L’Atomium
L’Atomium est un bâtiment emblématique de Bruxelles, qui fut construit en 1958 pour l’Exposition universelle de Bruxelles (Expo 58).
Haut de 102 mètres, il comporte neuf sphères revêtues d’acier inoxydable reliées entre elles pour former la représentation de la maille conventionnelle du cristal de fer grossie 165 milliards de fois. Les tubes ont un diamètre de 3 mètres et relient les sphères sur les 12 arêtes du cube ainsi que les 8 diagonales vers le centre. Ils contiennent des escaliers, des escalators et un ascenseur (dans le tube vertical central) qui permettent d’accéder aux cinq sphères habitables. Celles-ci contiennent des espaces d’exposition ainsi que d’autres lieux publics. La sphère du haut héberge un restaurant d’où l’on a une vue panoramique sur Bruxelles.
Chez Léon ne pouvait manquer l’occasion d’exposer l’une des œuvres les plus sympathiques de la bande dessinée : la reproduction d’une planche de l’album 0 où Gaston copie son visage sur chaque boule de l’Atomium en disant « Je n’aurais pas dû accepter ce boulot … Non, je n’aurais pas dû ».

While Chez Leon is in a touristy part of town, it doesn't fall into the 'trap' category of restaurants.Just had some fantastic mussels, ably assisted by my server Jules. Service was punctual and able to deal with my pigeon French, friendly and extremely efficient. The rest of the menu was full of extremely tempting classic Belgian fare. Could do some damage to my wallet in here!While waiting for my food I had a good chance to look at my surroundings, a mixture of old charm and kooky and kitsch extras (there's a massive smurf statue in there)Bill came to 35 euros, for a humongous pot of moules mariniere, frites and a glass of pretty darn decent house white.Overall, had a great time. Highly recommend.

홍합찜, 샐러드 먹었어요. 홍합찜은 꼭 드세요. 벨기에에서 감자튀김을 너무 많이 먹어서 샐러드를 주문했는데 현명한 선택이었습니다. 근데 메뉴에 같이 주는 감자튀김이 맛있어서 세 끼 연속으로 감튀 먹는 사람 됐네요… 이 식당 가실거면 가시기 전에는 감튀 사먹진 마세요. 식당에서 기본적으로 주는 것도 맛있습니다. 분위기가 한국인 친화적입니다. 벨기에 여행온 한국인, 일본인은 여기 다 모이는 느낌인데, 그럴만도 한게 입맛에 맞습니다. 옆 테이블의 유럽분들은 그라탕홍합과 파스타 드시던데 다음에 먹어보고 싶네요. 유쾌한 직원분들 덕분에 좋은 추억 남겼습니다.

최고였어요!! 현지 분위기도 엄청 잘 나고, 약간 가족식당같은 느낌이에요.음식은 완벽합니다!! 홍합 그라탕, 홍합탕, 피시엔칩스, 소시지랑 베이컨 있는 메뉴랑 맥주 2종류까지 골고루 시켜서 셰어했는데 어느 하나 아쉬운 메뉴는 없었어요.다만 브뤼셀 대부분이 그렇듯 프랑스어와 네덜란드어 메뉴판뿐이고, 영어도 적혀있지 않습니다.. 당황하지 마시고, 메뉴판 또는 식탁보에 있는 큐알코드 찍으시면 돼요..!! 웨이터분들은 모두 영어 유창하십니다!웨이터분도 엄청 유쾌하시고, 특히 한국인이라고 하니까 i love Korea 배지를 보여주시면서 재미있게 말 걸어 주셨습니다ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ아기, 강아지도 맘껏 출입할 수 있고 특징적인 약간의 소란도 다 허용되는 분위기입니다. 동시에 고급지고 조용조용한 분위기를 선호하시는 분은 살짝 뒤로가기... 그러나 저는 오히려 활기차고 화목한 공동체 느낌 속에서의 식사라 아주 즐거웠어요..!완전히 저녁시간은 아주 붐비는 편이라, 점심시간과 저녁시간 사이에 이른 저녁을 먹으러 찾아갔고, 웨이팅도 없었습니다! 저는 시키지 않았지만, 런치세트도 오후 5시까지 주문 가능하니 참고하세요..!

Generalmente, el restaurante estaba muy bien decorado y con un gran servicio. Daban pan para acompañar, el cual también estaba muy sabroso.Los camareros eran muy amables y eran rápidos. Es una buena zona para comer, pero estaría mejor que cambiarán un plato en específico.La primera comida estaba bastante buena, era sopa con puerro y le doy un 8/10. Sin embargo, la segunda comida, que era salchicha con una especie de puré raro y vegetales, no estaba tan buena. Le doy un 5/10, ya que lo único que me gustó fue la salchicha, y los vegetales estuvieron un poco malos, pero comí algunos. El puré era lo peor del plato, ya que no tenía una sabor disfrutable, sinceramente.Lo demás, como el postre estaba muy bueno y lo disfruté mucho.Eso es todo, adiós.

