The best Portuguese restaurants Belgium

If you're looking for a warm Portuguese welcome, family-style cooking in an authentic setting and good home-cooked food (by the owner and his wife), you'll find it at Casa Santos. This no-frills restaurant offers a short menu of Lusitanian specialties (francesinha, cod à Zé do Pipo...) with one or two tasty French offerings and an equally short but well-chosen wine list. Worth mentioning: the democratic prices and the delicious prawn platters.

Uccle Calevoet looks like a big village, and that's where Filipe decided to open a neighborhood restaurant in the noblest sense of the word. Although the restaurant is brand new, it already has its regulars, and that's a good sign. Filipe highlights his Italian-Portuguese origins in a menu that changes according to his moods. The pizzas remain the constants, while the rest varies from linguine vongole to pasteis de nata, without neglecting French and seasonal cuisine (game in autumn). The plates are generous, cooked just like at home.
