Taste of Belgium

You come in for the waffles and leave surprised by the wine list. It's short, but whoever built it wasn't just checking boxes — there's a Muscadet, a Côtes du Rhône rosé, and a Willamette Pinot Noir on a menu that also sells $23 all-you-can-eat mussels. That's a small act of rebellion worth noticing.

The list doesn't try to be everything, and that's actually its strength. You've got a Merci Muscadet from Sèvre et Maine sitting next to a Château Les Terrasses Bordeaux blend and a Straight Shooter Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley — that's real range for a casual Belgian brasserie. The Enfant Terrible Rosé from Côtes du Rhône adds a French through-line that makes sense with the food. Gaps exist — no sparkling beyond the Ca'Furlan Prosecco, no whites from Alsace which would be an obvious slam dunk given the cuisine — but what's here is curated, not lazy.

Ten-plus options by the glass in this price range is genuinely impressive, and the $9–$12.50 ceiling means you can try two or three without doing mental math all night. Rotation isn't confirmed, but the selection as-is covers enough ground — bubbles, white, rosé, red — that most tables will find something that clicks.
