Cafe Benelux is a great restaurant to visit when exploring Milwaukee. The food was exceptional and there were many options. I recommend the garlic bread appetizer. The service was okay. The restaurant was very busy and I think this led to servers being pulled in different directions. The atmosphere was awesome. There were multiple levels to the building. The roof was very cool as it overlooked the city. The lower levels have interesting art and decor that adds to the ambiance. In all, I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you are in the Third Ward area!

We went here because my hubby loves Belgium beer. Wow so they have an impressive selection. Their food is also impressive. The restaurant is very pretty. They have a big bar and lots of tables. I love how they have electric plug ins at each table and by the bar seats. I got a peach Bellini it was okay. The creamy mushroom and onion soup was amazing. We also got their meatloaf and jalapeno grilled cheese. It all was great. The carrot cake was also good. They have a lot of outdoor seating. We will definitely be back.

On Sunday, two girlfriends, a toddler, and I had a nice girls’ brunch at Café Benelux! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and our waitress was friendly, attentive, and quick with service—which we especially appreciated. I ordered the Mushroom Hash that came with crispy cheddar hash browns and spiced avocado, and the flavors were incredible! I cleared my plate. Would definitely come back for brunch again!

This place is amazing! Great service, and the server provided excellent recommendations on the menu and drinks. They have a great selection of draft beers and food. I tried a couple of different draft beers(High speed wit & High Pilsner), and they all tasted really good. I’d love to come back and try more beers. Our family ordered a variety of dishes, and everyone enjoyed their food. The Pedal Pusher Burger, in particular, was perfect.

Good food, friendly service. 53 beers on tap. Separate gluten-free menu. Husband had Bangkok Burger, and it was flat and just had 2 small pieces of bacon. Tasty sauce, but he would not order again. My chicken cobb salad was good. Son had tuna and said it was cooked perfectly.

Came here for Brunch on a Sunday, recommend a reservation as it gets packed. Love the atmosphere and decor. Great food and drink selections. Cocktails were delicious and especially the bloody Mary's! Highly recommend this place. Great location but parking can be a challenge so come early.

This is a popular place and we enjoyed our luncheon on the patio. My watermelon salad was delicious. My husband ordered the blt with a crab cake. The crab cake had little crab and too much bread. Dessert was tasty. Our waitress, Chelsea, was quick and attentive.

two had the turkey pesto sandwich and they both loved it. I had the Florentine Benedict and it was meh and confusing. basil pesto, smashed avocado, roasted tomatoes, braised spinach and hollandaise sauce all sounded great but mix them all together and it didn’t work. Atmosphere and service top notch. Overall a good experience had by all. Next time I’ll get a sandwich.

Whoever oversees this location seriously needs to learn how to do their job. I came to this location for my birthday with some friends and the experience, we had definitely damper on our evening and was very underwhelming. The only positive aspect of this experience was our server Bella and the host that initially seated me. They were all super kind and did their best to make me and my party as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, there were so many logistical things that were a little concerning. First, the floors leading to the restroom and in front of the kitchen were extremely greasy and slick, and there were multiple people who had almost slipped and fell on their way to and from the bathroom. Seems like it is super hazardous work environment for people that are running in and out of the kitchen to run food. There was absolutely no ventilation in the bathroom which was very suffocating with the heat and the floors were also soaking wet. There were no wet floor signs up AT ALL also!!! In addition to that, when someone was walking out of the kitchen door, there were DOZENS of plates of food just sitting in there, which I assumed were people's food orders. Which made a lot of sense because the wait for our food was extremely long. There was a guy in a rainbow hat who came to retrieve some of our dishes who was extremely passive aggressive. He immediately made us feel super uncomfortable and unwanted. The rest of our evening was put off from that interaction, which is incredibly frustrating. Not to mention the extreme heat we encountered during our meal. It made it very difficult to enjoy our food as we were frequently fanning ourselves. It makes me feel super concerned for the staff members who have to work in these conditions for long shifts. It seems as if management has major concerns they need to address, yet they are just brushing them under the rug. I just want to reiterate how AMAZING our server, Bella, was. I truly have not had such a grand experience at this establishment prior and I'm so grateful that she was able to assist us tonight.

