fully open. 4. serve steaming hot with a side of frites. about tasteof belgium clifton location 2845 vine st, cincinnati, oh 45219 about us taste of belgium is a restaurant group of belgian-inspired eateries. we take traditional belgian recipes and we twist them; we take american classics and we belgianize them. in 2007, jean- franois flechet brought back a 120lbs cast iron waffle maker from his native belgium. he began baking the waffles he grew up with at the back of a produce store at findlay market. after a few weeks, the store was congested with waffle-eating- people and jean- franois was told he needed to find a new home. the little waffle place grew, one waffle at a time to become a new cincinnati/columbus favorite. from one person and a waffle iron, taste of belgium expanded into multiple food establishments including two full service bistros

lunch, dinner and a unique weekend brunch with a large selection of belgian beers and two market locations: one at findlay market cincinnati, oh and one at the north market columbus, oh . taste of belgium is also featured at the great american ballpark as the official waffle of the cincinnati reds. taste of belgium draws on its belgian heritage to create a one-of-a- kind, belgian- inspired, locally infused culinary experience. we thumb our nose at convention and treat our guests and their taste buds to unexpected combinations and unorthodox preparations. belgians would be disturbed by the idea of eating a lige waffle with fried chicken and hot sauce. the french would be upset that we belgianized their "galettes bretonnes" by adding beer to the buckwheat crpe batter. and the old-grain belgian genever we use in many of our handcrafted cocktails can rival any cachaa to make the perfect caipirinha. we believe elegant cuisine can be served with a down-to-earth attitude and humble foods can be served elegantly. we take the food we create and the service we provide very seriously, but not ourselves.
