Reviews For Taste of Belgium - The Banks

After a long day at the zoo (with only a pumpkin muffin for breakfast), we were starving when we arrived at Taste of Belgium. This was our first visit and it did NOT disappoint. Our server Journey was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful, and our food was delicious and delivered to our table quickly. We had the beer cheese and pretzels for an appetizer. It was so good. We both ordered liege waffles for our meal. I had the "Over the Top" waffle and my daughter has the bananas and Nutella. Both were delicious and filling. So happy this restaurant was recommended to us!

I have seen their signage all around Cincinnati. We stopped in for breakfast. My wife and I ordered the breakfast place, which included a signature waffle. My daughter ordered the s’mores crepe. When I bit into my waffle, my mouth went on a journey! I have had many waffles but none like this. Highly recommend this place for delicious food and drinks.

First time here with the family. We had the Carbonnades Poutine for an appetizer. I had the Birria Waffle. My wife had the Nicolese salad. The oldest child had the McWaffle, and the youngest had the Brunch Burger. Everything looks great, and tasted better. Our server Jacob was excellent. I definitely recommend trying out Taste of Belgium.

Had around a fifteen to twenty minute wait to get in. Our server was very attentive and proactive with our needs. The food was amazing, and you have to try a waffle during your visit. The menu is expansive with a lot of different options. The inside is nice but really just felt like any modern establishment. The food and service are the key here. If you are in the banks I would put this restaurant on your radar.

Absolutely delicious! I ordered the Steak & Egg and it was cooked to perfection — tender flank steak, flavorful chimichurri, and perfectly cooked eggs. The potatoes were crispy and seasoned just right. Great portion size and amazing service. I’ll definitely be back!

The place is well decorated and the location is a plus, right beside the Ohio river. The waffle chicken was delicious but didn't really like the Belgium burger. I really enjoyed my time there.
