René Magritte

René François Ghislain Magritte, born 1898, died 1967, was a Belgian surrealist artist. He became famous for his witty and thought-provoking images.

Magritte’s work frequently displays a collection of ordinary objects in an unusual context, giving new meanings to familiar things. The use of objects as other than what they seem is typified in his painting The Treachery of Images (La Trahison des images), which shows a pipe that appears to be an advertisement for a tobacco store. Beneath the pipe, Magritte wrote “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” (“This is not a pipe”). Although an apparent contradiction, this is actually true: the painting is not a pipe, but an image of a pipe.

”Chez Léon” has paid tribute to his memory by naming one of its classic dishes “This is not a Mussel”.

Un vrai régal chez Léon ! J’ai opté pour la formule Léon avec des moules marinières, des frites et une bière bien fraîche. Tout était parfait : les moules étaient savoureuses, parfaitement cuisinées, et les frites délicieuses.Mon compagnon quant à lui a prit une carbonnade flamande et s’est régalé aussi. Mention spéciale aux serveurs, super sympas et professionnels ! Je ne comprends vraiment pas les avis négatifs à leur sujet, car tout s’est très bien passé pour moi. Le service était rapide et chaleureux. Je recommande vivement !

I think this place is a bit overrated. The food was just okay, and the service was somewhat disappointing. When I asked the server a question about the menu (specifically, the difference between two dishes), he seemed reluctant to explain it. I ended up ordering under pressure due to his attitude without getting any explanation. Regardless of the service, food was really just okay.

Estuvimos cenando un jueves. Local muy bonito y con mucho ambiente. La comida estaba buena, pero escasa (6langostinos al ajillo por 20 euros). Los mejillones 800 gr por 27 euros. Precio como en el resto de sitios de la zona, pero cobrarte por una botella de medio litro de agua casi 5 euros me parece salvaje, deben de ir a coger el agua personalmente al manantial todas las mañanas .

Конечно, это чистой воды tourestaurant, то есть туристическое место. Все на потоке, официанты замученные, душевного сервиса не ждите.Тем не менее, еда достаточно вкусная, особенно, что касается специалитетов. Мидии — хороший выбор рецептов и вкусно. Официантка порекомендовала взять вареные с грибами и беконом (да, когда наш заказ вышел за рамки стандартного проходного, она включилась и оказалась очень милой), и это действительно было вкусно. Пробовали еще с сыром, тоже вкусно, но не то, что надо, чтоб распробовать сам продукт.Лягушачьи лапки никакие, не берите, не портите впечатление. Картошка фри — совсем отстой, не ешьте.

Zeer leuke ervaring op alle vlakken. Ik had eerst 4 holle oesters, daarna een gebakken tong met frietjes en een lekker wit wijntje en als dessert een met Grand-Marnier geflambeerde pannenkoek met mandarijnpartjes en lekker sausje en een koffie om af te sluiten 😋😋😋 Het was zeer lekker en ik vond de verhouding prijs/kwaliteit ook zeer goed en het interieur zeer gemoedelijk en fun.

Estar en Bruselas y no comer o cenar akí, es como si no hubieras venido. Cenamos unos mejillones con bacon, setas, cebolla, apio y nata.....hummmmmm para chuparse los dedos. Los hay cocinados de muchas maneras y a cada cual más buenos porque los gratinados con mantequilla de ajo, están de muerte. Tuvimos suerte de k era domingo noche y no había cola para entrar pero va muy rápido.

El restaurante es enorme , con una decoración peculiar y es muy conocido en Bruselas. La especialidad los mejillones con patatas y el guiso de carne con salsa de cerveza . Aunque haya mucha fila para entrar el servicio es rápido. La comida está buena y el precio normal para lo que cuesta todo en esta ciudad. El servicio agradable.Merece la pena conocerlo.

A nice restaurant in central Brussels, with plenty of room for sits, hence not difficult to find a table for two. The menu is made mainly ad-hoc for tourists, with plenty of choices between meat and fish, with many dishes from Belgian's tradition. I definitely recommend the mussels casserole with white wine. Service was really fast and the staff was friendly.

Came in early, and Big boss chef told us to wait a few more so they can prep up.Inside ambiance is nice and inviting with classic decors, documentary portraits, and floating books. WCs are upstairs.Food is good served with diligence. Mussels from Brussels with pasta Alfredo was good.The beef tartare, however, was overpowered with lemon juice. It may be their version since the place is an institution here, but I've had better. Great ales, of course! Westmalle tripel.Decent price, good service. Lots of tourists.

I visited for a group dinner and had the vegetarian option, a "soy steak". The meal was unfortunately dull and uninspiring, a cheap veggie patty with boiled potatoes and green beans. There was no sauce with the meal.The atmosphere is better than the food, the staff were friendly, and the drinks were good albeit a bit expensive.If the restaurant put some more effort jnto the meals, I would be happy to visit again.

I was a bit iffy about trying this place as it is supposedly very touristy and an institution. Pleasantly surprised as we were quickly given a table and served. Food came quite quickly. Mussels were fresh and delicious, the carbonnade flamande was tender and flavourful. A bit small portion though, mussels on the other hand were plentiful. Chips were crisp and good to mop up the sauces. Beer was good too. Service was efficient and polite.In fact I wanted to add they impressed me so that we went back for dinner again another night and more of the same, only better. The moules frites were again outstanding, and the mussels salad was delicious.

Très bonnes moules et serveur très sympathique. Seul bémol : la bouteille d'eau (50 cl) à 4, 75 € qui ne porte pas d'étiquette et qui n'est pas débouchée devant vous, probablement de l'eau du robinet.

Great place, the seafood is fresh and very tasty. We got a set of snails, oysters, and mussels for 35.50 euros. The sauce was a bit weak, and for such a large platter, a couple more pieces of bread and two extra sauces would have been nice, but overall everything was delicious, and we really enjoyed it. Occasionally, there was some sand. The draft wine wasn’t good—maybe we should have chosen a different one. We got to sit where we wanted, which is a plus. We were first served by an older gentleman, short with gray hair. I asked him for help choosing a dish, but he didn’t help much (we wanted a traditional dish, but the waiter just described the ones on the menu 😂👌🏻).The place has a great atmosphere and looks stylish. The waitstaff are friendly and nice, and so are the chefs (I was filming a video, and they introduced me to the head chef 😂😂, which was fun). I'm sure the other dishes are just as tasty here. I’ll definitely come back 👌🏻👍🏻.

Went there thru recommendation from AI…! Hahaha.. I must say it’s surprisingly great! The ambience was superb.. read reviews about this place. I feel it’s very subjective.For me, I like it here! The food came piping hot! Loves their mussels n fries of course. Not forgetting to mention their escargots.. very fresh for both of them. The pasta was a little blend but none the less.. the place was fantastic! I was early for dinner n there was no dinner crowd yet so didn’t have to wait in queue.
