Jean-Claude Van Damme
Jean-Claude Van Varenberg (born 18 October 1960), professionally known as Jean-Claude Van Damme and abbreviated to JCVD, is a Belgian actor, martial artist, screenwriter, film producer and director best known for his martial-arts action films.
He is also a character whose gaffes and provocative or eccentric statements have often landed him in trouble. However, he remains a unique personality, much loved by Belgians. Whenever he travels to Brussels, he always eats at “Chez Léon”.

A traditional restaurant in the middle of the tourist area. Excellent food - you should come here for the mussels, they are superb. We had the casserole with white wine, plus half a litre of house white wine, it was divine. They also have very goof waffles for dessert. Do reserve!

Un lugar donde comer muy recomendado en el centro de Bruselas. En esta ciudad todo es más bien caro, este sitio también, pero la calidad es muy buena y merece la pena. Recomiendo los mejillones y el vol au vent, mi favorito! Nos atendieron muy rápido y sin reserva, el restaurante tiene un montón de espacio. La decoración en el interior merece la pena verla.

ここが有名で特に美味しいと教わったので、私はムール貝は別に好きではありませんが、、、びっくりした！美味しーーーーーーい！！^ ^2人で500gのムール貝を注文。ビールが1杯サービスで付いてきました。ラッキー！2人ならちょうど良いですね。バクバク食べれます。塩加減が良い感じです。店員さん感じ良いです。周りにアジア人いましたが、店員さん達にこやかでした。カルボナーラスパゲッティも注文。これまた美味しい！日本でこんな風にムール貝を食べれるお店はなかなか無いと思うのでムール貝の美味しさを知れて良かったです。ありがとうございました^ ^ムール貝、パスタ、ビール2杯で約45ユーロでお得感ありました。

Biraz erken bir saatte gidince (TC den iki saat geride olduğu için bizim için makul bir akşam yemeği zamanı idi) rezervasyonumuz olmamasına rağmen rahatça yer bulduk. Mekan oldukça otantik ve çok merkezi. Midye ve patates kızartması yedik. Lezzetliydi. Brüksel’e gelip de bir akşamı buraya ayırmadan olmazdı. Biz keyif aldık.

日本語のメニューがあり驚きました！地元の方にお薦めされて足を運びました。貝やお魚のお料理も美味しかったですが、ワッフルが絶品でした！こちらで夕食を頂く前に、いくつかのお店でワッフルを頂いてからの訪問だったのですが、ふわふわした軽いワッフルに、甘すぎないクリームが丁度良くマッチしていて最高でした。スタッフの方は皆さんとてもフレンドリーで、テーブルを担当してくださった方は何から何まで丁寧にお世話をしてくださいました。

Dicen que Chez Leon es para turistas. Puede que lo sea, pero si es famoso se merece la fama. Comida abundante y de calidad, servicio estupendo (mención especial para nuestro camarero Antoine) y buen ambiente (tanto de turistas como de locales). El restaurante es enorme, la carta típica belga excelente, los mejillones y la sopa buenísimos. Una gran experiencia. No es barato pero tampoco caro comparado con el resto de Bruselas. Totalmente recomendable.

Having read the reviews on this I suspect there is a lot of language barriers going on.Our waiter was very friendly despite us speaking French he spoke English back.Food was fine, we had mussels & frites, base sauce was a bit bland but refreshing.We ordered a steak tartare to share and watched it being made, came under seasoned but prefer it served that way so we can season ourselves.We had to chase up an ice cream but no issues really. It came super quick after that.I thought it was a nice institution in the area and the waiter explained Dec is always crazy busy then Jan they all get to relax. They’re making the most out of the tourism whilst it lasts. I would definitely return.And kids eat free! Wonderful.

Located in the city centre, Chez Léon is a big restaurant located in a small road only accessible by walking. It offers most of the Belgian specialities and can be pretty crowded, especially in holidays season. Food is good, fries are awesome and prices are fair considering the position. A good stop if you are visiting Bruxelles and want to taste some local food.

We ordered the famous mussels, fries, and beer combo. The fries were truly mediocre, the mussels were decent, but definitely not worth waiting in line for. Additionally, we ordered calamari, and it was one of the worst I’ve ever had—it had a thick coating that felt more like pastry. For these prices, it honestly doesn’t even deserve a 4-star rating. Overly famous touristic place.
