Over-the-Rhine’s Destination for Brunch, Dinner & Belgian Beer

Just steps from Findlay Market and Washington Park, Taste of Belgium OTR brings bold Belgian flavors to the heart of one of Cincinnati’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Since 2011, our full-service bistro has been serving crave-worthy dishes—from Liège waffles to flavorful mussels—alongside a curated local beer list.

Whether you’re starting with brunch or sitting down to dinner, our OTR location offers a cozy brasserie vibe perfect for any occasion. It’s a top spot for pre-show bites near the Cincinnati Music Hall and Cincy Ensemble Theater, game day dinners before an FC Cincinnati match at TQL Stadium, or relaxed evenings with friends. With flavorful plates, creative cocktails, and a warm atmosphere, dinner in OTR is always worth the trip.

In 2014, Guy Fieri featured us on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, highlighting our beer cheese pretzels, signature waffle & chicken, and comforting Belgian-American fare. Come see why our dinner menu keeps the conversation—and the forks—going.

Frequently asked questions

What makes the OTR location special?

Our Over-the-Rhine (OTR) bistro is where it all started—our first full-service restaurant that helped bring a new wave of energy to the historic OTR district. It’s where we took our Belgian waffles and went bigger, adding our famous Chicken & Waffles, Belgian dinner classics, and some serious beer selection. Oh, and did we mention Guy Fieri himself stopped by for Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives? Yep, it’s that good.

Absolutely! Whether you’re planning a family brunch or a cozy dinner in OTR, our restaurant offers a relaxed environment with a menu that caters to all ages. Kids love our signature waffles, and we offer a great selection of craft sodas and mocktails for younger guests.
