   The food was pretty good but in my head I thought it would be excellent so I was a bit disappointed. Very cute place and lovely staff. The drinks were quite good

   I’ve been going to Belga Cafe for over 10 years and it is my favorite place for brunch! They have an amazing array of dishes that you really can’t get anywhere else. Get the Green Eggs!! The atmosphere is warm and friendly thanks to the owner, Bart and an amazing staff. Dinner at Belga is wonderful as well, of course.

    Another amazing meal at Belga Special soft shell crabs were perfect - went big and had those for a main and the delicious scallop risotto as an appetizer (you can have it as a main). The duck was amazing - a summer twist (rhubarb) - shows that Bart embraces the seasons. Our server, Omar, was not only delightful and knowledgeable about all the dishes, but also made excellent wine recommendations, and without prompting, told us about the significant price differential between two wines we sampled. FWIW, went with the spendier glass 😎.

    Great food as usual. Servers were a bit inconsistent- didn’t follow up on the second round of drinks and the drinks didn’t arrive until we were almost done with our meal! The prices for the entrees and wine by the glass are a bit steep.

    Belga is consistently good. It’s our go to place on the Hill. Their soft shell crabs are the best we’ve ever had. Service and staff are top notch! Its been around for a long time and has maintained their quality, thanks to chef Bart, all these years. He is constantly innovating and exploring new recipes which makes it fun for the consumer!

    Longtime Barracks row standout. You can count on it for the dependable Belgian "classics" (i.e., mussels mariniere) but always something new worth trying as well; last night it was the "chevre creme brulee" savory appetizer which was AMAZING.

    The food is outstanding. My friend and I came for brunch - I ordered the Liege waffle with red-wine infused pears. Amazing!!! She ordered the crispy egg on mushroom toast. Also amazing!!! They have an interesting beverage menu - alcohol, non-alcohol and coffee drinks, and the rest of the menu looks fabulous. At least for brunch, be sure to make a reservation as they were incredibly busy. We chose to sit at Betsy, Chef's new rooftop venue (same menu) and it was a little crowded. Still 5 Stars!!!

    We enjoyed Betsy's G&T that were quite freshing and tasty on a humid DC evening. The halibut (Heilgot met romanesco) was superb, as was, as always, the steak frites. Always love coming here. The staff is so welcoming and attentive.

    We came for Brunch after a 10k. One member of our party arrived early, but they wouldn’t seat him until we all got there. He let them know we were walking up the block, but they had him wait. I get that is some restaurants policy, but it wasn’t stated on the website when I made the reservation. Just that we had a 10 minute window to arrive. He arrived at 11:50 for a 12 pm reservation. The rest of our party arrived at 12:05. In the time it took us to get there, they seated two of the empty outside tables. When I got there to get our table I was asked if I wanted inside or outside. I was confused because I booked an outdoor table on their front patio. I was told they had no tables expect for one in full sunlight if we wanted it. I’m guessing they didn’t want to seat people there since there was no umbrella over it. We opted to go inside since they had another table. Again, it was a weird interaction because we had booked an outdoor table and they had given them all away even though someone in our party was there. Once inside, we had a waitress come over and take our drink orders. She didn’t write anything down and didn’t respond when we told her what we wanted. She left the table and a few minutes later another waiter came over to take our order again. We think she may have been training as we didn’t see her again except when she filled up water. Our waiter was very nice. Our food and drink were good. It was a somewhat chaotic day, which is normal for a weekend brunch. We just had some weird interactions with the staff, and with the price of the food, I don’t think we’ll go back.

    My friend and I had a nice time at Belga Cafe. The drinks were interesting and we tried the green eggs and some of the waffles. I think we would go again but try to pick a less crowded time, we couldn’t be seated until our whole party was there so we ended up having to go through the alley and upstairs to Betsy.

    I went for a nice Mother’s Day brunch and the hostess and waiter were very rude. I had a reservation for outside, but it was cold. I was told I couldn’t sit inside, yet when I went in there were many empty tables they were no longer seating (the kitchen was closing soon). We asked for heat lamps, but there were none. We were rudely told the kitchen was closing soon and rushed along. So much for a nice and relaxing Mother’s Day with my daughters. We were all shocked by the level of rudeness. I don’t care if i was there at the end of someone’s shift, it was my time to celebrate with my children and Belga Cafe made it a terrible experience. I’m never going there nor recommending it to anyone.

    Went for Mother's Day brunch mid-afternoon. Even though it was packed, the noise level was not bad, service was excellent - everyone was attentive, both the woman handling seating and the owner himself came by to check on us, as they were doing for other tables, as well as the waitress. Menus came quickly, drinks came quickly, lunch was perfect. All was great. It is a fantastic place that we love. Five stars!

    We visited from the west coast and took my Mom for Mother’s Day brunch, based on previous reviews. Food (1 burger, 1 strawberry waffle, 1 breakfast plate, and 1 mushroom toast) was outstanding. Service was friendly and FAST, even on an exceptionally busy day. Two thumbs up! (Take an Uber or walk there - finding parking was difficult on a Sunday).
