L'Ecailler du Palais Royal

We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant in Brussels. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. The seafood dishes were absolutely delicious — everything was fresh and full of flavor. We ended up eating way more than we planned because it was all just too good to resist! The prices are on the higher side, but given the quality of the food and the overall experience, it’s definitely worth it.

This is a classic restaurant with long history. The ambiance is a mix of vintage and modern style, which I enjoy a lot. The food is quite fine and the cooking technic is great. The rare is cooked in a very fine way that it is neither undercooked nor hard to chew. For the desserts I recommend the chocolate ones, which is a great mixture of bitterness and sweetness.

On the occasion of a business meeting we visited this restaurant for dinner with a party of 14 persons. The staff was very attending but in no way obtrusive. We had a course menu, and the food was really delicious - from starters to dessert. I hope that we might go there next year as well! Thank you so much for your hospitality...

Everything is so great, from the food to the service. Certainly it isn’t an average restaurant so the price matches the quality of ingredients and the efforts that the chef put into the plate. Surprisingly for such a high-end restaurant, the quantity was very generous. I had the best lobster raviolis of my life here. I do hope places like that will continue to exist. You can truly feel a difference when a real, experienced chef took the right time and dedication to cook for you. They also put some fusion touches in the menu, which is just enough to introduce new flavors without destroying the finesse of sophisticated French cuisine.

Top notch dining experience. I don’t know that I would change a thing, only one question / observation. To start: 1) Excellent service. The staff is extremely proactive and takes the lead with everything. I was very impressed by the staff. Our waitresses did not steer us wrong. Margot helped us in a very graceful manner by answering all of our questions about the different dishes to be able to select our choices and allowed us tastings of a few wines to select our beverages too. 2) Loved the food- everything from the bread to the complimentary starter to our appetizer and our mains. The sea bass tartare part of the complimentary starter was exquisite. The balance of flavors with the textures including the fish was delicious. My boyfriend tried deer for the first time as a main and thought it was excellent meat. I tried the stuffed dover sole with crab meat and loved it. First time eating Dover sole - paired with the crab meat was even better. The plate and food was served hot which I also appreciated as it’s not always the case. 3) Ambiance - excellent - including the music. I found myself enjoying the music. It also feels cozy for a fine dining establishment. Sometimes for me, fine dining can feel stuffing. This place, not at all. My only comment- really a question- I wondered about the mashed potato and why that was chosen to be served with the stuffed Dover sole. It’s really a question for the chef- I’m sure there is a reason. I expected a sautéed green. Nonetheless I was pleasantly surprised to find it worked with the Dover sole. We look forward to coming back next time we have a chance in Brussels.

This is a lovely restaurant, which offers delicious and quality food with a fair price. The staff is super friendly and restaurant is cozy for family and friends. The location is also easily reachable!

Had a great experience here. A business dinner, booking with 20 ppl. 4 courses, all really good. Excellent service.

Had a great dinner here. Took the menu 6 dishes and had a good time. Nice wine and fair price

The food here was very good. The staff is friendly but at times a little bit pushy/not relaxed. It's a quaint restaurant with a lovely setting. I had a Jewfish that was lovely. Great spot if you are in the area!

Overpriced for what you get, but service is great, food is though not as extraordinary as one would expect for the price.

Extraordinary. Classical Belgian seafood in a beautiful historical setting. Excellent food, attentive service, and a nice wine list. Expensive but worth it.
