Jacques Brel
Jacques Romain Georges Brel, born 1929, died 1978, was a Belgian singer, songwriter, actor and director who composed and performed literate, thoughtful, theatrical songs that generated a large, devoted following – initially in Belgium and France, later throughout the world. He was widely considered a master of the modern chanson and sold over 25 million records worldwide.
When his health began to fail due to cancer, he decided to live in the Marquesas Islands.
He died of a pulmonary embolism on 9 October 1978 at the age of 49.
For the first and only time in its history, the Brel Foundation agreed to collaborate with a commercial undertaking: “Chez Léon”.
The opening of the Léon restaurant on the Champs-Elysées was entirely Brel-themed: the invitation, a film of his last concert at the Paris Olympia, and above all a special 3000-copy numbered edition of a CD with logo issued by the Brel family for the Vanlancker family.

Comimos aquí el mismo día que llegamos a Bruselas y la experiencia fue más que agradable. El ambiente era justo el que buscábamos para un grupo amplio, en pleno centro de la ciudad y con las características de la cocina Belga. Probamos algunos de los platos típicos como los mejillones y la carne en salsa, además de algo de pescado frito. Además, por supuesto, de unas buenas cervezas. Buena calidad precio sin grandes pretensiones.

Léon c'est une institution ! Et on ne change pas une institution.Qu'est ce qu'on mange chez Léon ?Des moules, des moules et encore des moules.Alors c'est vrai que c'est légèrement bruyant, légèrement survolté mais pourquoi y retourne t'on ?Pour ça évidemment.Clientèle cosmopolite bien sûr mais à un jet de pierre de la Grand Place qu'attendre d'autre.Alors longue vie à "Chez Léon".

Back here after 10 years, it’s my all-time favourite to enjoy the Brussels’ classic fare - mussels! It looks like a tourist trap, but it’s really not. The dishes are reasonably priced and the house beer is awesome. Excellent customer service by the staff as well!

Franchement rien à redire! Les quantités sont énormes et pour le prix c’est un bon deal. Mais la personne qui m’impressionne le plus, c’est la personne à l’accueil! Ça doit bien faire dix ans (ou plus) que je viens sporadiquement chez Léon, et c’est toujours lui qui nous offre un accueil impeccable et en bonus il ne semble même pas vieillir!

Best mussels I’ve had in my life. We did not have a reservation so we got here right when the restaurant opened. We ordered Mussels Gratin which is mussels with cheese, butter and herbs. Sooooo good, coupled it with bread too. We also had the Chez Leon beer as well as "Georges" Pils. Everything was phenomenal! Then last week I came here again. We ordered the Mussels Provencale (butter, tomato, garlic, cheese), Mussels Beurre à l'ail Gratinées (butter, garlic, cheese, fine garlic) and the Waterzooi de Poissons (sole, salmon and monkfish). Washed the food down with Omer Beer and Chez Leon Beer. Can’t wait to try this again!