This is our go to restaurant when we are in Milwaukee. The food is fantastic and the bloody Mary's are even better. The staff is great and they have a wide selection of beers from around the world and most are on tap! My go to meal these days is the burger paired with the Holland IPA. If we do end up there for brunch, I go with the belt & a which is bacon, lettuce, tomato, egg and avocado. As far as seating they have two levels. You can sit in the main dining area, the bar, out on the first floor patio or the second floor roof patio.

Our waiter was great, but the hosts were terrible. We had a long day and were overheated. We asked if there was a roof top table in the shade. They told us that the sun would be down soon (it was Not). They walked us past 5 tables in the shade with fans, then sat us in the sun: If there had been nothing in the shade, fine we would have sat inside. Disregarding us was rude. We overheated and only ordered an appetizer before having to leave. We did tip our waiter well, he was great. This is one of the few negative reviews I have ever given, I even waited a full day to see if I was overreacting last night. I don't think I was. We had a long conversation about the type of table we wanted. And we would've been happy to sit inside if we could've not had shade. The second star is for the waiter...

I wanna start this review off on a positive note and say that the food here was absolutely delicious. The chicken Cobb salad was the best salad I've ever had. I can't actually even remember what the rest of my food tasted like because the salad was so good. The drinks were OK at best. The decor in the restaurant was cute, but the vibes were off. That was probably because the service was so terrible. I walked in and saw him. Nice restaurant looked and expected so much more. We had a reservation, but our table was not ready when we got there. Almost every order at our table was wrong. When we wanted to get our food corrected, all of the servers had a bad attitude except for our main waitress. I was blown away by how terrible their customer service. Two people in our party waited over an hour and 20 mins to get their food and when they received it was wrong. The restaurant had to be promoted to give it to them for free. Unacceptable. The person we were celebrating had food allergies and called ahead to be sure she could eat something other than salad with her allergies, they named options over the phone. When at the restaurant, they told her the only thing safe was salad. The only reason I gave two stars was the sweet waitress that was trying to make up for everyone else's attitudes and the amazing salad.

Been here a couple of times before, but this was the first time for breakfast. Benelux is part of the Lowland Group that owns several other restaurants including, Cafe Hollander, Cafe Centraal, Buckabaton. They are all unique, but feel similar in many ways. Benelux is in the heart of the Third Ward, kitty corner from the Milwaukee Market. It's a big place, that doesnt necessary feel that way. They have seating on the sidewalks, inside, and on the roof balcony. Lots of spots with different points of interest. Got here on a Saturday morning, 10am and they were already filling up. Wanted something a bit more quiet so took a spot on the rooftop. Not much shade in some spots, so bring sunscreen. We had a nice view of the streets below. Got served with menu and waters. Our server did a great job the entire time (thanks Haley). Ordered a Chai Latte (extra foam) and the Hibiscus Yogurt Fruit Bowl. The chai was very good, made right and served in a china cup. The yogurt came out a little later, and that was fresh, flavorful, and good portion. The other folks were equally pleased to. It was a very good experience (as it usually is). A dependable choice for a meal downtown.

Visited Café Benelux for Sunday Brunch around 1:30! This place seems to always be busy with its fun rooftop, cool interior, and front patio seating. I would highly recommend making a reservation if you want to sit on the rooftop as there was a much longer wait for up there. We did have to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table but noticed many open tables upon arrival. Once sat, we ordered a round of drinks and our food to still meet the 2pm brunch menu cut off. My friend got the Pineapple Passion Mule which was perfect for a sunny, patio day! I ordered the BELT & A Sandwich which the kitchen forgot to add the bacon! Our server was very surprised and immediately went to fetch me a side to add. There wasn't much given but it was cooked how I requested it. My friend got the Turkey Pesto which was a huge portion and tasted good. Since it was a busy day, we weren't forced to leave but kindly made gestures to turn over the table as we sat. Either way, the food was good and I'd love to come back to see the rooftop!

