The food was wonderful. The service was exceptional. Great selection of both food and drink. And as someone who just got back from Europe, the Belgian theme and flavor was all spot on.

I've eaten at Belga many times but not recently. I really like the clean-lined refresh they did to the interior which now compliments the excellent food coming out of the kitchen. We were there for a business lunch and the atmospherics were perfect...lively acoustically but still able to talk easily without being overheard. Our waiter was a little over zealous but read the room after a while and pulled back. I live and work on the Hill and love this institution. Wouldn't mind a few more all-veg options.

An excellent experience! The beer was well crafted, as was the food. The burger I ordered was prepared exactly as requested and I really enjoyed the poutine tots. Service was excellent and fast. If you like a good brew pub experience, go to Bluejackets.
