VII Bistro (Seven Bistro NG) — Restaurant in Wuse II

VII (Seven) Bistro Restaurant and Bar is another Old but Gold spot in Abuja. It has been around for quite a while and i have heard so much about it but i had my first visit just recently. It is located at No 7 Kampala street Wuse, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. The restaurant and bar is very cozy and has such a cool/chill vibe. With a very fun and rustic Interior, seven bistro instantly stole my heart. Read all about it below;

Ambience

The restaurant ambience is really nice. They have an indoor space and an outdoor space. I love how they have neon signs with cute write ups. The outdoor space is a rooftop setting but it’s enclosed and also beautifully decorated. it has a nice view and it’s more private and secluded. There’s a mini bar uptstairs and also a restroom for convinence.

I love both spaces so much. The space has a relaxing and fun vibe. It’s a very good hangout spot with friends.

Food & Drink

We ordered the red pepper pasta, owambe meal, virgin colada and water. Before our food and drink arrived, we were served complimentary potato chips and salsa. The potato chips were really crispy and it tasted so good with the salsa.

Red pepper pasta – N5,270

My friend Yasmin ordered the red pepper pasta and it looked really good even before we tasted it. It was hot, steamy Linguine pasta made in creamy pepper sauce and served with gizzard. I like that they used gizzard instead instead of chicken or seafood as usual. The pasta was really delicious and i totally wished i had ordered it.

Owambe – N6,800

The owambe meal was a combo meal. It was made up of beef suya, jollof rice, fried plantain and coleslaw. I enjoyed everything on my plate except the jollof rice. The jollof rice was nice and seemed tasty but it was dry and did not seem fresh. It seemed like it was made a day before and microwaved to be served. The beef suya was tasty and skillfully made.

Virgin colada – N3,500

The virgin colada is a pineapple juice, simple syrup and coconut cream mocktail combo. It tasted like a natural fruit juice, it wasn’t too sweet and it wasn’t bland either. The drink was nice but i didn’t really enjoy it because it’s just not my kind of drink.

TOTAL BILL – NGN12,141

General Review

VII Bistro is a very great spot for hanging out with friends, a Casual date or even a solo date. It is very budget friendly and their service was very fast and efficient. I look forward to visiting again soon for a chill day with my friends.

I have been so lethargic about putting out any reviews this year. This is me pushing through and putting out content finally.

I visited Seven Bistro in December last year for breakfast. As expected, I enjoyed my experience! The ambience is great (I am sure everyone in Abuja knows this by now) - it’s not the biggest space, but it is big enough to dine privately (not sure if this makes sense 😑). The customer service is also 100% - we had waiters constantly checking up on us to see if we needed anything.

I ordered the American Breakfast (with Waffles, Omelet and Hot Chocolate). I enjoyed every single thing on the plate 👌🏽. The waffles were soft and very easy to eat. I particularly loved the taste (now that I think about it, I didn’t really need the syrup). The omelet was too spicy for me so I swapped it with my guy’s scrambled egg and I preferred that one by far (he enjoyed the omelet so it’s definitely personal preference). I also felt like the grilled potatoes needed to stay a bit longer in the grill but this was not a major issue for me.

Overall, this breakfast worked. It was nearly perfect and I can’t...

Ate there for breakfast. While the continental dishes were quite good, the price was less appealing. The addition of the service charge was not expected when, realistically, that's what you're paying to be at a decent restaurant for - good service. It made the final bill very high for not a huge amount of food, even though the food itself was quite good. Our server came back with a bill that was almost 8,000 naira higher than it should have been which we had to have fixed. We also were not made aware that a substitution on a meal was going to result in a higher price. We should have been told of this price difference before we placed our order so that we could decide whether we wanted to make the change or not.

Overall it was a lovely setting and decent food but I did not find that the price justified...
