Me husband and I discovered by accident this amazing Portoguese restaurant. The place itself is very well decorated and gives off a cool and traditional atmosphere. I married into a portoguese family and developed quite the critical eye for portoguese food. I can assure Seven Bruselas will satisfy your highest expectations. The food is delicious and it looks amazing to the eye. It is not easy to find good fish in brussels, let alone good fish well cooked. The host and the staff, inside and outside the kitchen, will make you feel welcome and make sure your stay will be pleasant. We begun with a starter of Ameijoas à bulhão Pato, the clams had such a complete taste. The chef made sure to enhance their natural taste with very simple ingredients. And as a main course we shared a Arroz Marisco, this plate has really left me speechless. Not only because again the fish was deliciously cooked but the portions was definetely worth its money. I would suggest to stay light before ordering this . Great Ingredients, sublime cooking abilities and ultra professional staff. A must!!

One of the few places in Brussels where you can find good fish at a fair price. The atmosphere is nice, welcoming and traditional. The staff are super kind and make sure you feel well no matter your nationality or language. We will come back!

Sincerely great, the owner is just so kind and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and at home. True Portuguese hospitality. The food is so tasty, and the portions are gigantic. To be expected from a local restaurant in Portugal. But you’re in brussels! Easy to forget as you’re surrounded by Portuguese people. Understandably, because the quality and the prices are amazing. Dona Dulce is the chef, if I heard it correctly, and you can see her work in the kitchen with such serenity it just makes the experience even tastier. I already told my husband I’d love to come once a month and try each time a new dish because the 2 we just had now were to-die-for! (Starter: ameijoas à bulhão Pato x main Arroz de Marisco (which easily serves 4 people to be honest!). Applause
