Sofia CaseJanuary 15, 2016Mussels with chorizo sausage is overkill. Just writing that makes me wonder why I thought it would be a good thing to order in the first place. Also, it is said to include truffles, which it doesn't.
Bitches Who BrunchDecember 12, 2016Bitches Who Brunch's Best Bites 2016 winner for Best Waffles! Don't miss the Nutella banana waffle with whipped cream and berries. Read more
Behrad EatsAugust 20, 2014I doubt you could go wrong with any brunch option here, but I'd recommend the MAIS WAFELS: Cornbread waffle, pulled pork, avocado, fried egg, crème fraîche
The Spicy B&B Bloody Mary is surprisingly good! So was the lobster omlet and seasoned potato fingers. I'm now a big fan of Belgian breakfast!
- Chelsea StephensJanuary 7, 2014the waffles aren't even the best part (although they're pretty good) - the hot chocolate with bailey's is phenomenal, and the bucket of bacon was so delicious and crunchy.
Rebecca M.November 18, 2012You'll do fine ordering any waffle, but for something different, try the ham and cheese quiche with mixed greens. Yum. Service is attentive, but slow. Have a second mimosa or cappuccino and relax.
Kathryn JohnsonAugust 20, 2015Savory ratatouille quinoa waffles were amazing! I'd also recommend the sea bass—very light. Restaurant Week service left a lot to be desired though.
Timothy RaymondMarch 16, 2013Kid-friendly early in the evening (5-6pm). Waffles are mostly on lunch/brunch menu but not dinner. For dinner, try any of the many muscle preparations. And Belgian Beers!
The Hill is HomeJanuary 21, 2012One of the best Belgian restaurants in the city. You may hear celestial trumpets as you take a bite out of their steak frites paired with the perfect beer.
M Squared Real EstateAugust 20, 2011Belga serves perfectly fine Belgian cuisine, and has at all times at least five fine Belgian beers on tap (and a host more besides). Reliable food, best for dinner.
M BMay 14, 2017The beef stew is phenomenal! Leffe beer in the ju. The slaw that comes with it has slices of apple in it.
Braye CloudMarch 23, 2013This place is great. Get the beermosa and the short ribs with polenta and poached eggs. Also, the fries are insane!
Laura BlackAugust 1, 2015It might feel wrong to order French toast at a waffle place... But it's truly amazing.
Karri WrightApril 29, 2013Beautiful food - and it's so tasty, too! Bloody Mary is great - love the celery foam on top.
ShangAugust 27, 2016the steak was excellent. the mussels is okay but not the best: it was sandy. the service is fine. take note that they automatically add 20% tip on your total bill.
Jonathan GormleyApril 21, 2013Serves Green Eggs And Ham, totally legit! Not for kids either; it's great if you like pesto, spinach, & bacon.
Ashley ShumwayNovember 17, 2013Get the goat cheese waffles! Also, the bucket of bacon is big enough to share. #mco435
Lorri EckmanSeptember 1, 2012Try the The "B"Anini - Best Panini E-V-E-R!!! Creamed spinach, chorizo, gruyère cheese, roasted garlic.
The good: the B&BS burger is outstanding. The bad: the ballads channel in the background can drive you to insanity.
Ashley RoseSeptember 4, 2011Definitely make reservations on OpenTable if you plan on stopping by for brunch- it is packed but extremely efficient service.
Gina ConenelloApril 16, 2011Get the hot chocolate, it's made by melting belgian chocilate into hot milk. It will be the best you've ever had!
Kendal AnnFebruary 17, 2013Even with a reservation you won't be seated on time. (Or twenty mins after your reservation.) You've been warned.
EdDecember 5, 2011There's some kind of magic in the cheese croquettes.. and in everything else. Amazing restaurant.
Beer Tasting Dinner, sept 27th at 6-30pm. 3 courses paired with 7 beers from New Belgium Brewery!
Stuart WrightMarch 29, 2019Can’t think of anything good, except the mimosa and coffee. Everything else was americanized and lacked flavour.
Brunch and the CityJanuary 22, 2012
Try the Liege Waffles. They are AMAZING! Almost as good as being in Belgium! Mmmmm...
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Fabio Trabocchi, chef of Fiola, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Eendenborst. Read more
Aaron BrazellFebruary 13, 2010Must get the Mais Waffels. Cornbread waffles, with pulled pork and egg covering it. Amazing
It's actually a Belgian restaurant with delicious lambics!
Angel FloresMay 3, 2013The happy hour portions are really small. The "wings" translates to one wing for $4.
