These frescoes were painted when “Chez Léon” was remodelled in 2005 and tell its history in heroic style.

青口Moules一如既往的稳定好吃😋，小朋友们喜欢。店员态度两极化，有个店员在餐厅营业柜台吃饭，我们点餐他说有人会来接待，吃完了收拾，直接扭脸说请稍等。后面是另一位亚裔服务员服务我们，非常满意。同一家点差异如此之大，可见管理之难度。。。

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Everything was so good. I really enjoyed a meal there. On top of that, the service was excellent. Mr Yaman's (if I'm wrong, so sorry, very nice guy) service was particularly great. My french was not good, but he was always kind.

The best muscles in Bruxelles. I always come to visit it when I am there. My suggestion is to book your table in advance.

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.