My wedding weekend was here & my Groomsmen & my dad wanted a great brunch near the hotel in 3rd Ward. Knew Cafe Benelux was on my top 3 choice. The guys all loved it. I got the Sausage Quiche & it was phenomenal for a lighter fare bc I had a light breakfast 2hrs before. My one friend got a chicken sandwich & he loved it so much he came the next morning. My groomsmen loved the Bloody Mary's. I then came back with my then wife the next morning for lunch after the wedding. Loved it again. I got the Hodge Podge & boy was it filling & delicious. While I don't get Hangovers, this meal would have been ideal for any of my guests who did have one. My wife got the Salmon Smoked Sammy & it was great & light. This place will have a special spot in my heart. Last meal before marriage & first restaurant meal after marriage. Both 5*

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this restaurant. We came here for Saturday brunch. I was scared there would be long wait times but we got seated really quickly, outside and had a table in the shade. We ordered the Nashville chicken and waffle along with French toast and literally both were so delicious. We live in chicago and I would drive up just to eat here. Anyways would recommend, super chill spot to grab some delicious food!

What a lovely spot! Stopped here before attending summerfest - a beautiful location in the Third Ward! Seated immediately, friendly service throughout the visit. Tried the cheese curds for an appetizer with the Sumac Salmon as an entree - I can honestly say this is the best salmon dish I've had! Paired with a delicious Sauvignon Blanc. Cooked to perfection with tasty sides, seasoned well. Looking for an excuse to return!

Man I love this place and miss coming. Been about two years since I was here last and it delivered just like the first time. Great ambiance sitting on the street with the outside summer vibe, solid beer, and of course great food. Mussels were top notch and green beans were swimming in butter...yum! Coworker loved the meatloaf. It was covered in bacon and gravy if that is your style. Burrata was an odd but good one. Usually the cheese is the star but here this spicy tomato jam thing took it to another level. Absolutely outstanding! Hopefully it won't be another two years until I'm back in the city!

I have been a regular visitor to this establishment, as well as to Café Hollander and Café Centraal, and have always enjoyed my experiences. However, tonight was truly disappointing. I was charged $27 for a single tequila shot, despite the fact that the entire bottle costs around $40. I even politely asked the bartender if there had been a mistake, but she confirmed that this was the standard price. Unfortunately, this experience has left me very disappointed, and as a result, I will no longer be including this place on my list of regular spots. I didn't leave any tip and that was intentional, cuz of the crappy price and service the bartender gave me tonight.

Friendly service, nice big rooftop terrace, impressive Belgian beer list, and an absolutely fantastic burger. I appreciated that the kids meals came with both fruit and veggie sticks. The one thing I wouldn't order again was the tuna tartare tostadas. The tuna wasn't super fresh, and covered in mayo.

Cute spot and love that they have a patio. Food is good - nothing out of this world but solid! They have an amazing selection of beer - great place to stop into if you're looking for rare beer finds and an extensive drink list in general. Our waitress was so nice and fun! As the weather starts to get nicer, I definitely recommend stopping in here to enjoy!

Food was decent. Nothing to write home about. But the wait was very difficult to stomach. Brunch on a Sunday is most certainly their busiest time, so be prepared to wait over an hour for food. Not from the area, but I can't really recommend it to anyone, local or not.

We went here for a weekday dinner with a large group and ordered buffet style from their menu. We got their seafood platter with crab dip, tuna tartare, shrimp remoulade, smoked salmon, some crunchy veggies and crackers. It was very good. The dips had different flavors and seemed freshly made. As an entree, we had the sumac salmon with the chickpea pilaf. It was well cooked and a hearty meal! My drink of choice was a pineapple passion mule and it was great. It had a kick of ginger and the sweet-sour combination of pineapple and passion fruit, great flavor profile. Service was good, a little spotty at times. The ambiance is quite nice, a cross between a sports bar and a nice dinner place. Worth a one time visit if you're in the area. They also have nice outdoor seating with heat for chilly days!

