Café Benelux

In Milwaukee's bustling Historic Third Ward, where cobblestone streets echo tales of times gone by, there lies a rooftop retreat that transports patrons straight to the heart of Europe. Welcome to Café Benelux, a haven of Belgian and Dutch inspirations, that delivers not only a taste of the Low Countries but also some of the most captivating views of the city.

European Ambiance with a Midwestern Touch

Café Benelux takes its name from the Benelux region, comprising Belgium (BE), the Netherlands (NL), and Luxembourg (LUX). As you ascend to the rooftop, you're met with an ambiance reminiscent of a European bistro. Striped umbrellas, rustic wooden tables, and twinkling lights set against the backdrop of Milwaukee's skyline create a space that feels both exotic and familiar.

Culinary Tour of the Low Countries

The café's menu offers a delightful journey through the culinary traditions of Belgium and the Netherlands. From savory "bitterballen" and hearty stews to the world-famous Belgian waffles drizzled with decadent toppings, every dish is crafted with authenticity in mind. Each bite, infused with rich flavors and prepared using fresh ingredients, whisks you away to the streets of Brussels or Amsterdam.

A special mention must be made of Café Benelux's mussel pots, which have garnered quite a reputation. Cooked in a variety of flavorful broths and served traditionally with frites and mayo, they embody the essence of Belgian cuisine.

A Beer Lover’s Paradise

Milwaukee's brewing legacy combined with Belgium's renowned beer culture makes Café Benelux a veritable paradise for beer enthusiasts. The venue boasts an extensive beer menu, with a special emphasis on Belgian brews. From fruity lambics and crisp witbiers to robust Trappist ales, the selection is both vast and curated, catering to both novices and aficionados.
