Farm to table is a promise. At Taste of Belgium, we have developed Cincinnati dinner experiences on the premise that food tastes better when it comes straight from the neighboring farms, provided by local artisans, and served in the spirit of community.
In our books, farm to table implies making meaningful connections between what might be a casual vegetarian dinner or a heavy brunch into a celebration of Cincinnati’s local flavors and local stories.
Since then, our motive has been to bring Belgian heritage together with Ohio’s rich resources. Working with the farmers, bakers, cheesemakers, and brewers who inspire us every day, we continue to design recipes that celebrate their work and pay homage to Belgian methods. Whether it’s small plates with friends, a simple brunch, or a vegetarian dinner for the family, every forkful speaks to our love of food shared between people.
From shareable starters to signature brunch plates and decadent waffles, every dish at Taste of Belgium tells the story of Cincinnati’s farmers, bakers, and brewers. Let’s get into it!
What Farm to Table Means at Taste of Belgium
When you dine with us, you get to savor the very best of Ohio. We buy fresh produce from local farms and work with growers who share our commitment to good, sustainable food. This means that our menus go through changes each season as ingredients change and Ohio farms follow the rhythm of the year.
Our Harvest Salad layers grilled chicken, 80 Acres greens, herbed farmer’s cheese, apple, and sweet potato with farro, dried cherries, and black pepper nuts, finished with pomegranate vinaigrette.
We partner with artisan bakers who hand-make the breads and pastries we offer with pride, cheesemakers who add richness to our meals, and brewers who craft local beers that just perfectly complement our offerings. These partners thus help ensure that local Cincinnati dinner choices are fresh and delicious while still firmly rooted in the farm-to-table movement that supports the community.
Celebrating Cincinnati’s Local Artisans Through Every Plate
Every plate we serve is more than just a meal; it’s a tribute to the growers, makers, and artisans who bring Cincinnati’s food culture to life. From farm fields to local kitchens, their passion and craft shine through in every bite.
Shareables & Sides that Tell a Story
In every dish, there is a story of its origin. Our Brussels Sprouts with pancetta and sherry vinaigrette exemplify the vivid flavors of produce grown in Ohio and show our patrons how fresh ingredients can make an elegant difference even in a very simple dish.
The icing on the cake is our Beer Cheese made with raspberry lambic and served with house-made pretzels. A beautiful melding of Belgian tradition with Cincinnati’s artisan baking culture into a taste experience that speaks the languages of both cultures.
Signature Brunch Plates
Our brunch menu is a love letter to the Cincinnati farmers. Loaded with farm-fresh veggies, kimchi, farro, and avocado, the Buddha Bowl makes a bright vegetarian dinner that is equally lovely and healthy.
The Breakfast Plate pays homage to Ohio homegrown Eckerlin goetta and applewood smoked bacon, a nod to farm-sourced proteins popular in Ohio. Every dish is carefully designed to celebrate the farmers, bakers, and artisans who make Cincinnati dinner so unique.
Supporting Local Breweries & Distilleries
Our farm-to-table philosophy does not just stop at food; we like to see it through every beverage we serve and drink. We collaborate with Ohio brewers while honoring Belgian brewing traditions to ensure that the drinks are as thoughtfully composed as the plates. You can find a TOB IPA, a Baptist Wit, or a Rhinegeist Truth on our Drinks Menu: some brews capturing the combined spirit of local and Belgian artistry.
Sweet Endings with Local Inspiration
Desserts are the sweet spot for us to have something lovely with a local twist. Crispy Ohio apples bring the orchard freshness together with just-the-right-Belgian-waffle-touch in our Caramel, Apple & Walnut Waffle.
The Over-the-Top Waffle is piled with lemon curd, local berries, and maple-Ricotta whipped cream atop a waffle, creating a dessert that acknowledges seasonal waking and draws in anyone with a sweet tooth. These dishes send the message to diners that farm-to-table can also be a way to the dessert plate.
Beyond the Plate: Our Commitment to Cincinnati’s Community
Farm-to-table is much more to us than actual food and ingredients. It has become a working principle driving community engagement. We regularly put on events supporting local musicians, makers, and farmers to bring our spaces to life as active gathering points basking in the spotlight of creativity.
You might spot us at neighborhood markets and food fests celebrating local talent and supporting causes important to Cincinnati. On the other hand, lots of charity partnerships reinforce our commitment to promoting local organizations and strengthening community ties through every venture.
