The best Belgian food in the United States, according to the experts: AAA and Eater have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Taste of Belgium - Rookwood comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Cincinnati and Houston.
More Less
Taxman Brewing Cityway Gastropub and Belga Cafe/The Betsy hold the next two places. Eater shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with AAA next.
-
Rank 1. Taste of Belgium - Rookwood
Belgian Bistro
A Belgian bistro that takes the waffle seriously enough to turn it into a vehicle for a Hot Brown, which is either inspired or unsettling depending on your feelings about Kentucky. Waffles and galettes anchor the menu alongside steak frites and mussels, with an open kitchen and hardwood floors giving the room a casual, neighborhood feel. The s'mores waffle exists, and that seems like information worth having.

Rank 2. Taxman Brewing Cityway Gastropub
Belgian Gastropub
The ales are named after tax terms, which is either the best brewing pun or the most on-brand origin story you'll ever hear. This gastropub a few blocks from Lucas Oil Stadium pours Belgian-style beers alongside a menu built on Indiana-grown meat and produce. The kitchen leans hearty, think brisket croquettes and beer-battered pork tenderloin with Belgian fries. The cocktail list takes itself only slightly more seriously than the beer names do.
