The Toone Theatre
The first traditional puppet theatre, the Toone Theatre was opened in 1830 by Antoine “Toone” Genty.
This unique theatre presents puppet shows for adults a stone’s throw from the world’s most beautiful square, the Grand-Place. Nowadays, they can be viewed in several languages.
Today, Nicolas Géal and his team of six puppeteers adapt famous plays and shows, from Romeo and Juliet to Dracula, Faust and Carmen.
Mr Géal, a seventh-generation puppet-master, did us the very great honour of gifting us a Harlequin puppet.
To celebrate our restaurant’s centenary, we had a puppet made of our mascot Léon de la Moule.

To make sure you get in, call at least a day ahead and make reservations -- but do make reservations! This was a fantastic meal. The atmosphere is chaotic in the best way and the food was the best we had in Brussels. Leave room for dessert (you have room even if you think you don't, but the way) become it was quite nice as well.

Nos decidimos a ir a comer a este restaurante después de ver anteriormente buenas reseñas y vídeos de TikTok, pero fue toda una decepción.La calidad de la comida dejaba mucho que desear, los mejillones no tenían sabor a nada.La salsa de la carne estaba buena pero no hubo nada destacable, no es un sitio que recomendaría.También se equivocaron cuando pedimos los cafés (nos trajeron 3 cafés solos por 5€ cada uno), pero teníamos ganas de salir de allí y no dijimos nada.El trato de los camareros fue agradable, pero el precio de la comida es desorbitado para lo que es.

Probamos los mejillones con patatas fritas típicos de allí y estaban deliciosos, bien cocinados y un sabor agradable, lo mismo con los calamares. La atención de los empleados genial y había mucho ambiente pero podías hablar tranquilamente. Y a pesar de estar en pleno centro, no fue muy caro y no tuvimos que hacer cola (que en eso creo que tuvimos suerte)

Carta muy variada para disfrutar de la comida belga o si prefieres algo de marisco. El menú infantil también es variado y se sale de lo básico, pueden escoger hasta una cazuela de mejillones. Además, el servicio fue estupendo, el camarero nos explicó recomendaciones y fue muy atento en todo momento. Bastante bien de precio para estar en pleno centro de Bruselas.

Had Herb mussels and chez leon salad with fried mussels + 2 oysters. The mussels dish could have been a little salty for some people but that is exactly how it should be to balance the butter and mussels!!!Loveeeee all the dishes and their leon beer! My first full meal in Brussels and I'm glad we chose this and sat outside. The waiter we got was jolly and full of jokes. It maybe a tourist trap but we are tourists so we dont mind at all.
