Interesting, imaginative menu and wonderful service. Our food was fantastic -the fresh tagliatelle pasta with lump crab, meyer lemon and garlic chive butter was superb! And the Belgian beef stew and frites also highly recommended. I need to come back soon for the gin and tonic oysters.

The Belga Cafe delivers an exceptional and complete dining experience, blending genuinely warm hospitality. The entire staff was knowledgeable, and graceful—ensuring the service was impeccably timed from start to finish. While every dish was remarkable, the signature “slow-roasted duck confit. It's not just a meal, but an unforgettable occasion, and we highly recommend

Had a fantastic dinner while waiting on a show. Presentation was fantastic and tasteful. Our food was delicious. The beer selection in particular is expansive and has numerous great choices. We would love to return to Belga for another meal.
