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.

Мы были в этом кафе два вечера подряд.В первый вечер всё было просто замечательно: еда вкусная, подача красивая, обслуживание быстрое и приятное. Нам очень понравилось, поэтому мы решили вернуться снова.К сожалению, во второй вечер впечатление испортилось. Мы заказали блюдо по фото из меню, но нам принесли заказ в неполной комплектации — не хватало мидий и соуса. Визуально и по наполнению это совсем не соответствовало тому, что было представлено на фотографии. Как минимум официант должен был нам об этом предупредить.Считаем, что при такой цене ожидание и реальность должны совпадать. Очень жаль, потому что после первого визита впечатление было отличное.

A la lecture des avis, j'ai pas mal hésité mais on s est lancé quand même. Agréablement surpris par le lieu qui d'un point de vue décoration est tres sympaToilettes propres (début de service). Serveurs sympathiques, service rapide. Avons pris menus soupe bien chaude et bien bonne, salade de lardons juste tièdes pour les lardons, auraient mérités un chouia de chaleur.Plat poisson tres bien.Desserts chocolat et crème caramel tout à fait corrects. Avec une boisson, le tout pour 70€ (2 adultes et 1 menu enfant)En plein centre-ville, franchement rien à dire

Wat een geweldige ervaring bij Chez Léon in België! Vanaf het moment dat we binnenkwamen werden we vriendelijk ontvangen door het personeel. De bediening was attent, professioneel en altijd met een glimlach, wat meteen zorgde voor een aangename en ontspannen sfeer.We hebben heerlijk gesmuld van de mosselen, die op verschillende manieren waren bereid. Het was echt leuk om verschillende smaken te kunnen proeven, en eerlijk gezegd waren ze allemaal even lekker! De mosselen waren vers, goed gekruid en perfect gegaard. Je proeft echt de kwaliteit en de ervaring in de keuken.De porties waren royaal en alles werd mooi gepresenteerd. Ook de bijgerechten pasten perfect bij de gerechten. Het is duidelijk dat hier met passie wordt gewerkt.Absoluut een aanrader voor iedereen die in België van lekkere mosselen wil genieten. Wij komen zeker nog eens terug!

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.

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 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.

The mussel selection served on a tray with sauce is absolutely delicious. I personally didn’t enjoy the heavy oily taste of some of the fried items. When we arrived around 5–6 pm, we were seated immediately without waiting. They also accept reservations, which could be a good idea during busy hours. It’s quite a touristy place, but the atmosphere is very enjoyable and it’s definitely worth visiting for the tasty mussels.

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!

比利时最正宗最棒的青口海鲜店！快两百年历史了！几代人相传！口味一直很稳定！价格合理！服务速度有点慢！尤其买单需要等待很久！

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.

Good mussels, fast service. If you sit next to the heater, be warned, it is very hot and you most likely will get sweaty lol.

브뤼셀 여행 첫날에 유명한 쉐 레옹에서 홍합 그라탕과 홍합탕, 맥주를 먹었습니다. 친절한 서비스와 맥주가 쭉쭉 들어가는 맛있는 음식 덕분에 브뤼셀 첫날은 최고의 여행이 되었어요! 저희는 1층에 배치되었는데 sebastien 서버님의 유쾌하고 친절한 응대 덕분에 가게 분위기를 더 즐길 수 있었습니다 :) 추천합니다!

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

The mussel selection served on a tray with sauce is absolutely delicious. I personally didn’t enjoy the heavy oily taste of some of the fried items. When we arrived around 5–6 pm, we were seated immediately without waiting. They also accept reservations, which could be a good idea during busy hours. It’s quite a touristy place, but the atmosphere is very enjoyable and it’s definitely worth visiting for the tasty mussels.

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.

브뤼셀에서 한국인에게 인기가 있네요. 특히 홍합요리와 해물요리가 있어서 좋습니다. 와인에 익힌 홍합 맛이 기가 막힙니다.