A must-visit restaurant in Brussels!The moment I saw the Taiwanese flag at the entrance, it instantly felt welcoming and special. As a Taiwanese traveler, that small detail meant a lot.Chez Leon has the charm of a true historic restaurant — lively atmosphere, warm service, and a strong sense of tradition. Dining here isn’t just about the food; it’s part of the Brussels experience.Highly recommend the Moules marinières — cooked with white wine and garlic, the mussels were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Paired with crispy Belgian fries, it’s the ultimate classic combination.The Soupe de poisson was rich and comforting, and a glass of Leffe Blonde completed the meal beautifully.Friendly service, efficient staff, and authentic Belgian flavors. If you’re visiting Brussels, this place absolutely deserves a stop.

A Taste of Tradition: My Evening at Chez LéonStepping off the narrow, bustling cobblestone streets of the Îlot Sacré and into Chez Léon, you aren't just entering a restaurant; you’re entering a Brussels institution. Since 1893, this place has been the beating heart of Belgian comfort food, and despite its fame among tourists, it has never lost its authentic, slightly chaotic charm.The AtmosphereThe first thing that hits you is the energy. It’s loud, crowded, and wonderfully unpretentious. Waiters in crisp white aprons navigate the narrow aisles with the precision of Formula 1 drivers, carrying towering trays of blue enameled pots. I was seated at a cozy wooden table upstairs, surrounded by vintage posters and the warm hum of a hundred different conversations. It feels like a living museum that still knows how to throw a dinner party.The Main Event: Moules-FritesI went for the classic: Moules Spéciales. When the lid was lifted, the steam carried that unmistakable aroma of celery, onions, and butter. The mussels were plump, tender, and tasted of the North Sea. But the real star, as any Belgian will tell you, is the broth at the bottom. I found myself using the empty shells as scoops—the traditional way—to savor every drop.The frites were exactly what they should be: double-fried, golden, and served with a generous dollop of mayonnaise. I paired the meal with a cold Léon Beer, a light, refreshing blonde brewed specifically for the establishment. It cut through the richness of the butter perfectly.The VerdictIs it "touristy"? Yes. But Chez Léon earns its reputation by staying consistent. The service was surprisingly fast given the crowd, and the price-to-quality ratio remains one of the best in the city center. It’s the kind of place where you leave with sticky fingers, a full stomach, and a genuine smile. If you want a fancy, quiet candlelit dinner, look elsewhere. But if you want the quintessential Brussels experience, this is the only place to be.

Çok güzel ve lezzetli bir yerdi. Dışarıdan göründüğünden daha büyük ve içerisi baya kalabalık. Rezervasyon yaptırmazsın sırada bekler ya da geri cevrilirsiniz. Tek sorun çalışanların hepsi Fransızca konuşuyor ve resmen İngilizce konuşmayı reddediyorlar. Ama bir şekilde anlaşıyorsunuz. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

I also really loved the mashed potato the texture was good and creamy, so comforting.A guy seated next to us wasn’t feeling well, and the team kept checking on him and even brought ice to help. Special shoutout to Ben, who was serving our table and took extra care of us. Truly thoughtful service. Highly recommend!

We visited Chez Léon because it is known for its long-standing tradition and experience in the city. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The place was extremely crowded, and the service was not up to standard. There was a strong, unpleasant smell, and the tables were placed very close to each other, which made the experience uncomfortable. We ordered the classic mussels, but they were not as tasty as we had expected. The overall concept and design of the place are interesting and visually appealing.

Institution, bon restaurant dans un cadre accueillant. Les prix restent cependant élevés pour les plats proposés qui restent classiques.

Atienden rápido. Las mesas están muy juntas para mí gusto, casi comes con los que tengas al lado, pero el sitio es curioso y la comida está bien si lo que buscas es más variedad de platos. Nos sorprendieron mucho los mejillones con queso! Tienen muchos tipos de platos de mejillones. Eché de menos el aceite para la ensalada, pero...allí donde fueres...😂 Precio correcto!

A Taste of Tradition: My Evening at Chez LéonStepping off the narrow, bustling cobblestone streets of the Îlot Sacré and into Chez Léon, you aren't just entering a restaurant; you’re entering a Brussels institution. Since 1893, this place has been the beating heart of Belgian comfort food, and despite its fame among tourists, it has never lost its authentic, slightly chaotic charm.The AtmosphereThe first thing that hits you is the energy. It’s loud, crowded, and wonderfully unpretentious. Waiters in crisp white aprons navigate the narrow aisles with the precision of Formula 1 drivers, carrying towering trays of blue enameled pots. I was seated at a cozy wooden table upstairs, surrounded by vintage posters and the warm hum of a hundred different conversations. It feels like a living museum that still knows how to throw a dinner party.The Main Event: Moules-FritesI went for the classic: Moules Spéciales. When the lid was lifted, the steam carried that unmistakable aroma of celery, onions, and butter. The mussels were plump, tender, and tasted of the North Sea. But the real star, as any Belgian will tell you, is the broth at the bottom. I found myself using the empty shells as scoops—the traditional way—to savor every drop.The frites were exactly what they should be: double-fried, golden, and served with a generous dollop of mayonnaise. I paired the meal with a cold Léon Beer, a light, refreshing blonde brewed specifically for the establishment. It cut through the richness of the butter perfectly.The VerdictIs it "touristy"? Yes. But Chez Léon earns its reputation by staying consistent. The service was surprisingly fast given the crowd, and the price-to-quality ratio remains one of the best in the city center. It’s the kind of place where you leave with sticky fingers, a full stomach, and a genuine smile. If you want a fancy, quiet candlelit dinner, look elsewhere. But if you want the quintessential Brussels experience, this is the only place to be.

