For our sixtieth dinner, we headed back downtown to try out Taste of Belgium.  We had all enjoyed the waffles from the stand at Findlay Market, so we decided to try out their new restaurant.  Overall, it was a pretty good experience.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take notes, so we’ll have to count on the pictures!

For starters, we had a couple of different salads and and order of Moules au Gratin.  In spite of a brilliant effort by our server to save them, the first round of mussels hit the floor when the runner threw off the balance of her tray. The good news is that by the time the backup arrived, we realized itt was worth the wait!

For entrees, we covered most of the bases…Chicken and Waffles, Steak Frites, Waterzooi, Escargot, and Beer Braised Beef Stew.  Everything was good, but nothing wow’d the FWDC crowd.  The hot sauce and maple syrup combo on the chicken and waffles was not as good as expected, but still worth a try.

The highlight of the night was clearly the fries with homemade mayo sauces and the Sour Ale.

We closed the night (as we typically do), by ordering every dessert on the menu.  We probably could have skipped this step!

The other thing you should probably skip is a trip to the ladies room…unless you like double pubes in the sink!
