Very cozy place with an assortment of traditional Flemish dishes. The pork cheeks are an absolute melt-in-your-mouth sensation 👍 Friendly, informal staff. Reservations are probably recommended, especially for more than two people.

Excellent dishes in the heart of Antwerp. Authentic and very tasty. The main courses are exquisite. Loved the beers and the service. Thank you so much.

We were here for a late lunch, absolutely delicious steak tartare with fries. We haven't eaten better 🍟🍗. The selection of local beer in Antwerp is also great. I will definitely be happy to recommend it and I will be happy to come back. Thank you☺️🫶🩷

Came here in July and in December, just before Christmas. I was able to sit in the same seat each time. Wonderful selection of beers, this time I had the delirium noel winter beer and it was lovely. Not eaten here, but would definitely come back to this place again next time I am in Antwerpen.

Delicious frites. Good, hearty grub. The place was so busy for a weeknight so clearly it has an excellent reputation.

Great food and great service! We had the salmon steak and it was delicious with the béarnaise sauce and sun-dried tomatoes with arugula. We also had the beef carpaccio as an appetizer which was also very delicious.

We go to Antwerp one or two times a year, and a visit to De 7 Schaken is one of the things we do without a doubt! This place has a really authentic and cosy atmopshere, a very friendly staff always willing to help you and with a great sense of Belgian humor. The food is amazing. Tasty, pure, straightforward and large portions. They have some great dishes; some of them traditional and typical Belgian. Their fries are in my top 3 of best fries. On top of that they serve some very good beers. They also have some nice desserts, but usually I am so full and satisfied that I cannot take any… Overall De 7 Schaken is more than just food: it is a full experience. Just love this place.

Very good. Very friendly staff. Real flemish cuisine

Delicious carbonade Flamande (the best we've ever had !) and generously served (we were stuffed !), great wine recommendation and great waiter. A well-designed/decorated brasserie, quietly stylish ! I would definitely go back !

Great - food and service!

Amazing! Reserve a table or get here early. We got last table by the door and saw numerous couples getting turned away 😕 Stew was delicious and goats cheese was fantastic!

Best Stoofvlees in Town! Nice Place, good food. Service was this time not so "aware of us" like during the last visit -so for stars for service, becaue last time it was super. Absolut recommendation.

Very friendly staff and a decent menu. The food was excellent quality and not bad price. You should come hungry though - we made the mistake of an early supper and were not prepared for the portions!

A really authentic belgian place with huge portions and delicious fresh food.

Very tasty meal, nice staff and cozy environment! The cheese croquettes are marvellous.

Centrally locatet and lively but not too crowded this restaurant is a good place if you want to eat yummy, regonal food. They had a big selection of drinks and differnt local food. The portions were big. I absolutely recommend the asparagus kroketjes. It was not too touristic even though it is in the middle of the city.

Went for a lunch last weekend with my family. It was amazing tasty traditional Belgian food and very service. Warm welcome. We will definitely be back again soon

Classic brasserie with a nice selection of beers, great quintessential Flemish/Belgian cuisine and friendly service. Centrally located. Would recommend.

Our booking did not go through but they still found us a table last minute....so nice!! Waitress was lost. Came to our table 3 times with wrong orders. Waiter was busy...we'd of spent more on drinks had he noticed us frantically waving several times. Food is awesome tho....busy time of year!

Ordered the Flemish stew, pork cheek stew and vol-au-vent. We were reminded that these dishes were not served with greens so had to order vegetable/salad separately. The stews were really tasty. Very friendly service. Definitely not a tourist trap despite its location.

I decided to order Picanha (a cut of beef called sirloin cap) as per their suggestion (written on a blackboard). It was served with chimichurri (uncooked sauce, green) and fries. Although the plating/food presentation wasn't​ noteworthy, the food was good. The waiter was very friendly but didn't know much about the food what was being served (as he couldn't suggest us what was good). My colleague ordered rabbit stew with beer sauce and croquettes on the side...delicious.

A very good bistro / café. For café I would give 5/5, good choice of different beers you haven't tasted before. The bistro is very nice, friendly staff and very good food. Just simple honest food you can enjoy and leave happy. And the price is very good for what you get.

I always enjoy going there. This is where you'll get Belgian food as it's supposed to be. The staff are super friendly. Prices are reasonable. And oh my, their fries are amazing! It's usually very busy so booking a table well on time is advised.

One of my favourite restaurants in antwerp. The "stoofvlees" (stew), a Belgian classic, is one of the best in the city

A super tasty, non touristy restaurant, which is refreshing in a sea of tourist traps. Great stoofvlees and fries. The stamppot was very good, too. The 80s playlist put the rating from a 4 to a 5.

Next to town hall and the world-famous bistrot "Den Engel", this typical Flemish restaurant is an institution in its own right. Quality and quantity are very good, service is friendly and cool. Sit down and enjoy your meal!

Excellent! We tried three traditional Flemish dishes. Each one was amazing, the meat is excellent quality and tender. There were only two servers serving a lot of tables but they still managed to fly around serving everyone, and were still incredibly patient and friendly.

Good service,good food I enjoy a lot high recommend

The chicken stew was nice with a special cream flavor, the meal is really enough for a woman. Croquettes are spécial to me as my first try.

(Translated by Google) Cozy brown café with typical Belgian dishes. Good food! (Original) Gezellig bruin café met typische Belgische gerechten. Lekker gegeten!

Try the Tripel Karmeliet. The Flemish Meatballs are served with mash potatoes. Excellent food and drink in Antwerp, Belgium

Good bear, great food. Noticeably fresh, would come back. Great place!

I have been here twice. The stovlees is very good, and last time I tried the steak tartas and it surprised me. The meat was very fresh and tasty. They also have champagne beer, probably one of the best things of this place.

Absolutely delicious Moules Frites in beer, lovely outdoor seating area with a great view.

One of the worst stakes I’ve ever had. Well done was over-over done. Almost not chewable, but the waiter said there was nothing wrong with it))))))

Good food, but slow service

Cozy and warm restaurant, really for those people who would want to know and taste some Belgian beers and cuisine. The price is somehow expensive but the service and the food are worth it.

Very good local Belgian (as far as I know) food. BUT, they were seemingly quite partial to the non tourists who received distinctly preferential treatment. We were not told/shown about any of the specials, were served significantly slower than (presumably) locals, and did not receive complimentary bread that said groups instantly received. It's unfortunate to leave such a petty 3 star review when the food and location were great, but this is intended for tourists after all.

Nothing spectacular however nothing bad either. I had ribs and cherry beer. The beer is super nice the ribs are ok ... service was acceptable. However the ratio price/food quality could be better

This places serves amazing food and drinks. Portions are huge though, so it might be possible to even share. Service was great as well.

Friendly restaurant with an impressively outstanding steak on its menu (it's no doubt the best I ever had, and I am no stranger to good steaks), although I have no doubt that for instance its pigs cheeks are equally as good. Would happily eat there again if given the chance (I'll probably take a decent detour for it as well).