淡菜新鮮，但沒有這麼大顆，算好吃，義大利麵麵條太軟爛完全不行，薯條有麥當勞味道，服務完全沒有熱情，最後結帳還問我們要不要給小費。

Locale caratteristico di Bruxelles dove puoi provare tante varietà di piatti di cozze. Noi abbiamo preso le famose moules et frites (prezzo circa 20€ che include la birra) e un piatto di cozze con burro e formaggio.

Çok güzel ve lezzetli bir yerdi. Dışarıdan göründüğünden daha büyük ve içerisi baya kalabalık. Rezervasyon yaptırmazsın sırada bekler ya da geri cevrilirsiniz. Tek sorun çalışanların hepsi Fransızca konuşuyor ve resmen İngilizce konuşmayı reddediyorlar. Ama bir şekilde anlaşıyorsunuz. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

ムール貝のクリームパスタがとてもいい味でした！魚介の風味と色んな旨味が濃縮されています。昼すぎの空いてる時間にここを通りかかり目をつけました。とても大きな敷地面積を持ち、2階にまで席があります。それにも関わらず夕食時の時間帯は大行列ができていて19時ぐらいから1時間ほど待ちました。ちぎりやすいようにパンに切り込みが入れてあるちょっとした気配りもうれしいです。

To have waitress who can't tell you about several types of beer on the menu or confuses dishes—you ordered one thing, but they bring you something completely different—is unacceptable for such a well-known restaurant. You shoul train yout staff better!All the rest - food, choice in menu, drinks, atmosphere... - is great.

Abbiamo preso le cozze con le patatine fritte: quelle classiche non sapevano di molto, mentre in quelle gratinate il sapore era coperto dal formaggio

Everything was soo good, the food, service, and vibe. The beer was super refreshing, and the staff were incredibly friendly and caring.The mussels were very fresh, and the fries came with lots of nice sauces to choose from. I also really loved the mashed potato the texture was good and creamy, so comforting.A guy seated next to us wasn’t feeling well, and the team kept checking on him and even brought ice to help. Special shoutout to Ben, who was serving our table and took extra care of us. Truly thoughtful service. Highly recommend!

The waitress was speaking some african dialect of French, no other languages. She was not able to tell the difference between the house beers and finally confused the order of my wife. For such a good place, she was just a bad fit spoiling all the impression.

Alors là, m'fieu, ça est tout à fait le genre d'expérience a ne surtout pas rater, sais-tu, une fois.Les meilleurs spécialistes culinaire belge sont servi Chez Léon.Stoemp, Waterzooi, Moules Frites tout est présent et c'est délicieux et copieux et ce depuis plus d'un centenaire.Visiter Bruxelles sans passer par Chez Léon est un impardonnable péché.

Chez Léon is a true Brussels classic and an unforgettable dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the mussels — fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The fries were crispy and authentic, just as you’d expect in Belgium.The atmosphere was warm and lively, giving a real taste of Belgian culture, and the service was friendly and attentive despite how busy the restaurant was. Everything felt well-organized and welcoming.This place truly deserves its reputation. A must-visit restaurant in Brussels for anyone wanting authentic Belgian cuisine and a memorable meal.

We visited Chez Léon because it is known for its long-standing tradition and experience in the city. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The place was extremely crowded, and the service was not up to standard. There was a strong, unpleasant smell, and the tables were placed very close to each other, which made the experience uncomfortable. We ordered the classic mussels, but they were not as tasty as we had expected. The overall concept and design of the place are interesting and visually appealing.

저희가 주문 실수를 했는데도 웃으면서 주문을 바꿔주고 친절하게 서비스 해주셨어요! 맛도 훌륭합니다. 또 다시 여행오게된다면 다시 꼭 오고싶어요.

J'y ai été pour dîner avec un groupe dans le cadre d'un voyage erasmus. On a réservé er on a été très bien accueillis, ambiance chaleureuse et service rapide malgré le fait que le restaurant soit bondé. On a été servis par Mika, super accueillant et gentil. Repas copieux et bons, je recommande, restaurant très bien placé et spacieux.
