So, I recently took a weekend trip there with my friend, Dawn.And, of course, restaurants were the top thing on my mind!One of the first place that came up as a "must-try" each time I searched was "Taste of Belgium."This waffle restaurant was known for their authentic Belgian waffles:. Each waffle is baked individually in a specialized cast iron press, just like they were centuries ago by master cooks in the city of Liège, Belgium. We have perfected an old family recipe, passed down for generations, to bring you the taste and authenticity of a true Belgian favorite. Unlike other waffles, they are made from thick dough and a coarse Belgian beet sugar that caramelizes inside the waffle iron. The secret to a good waffle is a good waffle iron. We do not make a good waffle, we make the best waffle and our waffle deserved the best waffle iron.
I love everything about this place. I typically order the chicken and waffles which is my favorite item on the menu. The Belgium waffle with syrup baked in is so very good, tastes like a big crazy hug. This time around I wanted to try something different. I ordered their breakfast sandwich. It was to die for, my favorite part about this restaurant uses great quality ingredients that are prepared well.
This restaurant is AMAZING! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, which makes it hard to choose what to order. I always tend to order the savory crepes and waffles; however, my mouth always waters when I see a sweet waffle.
My favorite brunch place. I love when I have out-of-towner visiting because I always take them here.
I drove 4 hours for these waffles..... Let that simmer for a minute. THEYRE THAT GOOD! & I bought 3 bags to take home. You won't be disappointed. That beet sugar makes them!
Yummy and Delicious!!!!. Had the Chicken and Waffle and my daughter had the Waffle Burger. The food is different and SO very tasty. The service was very good. We went on a Sunday and the wait was going to be an hour but we found seats at the bar immediately. The prices are extremely reasonable and the portions are good. It is well worth a visit. I would rate it a 10!!!!!!!!
Waffle perfection. I left Cincinnati, but I will come back. And I will buy several of these waffles to take with me when I leave again. The Waffle N' Chicken and also the McWaffle are just amazing.
Chicken and waffle is awesome!
Well overall experience was good, i probably would not return on my own, unless the wifey insists.
She loved her chicken and waffles, i had the $12.00 goat cheese burger, which was ok...
The was jam packed on a Saturday morning..the waitress was very nice, though had trouble keeping up due to crowd.
I would give it a 5 out of 10, where the wife gives it an 8.
Im much more picky!!!!
Wow! That chicken and waffle was good.
Good but tiny. I'll agree that the waffles are good. But $3.50 for 1 waffle that is about half the size of standard waffles is a bit overpriced. And $12 for 4 tiny waffles to go? Not really worth it at that point in my opinion.
Also, for anyone going there for the first time, keep in mind that this is not the standard waffle that you are used to. It has caramelized sugar on it, it comes it a parchment paper wrap, and you eat it with your hands. No fork, no syrup, no plate. Also, it tastes almost more like a pretzel than the waffles we are used to.
Either way, I still enjoyed it. I doubt I'll get it again but I'm glad I tried it. I'd recommend if you're in the area and looking for a different take on waffles - beyond that I don't really see the reason for the hype.
Amazing service! I was greeted quickly and the food was hot and delicious ❤️ the manager Jackie even took the time to say hello and ask about my day/experience! Always a pleasure to have a warm waffle on a chilly day by an amazing staff! 🥰 keep up the good work!
They heated up the breakfast quiche for me, and it was life changing! I should have bought one to go, huge slice for $6. Also got a delicious muffin and they warmed that up for me. Was super intrigued with the speciality “glazed” waffles- almost got one. They have lots of options in general I believe. For a drink we got coffee. They have numerous locations.
I went with a friend and we each had a crepe. I had the savory and my friend had the traditional. Mine was delicious and had no shortage of warm, yummy goat cheese. We split a strawberry and cream waffle. Also wonderful! The service was as fast as it could be when you are making crepes from scratch. We ate at the little red tables at Findlay Market. It was perfect!

I highly recommend Taste of Belgium at Findlay Market. We host food tours and bring dozens of guest there on a weekly basis. Jacqueline Umberg and the staff are so professional, hardworking and friendly! The locals on the tour even remark about how delicious the waffles taste right out of the waffle maker. Jacqueline and the staff really go the extra mile to give each customer a first class experience!
One of my fav places since day one of ever going to Findlay Market. I love the case full of goodies and don't even get me started on good the waffles are. Friendly people and service.
Jean-Francois Flechet moved from Belgium to US to work on his doctorate. While with a market research company in Cincinnati he started frequenting Findlay Market. A decade ago, he started trying recipes for Belgian Waffles in an attempt to make them taste like those he ate as a child in Belgium, in a stand at Madison's at the market. They were an instant sensation, so in February 2008 he moved to his own stand inside Findlay. Rest is history. Try the waffles with banana and Nutella – our favorite.
I got a variety of macaroons and a bag of waffles, and everything was exquisite!
Had the most decadent, mouth watering dessert here. The Belgian Chocolate Torte is well worth it, and the perfect taste to end your food adventure on.
I paired it with a coffee from Urbana Cafe, and I couldn’t have been happier with the melody of flavors on my tongue.
You’d think that one would go here for some type of waffles. Nope. My son wanted pizza. So what do we get? Pizza. Was I skeptical? Yes. Was it good? Absolutely!!! Friendly staff and great food. Maybe I can finally come for some waffles next time.
I love Taste of Belgium waffles and since the one in Columbus closed, I don't mind trekking to Cincinnati every 2 to 3 months (depending on how fast the family devours them) and stocking up on those delicious waffles. Their food is also scrumptious and have tried 3 of their restaurants and have had bad experiences with fraudulent charges added to any card I use. So no more "sit-down and eat". I only do Findlay Market.. they only make waffles, you pick what flavor waffles you want, cashier bags them, my card never leaves my hand..no waiters/waitresses involved. NEVER have any issues at FINDLAY MARKET.
