The Fat Belgian : Little
Belgium in heart of Toronto
by Jaclyn Kasprzak,

Nestled within
the bustling entertainment district, The Fat Belgian is the
newest local denizen with the name that no one can forget.
Located near the corner of John & Adelaide, The Fat Belgian
boasts a double-decker interior with a spacious patio
bordered with bountiful flower baskets and elegantly lit
street lamps. Warm, dark mahogany wood furniture and
fixtures and large cushion-adorned banquettes creates an
urban loftesque atmosphere ideal for a date or a
get-together with some old friends.
Executive Chef Christopher Schelck
showcases a passion for
authenticity and quality can be exuded within the food that
he prepares on a daily basis. Everything right down to the
carefully reduced balsamic vinegar is meticulously readied
within The Fat Belgian’s kitchen. By dining at this venue,
one is able to indulge on dishes such as Baked Goat Cheese
Salad, Moules (mussels) Belgique, traditional steak
and frites, and puff pastry pizza. Pricing per plate is
considerably moderate with an average dinner cheque
amounting to approximately $25 per person. The service at
The Fat Belgian is very friendly, knowledgeable and readily
accessible.
Adding to the Fat Belgian’s appeal
is their vast and continuously growing repertoire of Belgian
ales and lagers. Their current collection includes trappist
beers such as Chimay, Orval & Rochefort, Witbiers (white
beers) including Hoegaarden, as well as varieties of abbey
& blonde beers, and standard pils like Leffe, Duvel &
Stella. Staying true to each brand, The Fat Belgian likes
to serve each beer in its respective branded tulip glass – a
true testament to the culture that they promote. The
ever-increasing demand for additional Belgian blends has
motivated The Fat Belgian to strive and scout rarer and
finer varietals.
The Fat Belgian is definitely a place where couples can cozy
up, friends can catch-up, and everyone can relax and
sight-see Toronto’s unmistakable nightlife, all while
enjoying a cold lager and delicious food – what more can one
ask for?
