Taste of Belgium - The Banks - Belgian restaurant in Cincinnati - 16 West Freedom Way, USA

Excellent everything! Had reservations and arrived 30 minutes early, no problem, sat right down. Kind, knowledgeable, and friendly service. Food was excellent, purchased more to take home.

This place was awesome!! The waffles are unmatched elsewhere. Goetta is always good when you are in town. And of course, being a Belgian place, the beer selection is phenomenal. I didn’t have any, as it was breakfast time, but next time. Cheers!

This is the first time I’ve given less than a five star review, but I feel like honesty is key! The service overall was good, and our server was friendly throughout our entire experience. I give it a 3 just because of the quality of the food in comparison to the price. I ordered the Buddha bowl, and it was nothing too special. There was not a lot of seasoning, and I feel like I could have made it at home. With that being said, though, I recognize they are known for their waffles, so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing! Might have to go back for another try…

Delicious late night snack. The restaurant is open late and it’s a perfect desert spot. The waffle is my favorite, very crispy and delicious. Crapes are very tasty as well. Nutella and banana crape is a must. Staff is friendly. Lost of other deserts are also available

One of the good new places in Cincinnati. Excellent food, great beer selection, and if you sit outside, you get to see things like what I’m posting. Service is good and friendly, which is typical for this area, Cincinnati. If you have not checked out, Over the Rhine, please do. If you are not familiar with taste of Belgium, a couple of things to note: their waffles are not the light and fluffy kind, but thicker with more flavor and mouth, feel, typical of something you’d get in the German Austrian area. And the coffee that they have is actually absolutely amazing. I insist on having cream and sugar, or Baileys with my coffee, but this is the only coffee I’ve ever had, and I’m not exaggerating, we’re having it black is just fine. Actually very good. It’s so smooth and flavorful. You really have to try some and then buy it by the pound to take home and try for yourself.

Went in the morning, about some minutes after they opened so not busy at all. Started off with a "SBL" mimosa. Really good, sweet with the mild hint of the alcohol. My significant other got the "Bacon & cheese farm egg" while I received the brunch burger. Her input on it was that it was good, different textures with the soft egg & creamy cheese mixed well. Whilst mine was straight to the point, a burger with waffle buns & glazed honey inside made it a sweet burger. The medium rare with sweet syrup, brings dazzling to my eye balls. The waffle was the "Belgium chocolate & cream", don't think it was worth $7 for a bit of waffle with whip cream & chocolate syrup. I'd skip on it next time & just get main courses. To each their own, would come back. Interior is very nice & outdoor seating is great to have for a view but not much of one if cars parked along the curb LOL. Parking is limited on the street, paid street meters.

Good brunch place! The Belgium waffles were just a tad too sweet for my preferences, but still recommend it. Spicy Bloody Mary is definitely spicy too!

I had the biscuit and gravy with chicken & it was delicious. The dish is also very heavy so be ready for a nap after you enjoy it. The server was very nice, efficient and helpful. For some reason dining here just doesn’t feel quite like that ‘5 star experience’. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good breakfast but this place wouldn’t make it in my dining out routine.
