good food,goodservice. up until recently, i hadn't actually planned on going to taste of belgium bistro. i had tried their waffles at findlay market and didn't care for them a whole lot. however, some fellow foodies at the dog park i go to had highly recommended taste of belgium bistro so i figured that i'd give it a shot.
service was excellent. food came out in a reasonable time frame and the manager came over to check on us a few times.
the beer selection is fantastic. i'm not much of a connoisseur when it comes to beer so i just kind of randomly picked one - the chimay, and i liked it. it was very sweet and it came in it's own little goblet shaped glass. in fact, a lot of the beers they have on tap have their own glasses, which is a neat detail.
for our entrees, i ended up getting the "am-ber-gaire" (hamburger) and my girlfriend got the waffle n’ chicken. the burger was properly seasoned, cooked as i ordered, had a nice sweet roll type bun, and the ingredients on top (goat cheese, bacon, shallots) tasted great. the fries that came with it were okay (a bit on the soft side for me), but i really loved the accompanying chipotle mayo. my girlfriend found the waffle n' chicken to be very good. i'm not as much of a breakfast fan (hence the hamburger), so i defer to her judgment concerning breakfast items. the waffle was great and i think part of what made it as such was that it had syrup on it. this was what i was missing when i tried the waffle at findlay market. i guess perhaps the idea that waffles and syrup go together is so ingrained in me that i just can't enjoy a waffle by itself. either way, agooddish, and one that neither of us had tried before.
overall, i really enjoyed my experience at taste of belgium. if i lived in the area i'd probably come here regularly. the restaurant itself is chic and trendy, the staff was friendly, and the food was good. i would recommend to others and it is worth a bit of a drive to go to.
