 at Belgian is the name of the new restaurant, as opposed to the Mocca that was originally planned to be. Also worth noting is that it won’t be in the hands of Chef Greg Couillard, as it was also reported (on this page).
This space near John and Adelaide was to be Couillard’s "sexed-up" Afrrican-French fusion signature eatery. Alas, he has abandoned the Mocca project and this new concept while Fat Belgian has moved on in and will be serving up authentic beers and foods from Belgium. Scene is decidedly no frills and no attitude. - S.W. |

should have made a reservation so we could have had a window seat, and a little loud on our floor due to a large party - but the food and service was exceptional. look forward to a return visit.

Probably one of the most undesireable restaurants in the city. I had expected better.

We decided to go back last night to celebrate our friend becoming a surgeon. We were a table of 12 that came in for a quick drink and some munchies. We ordered our drinks from a very standoffish server. One in our party ordered a chocolate martini($11.00) that was TINY and not worth the price tag. We asked to send it back and all hell broke loose. Our server was rude and indignant. From there on in the night went down hill. Our celebration turned into a confrontation with management when the server lied and sad the section was closing (10:25 on a Saturday night) because she wanted to settle a score with our party due to the returned drink and us calling her on her poor service. She told management some of the people in our party were intoxicated. We didn't find this out until we were leaving. We asked management to explain their position on continuing to serve other tables and not ours. They explained the intoxication allegations and we asked them to point out which one of us was drunk. Of course they couldn't. As it was a boldfaced lie. It soon came to the management's attention that we were in fact NOT intoxicated and that we were the ones that had been wronged NOT their rude server.
All in all a bad experience and I would never step foot in their establishment again.

Went 3 times in our visit in early June this year. Excellent food and good beer. We would recommend it to anyone. Sit outside on warm summer night.

Seated upstairs overlooking the patio - windows open to hear sounds and voices of hustle & bustle added to atmosphere. Service was friendly & quick, but did not make us feel rushed. Food is great. Ambiance perfect. Clean and inviting. A definite "to repeat often" experience.
See you soon!

This place doesn't just serve great food. The bartender was way above average for the 'entertainment district.'
Makes me remember the times when it wasn't all about making a tip, but about engaging the customer and enjoying the work you do. The bar is underrated - don't just go there to eat. It's a great place to bring co-workers or clients for great discussion and service.
Great job!

My friends recently brought me out to a new restaurant they've been raving about. The Fat Belgian. I thought they might be hyping it up too much, but as I found out, the praise was well deserved. I had the porterhouse steak and mussels. Both were excellent. And the service was good too. The menu leans toward meat and other rich food, so if that sounds good to you, I definitely recommend you check it out!

The duck melted in my mouth and the lamb duo is amazing. I have been several times and take a different set of friends everytime. I highly recommend the Fat Belgian.

The duck confit at the Fat Belgian is way too salty. The sweet potato fries are overcooked. Overall, it is not worth revisiting.
