After a soft opening today, the official ribbon cutting for Austin Landing’s Taste of Belgium will be Tuesday, July 30th at 11:30am. With 116 seats inside, 30 at the bar and another 60 on the patio, this location is much larger than the one at The Greene. The eatery hired 50 employees, including a management team with experience from TJ Chumps and The Cheesecake Factory. There are even semi private rooms on the north side of the building for groups. This is the 10th location for this chain restaurant, with the majority and Cincinnati and one in Kentucky.
The regional restaurant chain is owned by Jean-François Flechet when he returned from his native Belgium in 2007 with a 120# cast iron waffle maker. His goal was to bring the waffles he cherished as a child to his new home in Cincinnati, Ohio. After refining his recipe, waffle baking began in the back of a produce store at Cincinnati’s historic Findlay Market. The store was crowded with waffle-lovers for weeks and he was asked to find a new home. Taste of Belgium was born. Soon after, the first ToB Bistro opened with traditional (and not-so-traditional) Belgian cuisine serving breakfast, brunch and dinner with Cincinnati’s finest beer lineup.
In 2023, Jean-François was inducted as an honorary knight by the Knighthood of the Belgian Brewers’ Paddle for his efforts in promoting Belgian beer and culture in the United States