We went to Cafe Benelux for a late lunch/early dinner ahead of the Nutcracker showing this past Sunday and had such a great experience! For starters, we had a reservation snafu that was wonderfully rectified...I had called a couple weeks ahead to make a reservation for 10 at 4PM, but called back immediately after to adjust to 3:30. I thought all was well, but when we showed up for our reservation we learned the staff member that helped had only canceled and did not reschedule. The hostess, Mel, took quick action and went above and beyond to accommodate our large group on the rooftop space that was supposed to be closed. So, we got to have a private dining experience in a beautifully decorated space that wasn't as loud and our family could mingle & talk - it was perfect! Thank you, Mel :). Our server, I cannot remember his first name but his last name was Lens, was quirky & funny and we really enjoyed him. We got a couple of frites cones for the table which never disappoint, the holiday sangria was DELICIOUS and I shared the cuban sandwich and chicken bacon sandwich with my sister. Both were so tasty & the benelux salad on the side is my fav. Benelux does such a nice job decorating for the holidays and they really pulled through amidst a mixup to give us a great dining experience. Thanks!

I can't believe I hadn't left a review for Cafe Benelux before! But this is a great opportunity as I was delighted to see more vegetarian options (some can be made vegan by skipping the cheese) and the brunch menu looks very appetizing. I went with a more usual order for me and that is the walnut smashburger. I ordered it without cheese but there is a Violife plant based cheese option for fifty cents extra. It's a hearty portion (the last couple of times it has had two patties) so make sure you are hungry! Their heated walkway is fabulous for outside dining in winter.

I personally won't be returning, the food was okay, the salted Carmel cheesecake was actually very good. My issue was I ordered, and pointed to the N/A Bev of the peach bilini, as I am of legal age to drink and not pregnant. but I am 2 years sober and to see that server gave me the alcoholic version was very disappointing. (And calling to confirm in fact that's what I had on my bill) Definitely should be more mindful and knowledgeable of the correct menu items.

Such a cute spot in the perfect third ward location! We were able to get a table for brunch and I HIGHLY recommend the bloody Mary's! It was my first bloody Mary ever and I actually was happily surprised!:) The service was great! Definitely a Milwaukee staple.

I have been seeing Cafe Benelux on TikTok and all over social media as it has been popular place in MKE to be. I was very excited and was in town so me and friend went. Host: Very accommodating, nice pleasant smile and sat us right away. Ambiance: Very beautiful European setting with a rooftop that's a hit. Love love love the blg set up. Food: Was good! Drinks: Was very good as well. Service: Unfortunately, it was okay. We had to ask for waters and we didn't felt the service from our 20% tip. We over see other servers who were very accommodating and hospitable to their tables. I also slip by the server station before the restroom and inform a server and just said "okay". Did not see anyone wipe it up and was still there till we left. Hope no one slip after me :( Over all could've been great! Would still recommend this place though!

Busy spot! We were in town for the weekend and found the cafe on the way to another restaurant. We liked the menu and ate there instead! A lot of seating, including outside. Service was great- prompt and professional. The food was good- new American-ish style. A lot on the menu. The drinks were tasty! A piña colado and a beer- so nothing too fancy. They have a lot of specialty drinks and cocktails though. I'd love to go back if I'm ever in the area again.

Food is extremely good and the staff takes care of you. One of the servers accidentally spilt coffee on me but the GM came out and was very proactive and responsive. Their carrot cake is also extremely good! And it is a very fun summer/fall spot that I love to go back to for the roof top terrace seating. Definitely come back once a month or so

We were in town for a college tour and decided to stay the night in Milwaukee. Someone at the school recommended this restaurant, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip. Our server, Alexis, absolutely made our evening! She took such good care of us, checked on us regularly, kept us smiling, and chatted with us about various items on the menu. I'm so glad she suggested I try the eggplant (it was called Balkan Eggplant Schnitzel), because I loved this dish. My daughter really liked her fish, and the carrot cake was unlike anything we'd had before - it was dense and moist with fluffy frosting and a decadent caramel sauce. We took half of it home to have our coffee in the morning. Alexis also told us to check out the market across the street after dinner and it was great. Thanks for a wonderful experience, Cafe Benelux!

Love the domes to eat in. Food was good, experience was great. I highly recommend eating in the Lux Domes, I only advise is to show up on time because they're very strict on the timing of the Lux Dome reservation.

