Cincinnati’s Taste of Belgium fights to stay open

Taste of Belgium, a Cincinnati favorite, is keeping its doors open even after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Despite closing eight locations in Ohio and Kentucky over the past two years, the chain is determined to keep serving up waffles and brunch at its three remaining Cincinnati spots. The owner says this move is all about survival—not shutting down. Rising costs, fewer downtown diners, and high delivery app fees have made things tough, but the team insists nothing will change for guests.
