Brunch: Not Just for Sundays at Belga Café This Month
From Belga:
For the entire month of November, chef and owner Bart Vandaele invites guests to sample Belga Café’s famous brunch menu everyday. “Brunch Month,” a tradition that began in 2008, features breakfast favorites as well as a sampling from Belga’s regular lunch menu.
Take a midday break and join Chef Vandaele as he prepares Belgian breakfast dishes such as Mais Wafels, cornbread waffle with poached egg and pulled pork or Groene Eieren, green eggs with fresh herbs, Belgian cheese, spinach, herb pesto, English muffin and bacon. Get into true brunch spirit and indulge with Belga’s Bloody Mary with celery foam or a classic Mimosa. A sampling of popular lunch items including The ‘B’anini, Belga’s Panini with spinach garlic chorizo and cheese, as well as Belga’s famous mussel pots with flavors such as curry, Rodenbach beer, and garlic butter are also available during brunch.
November also signifies the launch of Chef Vandaele’s new winter offerings, complete with redesigned menus in celebration of Belga’s five years on Capitol Hill. Continuing to focus on the use of sustainable and humane products, Chef Vandaele utilizes ingredients such as free-range veal and naturally raised Niman Ranch Pork through the new winter menu.