I am mad the food was good, because the service was not. We were there on a Saturday morning, so we definitely expected it to be busy and we weren't in a rush. However, we were one of the first tables to be seated in our area and the last to get our food. We were there for three hours. When our server did come over, she would say, "your food will be out shortly" and then we still waited another hour. It was just a rough experience - even to reorder drinks. However, the food itself was great. I really enjoyed my dutch pancake with apples and pears. And we loved their cocktail options - our one friend who loves Bloody Marys loved trying different varieties. Although, we did have one friend with us allergic to sesame; she ordered a plate and sesame was not mentioned in the ingredient list - but she got her plate, only for it to be covered in sesame. Common allergens should definitely be listed on the ingredient lists or descriptions! Thankfully, they remade her plate immediately - but after already waiting almost two hours for food, it was a bit rough.

Cafe Benelux is a classic Third Ward restaurant to visit if you haven't been already. I'm partial to Lowlands group restaurants (including Cafe Benelux, Cafe Hollander, Buckatabon, Centraal) and Benelux is no exception. I was surprised to have been able to walk in on a Sunday during brunch without a reservation, and get a spot on the rooftop with no wait time! I ordered the mushroom hash, which has cheese-stuffed hashbrowns (yum), mushrooms, broccoli, braised spinach, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, a mojo verde sauce and a sunny side up egg on top. Can't go to Benelux without ordering a bloody. I tried the Malone and it didn't disappoint with jalapeno, habanero and sriracha-infused vodka!

Amazing experience, incredible place, great service and delicious food/beer. We brought our dog and everyone was super friendly and accommodating. Came for a weekend brunch and started with a couple Belgian beers. Beer menu is incredible; it's my favorite style of beer and they had some options I'd never even heard of. Opted for a couple local options and both were delicious - a quad and a tripel from some Wisconsin breweries and they were delicious. Also sampled a pair of limited distribution imported beers and they were really good as well. I got the short rib hash while my wife and friend got Pannekoeken, basically danish crepes with ham and cheese and they were super flavorful, nice and light too. Everything was really flavorful and the short rib hash was ample enough for two meals with plenty of each ingredient. Next time I'm in Wisconsin, will definitely return

Made a reservation and got to a table fairly quickly-- they hadn't cleaned it yet and then seated us at a totally wet table. Our waitress was fine until we actually needed her and she blamed things on the kitchen-- however, not having silverware or napkins or other items requested was not the fault of the kitchen. Food was good-- but very salty...seems more like bar food when menu was extensive and promoted as a dining experience. Celebrating a bday and nothing was mentioned-- even after putting it in the reservation-- very disappointing!

First off this was new restaurant of the week and it's an amazing place and done very well with the street patio, inside space/bar and upstairs patio area. At first opening service s#cked on a Sunday morning because my server was MIA . I I ordered the Bloody Mary spicy and the hodgepodge breakfast plate. The Bloody Mary was weak and not spicy. The hodgepodge plate was actually tasty but very oily with bland sausage slivers and bacon scraps. The potatoes seemed like baby reds in melted cheese on a pool of oil, the concept was amazing but the execution was a failure. All in all it's a very nice place but the food and drinks are mediocre

Amazing for a group!! Our server was SO efficient and kind. Food was out quickly and was delicious. They were very comfortable with dietary restrictions and knowledgeable. Our server even offered to split out checks for each member of our party and did so super quickly! They answered their phone to let us know availability. Overall such a well-run place.

Had dinner here with a friend recently. Drinks came quickly and were potent and reasaonably priced. We tried the tuna tartare tostados. They were very good. Nicely presented with just a touch of heat to them. Friend had the eggplant which he liked. I had the meatloaf which was good comfort food. Service was kind of spotty. Water glasses remained unfilled and we got our check without even being asked if we wanted dessert. My friend was up for it so we each ordered carrot cake. I'm a big carrot cake fan, but this was really not good. Drenched in carmel, it was gloppy and way too sweet for my taste.

We had an unfortunate experience at Cafe Benelux this last weekend for brunch. Our server barely greeted us and was just doing the bare minimum. She checked in a few times, but drinks sat empty for a while. Cocktails were okay overall. Our menu had been taken away, so we asked a staff member walking by who didn't make any eye contact with me and muttered "mhm" under her breath and then threw the menu down on the table and walked away. It was very odd because I have always had positive experiences with staff previously. We had the salmon sandwich and Benedict which were good, but under seasoned. Breakfast potatoes were barely cooked at all. Chicken and waffles was very good. We were able to sit up on the rooftop which is always very nice.

