More than anything, the folks at Cafe Hollander love the three B's: the Benelux region, beer, and bicycles. Cafe Hollander is proud to be a grand cafe in the style of those found throughout the Benelux region of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. These European grand cafes are comfortable places where neighbors can meet daily over a cup of espresso, a snack, a meal, or a strong ale. In that part of Europe, especially in Belgium, beer (or bier) is king. "The respect reserved for wine in most countries is in Belgium also accorded to beer," renowned alcoholic beverage expert Michael Jackson has written. "No country can match Belgium in the gastronomic interest of its beers." That's why beer finds its way into so many of the recipes Cafe Hollander uses, such as Benelux meatloaf and sausage and sweet potato smash, not to mention desserts like Gulden Draak pecan pie and cidre apple crumble. Cafe Hollander is big on breakfast, including, of course, Belgian waffles and the Hot Mess Skillet, also made with beer. Finally and significantly, Cafe Hollander embraces Dutch culture -- and bicycles are a vital element of Dutch culture. Cafe Hollander brings that love for bikes to Wawatosa -- from the vintage bike posters all over the restaurant to its clubs, giveaways, teams and support of cycling activities. So ride on over to Tosa Village and get your Benelux on.
