    Fabulous place that begins with conversation of names and descriptions of unique menu options. Many creative dishes that we have set as a tasty adventure. Too place for brunch on weekends!

    Excellent service, first rate food. The goat cheese salad was a great start. The branzino was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The coq au van was uniquely flavorful. This was our third visit to Belga, and it never disappoints.

    Great service, beer and mussels. The onion soup. Was a delicious way to start a meal on a cold night.

    We love Belga-- it's one of our favorite neighborhood spots, and where we've gone for important dinners in our life! Chef Bart and the team are so welcoming and the food is always good, as is the service. Belga has become our comfort spot, and we love both their regular menu and their special menus (we've celebrated our last three Valentine's Days with them and loved each one). Whether you're looking for a low key date night or a special occasion, definitely recommend checking out this great spot.

    Lots of great options for brunch or lunch. Waffles a must, whether it’s the fresh fruit one or the original Liège version. My go to anytime I fly into D.C.
