All mothers deserve to be pampered in every way possible. And let’s face it, nothing can say “I love you” more than a Sunday brunch around the waffles with champagne on the side. Forget endless mornings of scrambling eggs and loping around toast, or worse, lining up at overcrowded buffet stations. We’ve got much better plans for you. A Belgian brunch experience that will be pitch-perfect: savory and sweet; sparkling and heartfelt.
At Taste of Belgium, Belgian brunch is not a meal; it’s a moment, a vibe, a celebration of flavors that are familiar and yet fresh. Let’s forget pre-frozen pastries and reheating hash browns this Mother’s Day. Let’s treat mom to the Sunday Brunch the way it should be: made from scratch, locally loved, it is indeed unforgettable.
Why Taste of Belgium Is the Perfect Brunch Destination
Taste of Belgium is probably the first place that pops into people’s minds when “brunch in Cincinnati” is mentioned, and that’s not by accident. We have created something that reminds one of home but tastes completely different. Our bistro-style spaces exude a warm and relaxed atmosphere filled with the aroma of fresh dough, sizzling bacon, and roasted coffee beans.
Here’s the thing- we don’t do cookie-cutter. We won’t serve you another version of something you can find down the street. Instead, we deliver something you can remember. Something Belgian-inspired, made with love, formulated to what you want to eat. Our menu evolves according to what our community craves, and the kitchen brings them to life fresh, bold, and never frozen. As a scratch kitchen, we make every single item with real ingredients.
Our passion is Belgian, but our tastes are truly innovative. Liège waffles with whipped cream? Maple syrup on burgers? Decadent. Satisfying. A twist on Sunday brunch.
Whether you are relaxing in our cozy Clifton spot or enjoying the sun outside in Rookwood, the ambiance is the same: casual bistro vibes and full-service hospitality. We want to make a part of our story. Like you feel at home at Taste of Belgium.
Speaking of waffles…
The Star: Authentic Liège Waffles She’ll Love
Waffles are not an option on Mother’s Day. But we’re not talking about any regular waffles here. We’re talking about Liège waffles, dense dough-based beauties with a satisfying chew and caramelized crunches due to real pearl sugar. You’ll never find these at your hotel’s continental breakfast spread. This is waffler royalty.
Every mom has her favorite. Our lineup of waffles has something for everyone’s mood:
- Original Liège Waffle: This is where it all begins. Sweet, simple, and cooked to perfection with those signature crispy edges and caramelized bites throughout.
- Waffle & Fruit: Fresh berries, whipped cream, and the waffle that started it all? Yes, please. It looks like a light above the eyes but packs fun.
- S’more Waffle: For the mom who never said no to dessert, even at Sunday brunch. Melted Belgian chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and good old campfire memories.
These are our sources of pride. They are produced from a family recipe and fine-tuned with a local twist. And yes, it is available to take away because the branch does not remain on the table.
Bubbles & Brunch: Raise a Mimosa to Mom
Mother’s Day = Mimosa Day. No questions asked.
You could just give your mom a card and call it done. Or you could pour a flight of fruity, fizzy, citrusy love onto her in a mimosa toast.
Taste of Belgium has our classic Mimosa Flight-fun pours that do everything from the bright and zesty profile to mellow and smooth.
- SBL: A little sweet and very bright herbal finish with strawberry, basil, and lemon.
- Vacay: Delicious tropical vibes of pineapple and mango, like a mini vacation in a glass.
- #Basic: Old-fashioned orange- it’s still a favorite and surely worth brunch.
- Bellini: A peachy and floral Bellini to raise a toast to spring itself.
Mimosa Flight flavors may vary by location or season. Ask your server for today’s lineup!
Our drink menu does not end with a mimosa. Do you like your Belgian brunch with a little bit more punch? Our Bloody Mary has got you covered: it’s got a rich tomato flavor, a little peppery kick, and the right amount of savory spice imaginable. If ever there was a drink that made you feel like a solid life decision was being made, this is it—even if you were just in pajamas an hour ago.
Savory Brunch Bites for Every Taste
Brunch in Cincinnati cannot be complete without savory show-stoppers. From crepes to burgers, there is something for everybody.
- The Nati Crepe: Eggs, bacon, goetta (a Cincinnati classic), and cheddar cheese- all folded into a warm crepe. It ends up being rich, comforting, and very satisfying.
- Belgian Burger: A Belgian brunch legend. Topped with bacon, a fried egg, melted cheddar, and just a touch of maple syrup. It’s that kind of sweet-savory combo that has no business being this good.
- Garden Salad: Only available on the weekends, this lightest bite of the menu features a crispy mix of fresh greens, seasonal veggies, and champagne vinaigrette. It is the lightest bite on the table and is a perfect way to balance out the sugar intake.
Want to mix and match? That is the fun of a Belgian brunch. You are encouraged to do it your way. Start with a waffle, divide a crepe, follow that with a mimosa, and finish with an espresso. There are no wrong answers here.
