Everything was outstanding - from the appetizer to the dessert. I had the Brie stuffed with truffles and mascarpone, the braised pork belly and the rice tart. It was my birthday so they served me some sparkling wine, too. Service was excellent. So glad to have this gem in my neighborhood.

Belga Cafe is a "neighborhood gem" and our go-to restaurant for just about anything. This occasion was New Year's Eve, and in addition to the wonderful everyday dinner menu, Chef Bart had some specials including a foie gras appetizer trio and a pheasant entree. Always a delightful experience, and authentically Belgian!

Great neighborhood restaurant which has gone upscale in their food offerings. If you want a Belgian mussel bar this is your place. Opt for the bar seats or outdoor tables if you are looking for a light option.
