Belgian hot spot Belga Café (514 Eighth St. SE) is celebrating its five-year anniversary with a week’s worth of festivities that are set to start Oct. 21.

The celebration will kick off with a four-course dinner paired with seven wines from Executive Chef Bart Vandaele’s private wine cellar. The evening costs $125 a head and will include lectures from wine importers.

If beer is more your style, check out the three-course, five-beer dinner on Oct. 22. Those who love a good deal should swing by the nights of Oct. 23 and 24 when the original menu will be offered for the same price it was in 2004.
