'has meal' is the definition.
'eats' can be an answer for 'meal' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'has' bit.

'in brasserie at seven' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EATS' can be found hidden inside 'brasserie at seven'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eats that I've seen before include "Food (informal)" , "what is on the Christmas menu" , "fare" , "Chews" , "Devours - food" .)
