it’s fantastic that everyone found something to enjoy. Excited to see you again for Burger Wednesday next week! - Taste of Belgium Team

This was an Easter brunch. A good variety of entrees on the menu. Food presentation was very good. The drinks selection with special mixed drinks. The beer selection was adequate and excellent quality of the beers that were on tap. I would have preferred more Chimay’s on tap but would still rate the selection excellent. Other locations for Taste of Belgium do have a wider variety. It is a fun airy and sunny atmosphere.

Hi Douglas, thank you for the great feedback! It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed our menu variety, and the quality of drinks. Your suggestion regarding more Chimays on tap is appreciated, and we will pass it on to the team. Looking forward to having you back soon! - Taste of Belgium Team

Too noisy with too loud music to have a conversation. The tables were too small as bumping elbows with neighboring tables. The food was decent but the ambiance poor. I like to eat somewhere more comfortable.

Good food. Had seven people, and they provided us with a separate room, which was very nice. My mom had a difficult time hearing, and they were able to turn the music volume down, which was also appreciated.

Hello Lisa, good to hear that the food was enjoyable and that the separate room added to your experience. Your positive review brightened our day. Special thanks to the team for accommodating your mom by adjusting the music volume. Looking forward to having you back soon! - Taste of Belgium Team
