Taste of Belgium began as a waffle stand at Findlay Market in 2007 before expanding into a restaurant chain known for its Belgian cuisine.
“This is not about closing restaurants. It is about keeping them open,” Flechet said.
Flechet cited several challenges contributing to the restaurant’s financial difficulties, including the lasting effects of the pandemic, shifts in dining habits, rising inflation and changes in foot traffic downtown.
The chain currently operates three locations at Rookwood, The Banks, and Findlay Market.