The vibe on the rooftop was impeccable. Such a cool and eclectic place. Definitely the place to be. The cocktails were subpar. Ordered and old fashioned and it was so bad. Seemed like they made it with grenadine and club soda. Couldn't finish it. The food was pretty good. We got the Boursin burger (10/10) and the crab cake BLT (6/10). BLT was weird, very heavy on the breading. Overall, a good spot to enjoy the city. Stick to beer and wine.

Easily the best place I ate in while in Milwaukee! The hodge podge was beyond delicious, the flavors paired so well together. I'm not a fan of runny eggs but I sure did eat all of this one. Not only was our food good but we left feeling FULL and our wallets only a smidge lighter. This place isn't cheap by any standards but I think the value vs food we got was really good. Our server was attentive and made sure we had drinks ordered etc. I would highly recommend this place for their food alone. I know some prefer their atmosphere but the food is up to par

I go to MIAD and lived in the dorms right off Broadway for 2 years. I've been meaning to try Café Benelux, but only just now got around to it this weekend. This place is great! The atmosphere is really nice, my friend and I were lucky enough to be seated on the rooftop which was gorgeous. For my drink, I ordered a hot cocoa since it was just a bit chilly outside. It was really nice! It came with some whipped cream on the top. The cocoa itself tasted like it had some cinnamon in it which was really nice! For an appetizer we got the pull-apart cheese bread, which was surprising but amazing. I loved the butter that came with it as well as the sweet and spicy peppers and arugula. It was more refreshing than typical cheese bread and I appreciated that. Then, for my meal, I got the walnut smashburger. I'm vegetarian so I'm always looking for new non-meat burgers/patties to try, so I knew I had to get this. The burger came with sharp cheddar, red onion, vegan aioli, avocado, and tomato on a pretzel bun. I was really excited but the burger was kind of bland :( I even added some mayo and salt onto the burger and it was still just very bland. Maybe that's just how the walnut burger is, if I come back here I think I'll try a different burger and sub in an impossible burger. The fries on the side were really amazing though. Our waitress (I forgot her name unfortunately) was super kind! Overall I had a really good time and would totally recommend people to go here. The only downside for me was the blandness of my burger but really everything else made up for it. Also, my friend and I are graphic designers, and the menu was designed very well :)

Cafe Benelux is the go to restaurant when in Milwaukee. The food is delicious and the menu offerings are varied. The salads on the menu all looked so good that I couldn't make a decision. Our amazing server, Bea helped guide me to the perfect selection. Wil definitely be back!

Great drink menu and good apps! Always a good choice to take people out of town. We split the pull apart cheese bread and the tater tots. The food is very heavy so come hungry. Th bread had a great herbed butter and the tater tots melted in your mouth like croquettes. Attentive service and lively environment.

Nothing beats summer brunch at Cafe Benelux. The new remodel is stunning! Love walking right up to the bar for service or if you need a table, the wait is surprisingly short. This establishment was great before, but even better now. Plus love the changes to the menu! Can't go wrong with the variety of Bloody Mary's that they have to offer. My favorite was the Malone, very spicy but hits the spot! Also highly recommend the calamari or mussels. So refreshing and delicious. Definitely stop in!!!

Absolutely fantastic food, friendly service, cozy sheek ambience. I ate there twice while in Milwaukee (once for dinner and once for breakfast.) Loved it all and I will be back!

Haven't dined at Cafe Benelux in a forever. Sunday brunch for two on rooftop went nice. Nibbled on the "Bae Toast". It is piled with avocado, eggs my way and sprinkled petit salad. MKE Staycation and a few cocktails paired well with the afternoon.

Sat on the roof top- and 10/10 was a great experience sitting under the sun overlooking 3rd ward mke. The waitress was kind but didn't stop by often and never even asked if I'd like a refill on soda. The salad had many layers of flavors. The sandwich was very bland, the bread was dry, and there was not many veggies on it. As the main course it was quite disappointing. However there is lots of seating so if you have a large group that wants a cool place and some cocktails, this looks like the spot.
