Our group of 4 could not have been more delighted with the dinner or evening @Belga Cafe. The chef was helping people navigate over the ice when we arrived, the manager welcomed us at the door and offered options for seating and our waitress was simply wonderful!!! We enjoyed mussels and a baguette as an appetizer- mussels come with Belgian fries - which were delicious - but the bread dipped in the sauce was a perfect addition. Highly recommend Belgian mussels, Salmon, Beef stew and Steak Tartar. Fabulous service, food and wine made the evening so special!!!

Went here for brunch with a few friends on their recommendation and it was very delicious. It is a true Belgian cafe with a full waffle menu! I got the Fresh and Simple waffle which was LOADED with fruit and absolutely delicious. I got a side of eggs as well. My friends got interesting items, including the baguette which came with some wonderful butters. If you are in Eastern Market, stop in for breakfast foods! You will not be disappointed.

Had a light brunch? We both only ordered one dish. And the total came out to be $50 quite high, but understandable for area. The skillet I ordered was quite nice, with the meat, sauce, eggs and potatoes meshing quite well. However, the fruit waffle was not only quite small, but it felt a bit insulting for the price. I understand the fruits may be somewhat exotic for the US consumer? But I would hardly think that figs, mango and melons would justify $20 for a single waffle. Bit dissatisfied, but we also didn't try much of the menu. 6/10

Everything is great! The dishes and coffee were super delicious! Great atmosphere and great food here. We definitely will back and try more other dishes.

Menu calls the steak tartare the best in DC, and I don’t disagree. Great menu variety for food and drinks. Fun seat at the bar, will be back.
