Grote fresco’s
Deze fresco’s werden in 2005 gemaakt naar aanleiding van de grote renovatie van LEON. Ze vertellen in Homerische vorm de geschiedenis van LEON door de eeuwen heen.

Kesinlikle gidilmeli ve beurre a i ail graatines denenmeli mükemmeldi. Ben patateslerinide beğendim biraz tuzsuzdu ama sanki hafif terayağı ya da farklı bir yağla kızartılmıştı aroması çok güzeldi. Biz 4 kişi gittik 2 farklı yemek söyledik paylaştık ki waffle yer kalsın normalde çok açsanız bir tanesi ile anca doyarsınız onu bilin

Uno dei locali più noti e più turistici del centro storico di Bruxelles. Ci siamo andati due volte in una settimana e, in entrambi i casi, siamo rimasti un po' delusi. Il locale è molto ampio e c'è sempre posto (e ciò è sicuramente positivo). Si dovrebbe però prestare un po' più di attenzione al menu...Se si scrive "chicon gratiné", si dovrebbe anche specificare che l'indivia non è semplicemente gratinata ma viene avvolta nel prosciutto e servita ricoperta di besciamella o panna...E se una persona è allergica al lattosio? Per quel che riguarda i piatti, io ho preso il pesce che però è arrivato bruciacchiato. Il servizio è comunque veloce e i camerieri socievoli.

Brussels滞在中に2度訪問しました。外観の雰囲気が良さそうだったので、訪問。店内はお客さんが多く人気のお店だと感じました。店員さんもフレンドリーで好印象。ムール貝の定番料理を食べたくて、ムール・マリニエール(白ワイン蒸し)を頼みました。お店のおすすめセットということで、ビールとポテトが付いて約20ユーロ。日本人としては注文しやすい価格帯だと思います。白ワインで蒸されたムール貝はアサリよりも貝の風味が強くなった味、セロリの香りも感じられて美味しかったです。ただ、貝類が得意ではない人や香りの強い野菜が苦手という人にはおすすめできません。別で注文したガーリックとチーズがトッピングされたムール貝プレートはクセが少なくとても美味しかったです(プレートのみで約20ユーロ)。個人的には酒蒸しよりもチーズ＆ガーリックがおすすめです！ビールはもちろん美味しい！スモールサイズでも十分飲みごたえがあるので、是非お試し下さい！

You gotta try the mussels and frites here, seriously, just order them without even looking at the menu! If you think that's not enough, just grab some frites and waffles as a snack between lunch and dinner. I'd suggest having a light dinner here and then heading out to enjoy some more Belgian beers in the city. The staff are totally used to tourists and they've got multilingual menus, so you won't have any trouble at all.

If you’re heading to Brussels, Chez Léon is essentially the "Grand Central Station" of Belgian dining. It is arguably the most famous spot in the city for moules-frites, and while its location on Rue des Bouchers, walking into Chez Léon feels like stepping into a well-oiled machine that hasn't stopped since 1893. It’s loud, fast-paced, and massive—spread across several interconnected historic houses.It’s not a "romantic candlelit dinner" spot. It’s a "clinking beer glasses and steaming pots of mussels" spot. Expect paper placemats, brisk service, and a lively mix of tourists and locals.The waiters are professionals great service no wait for the meals they are generally friendly if you catch their eye.The Gold Standard for BasicsYou go here for one thing: The Mussels.Order the Moules Spéciales (mussels steamed with celery, onions, and butter). They are consistently fresh because the turnover here is so high—they go through tons of mussels a day.They are classic Belgian style—thick, double-fried, and perfectly salty.If you aren't in the mood for a giant pot of mussels, try the Mussels au Gratin (baked with garlic butter and cheese) or their Tomato Crevette (shrimp-stuffed tomato).They brew their own light, refreshing beer called Léon which is specifically designed to cut through the richness of the butter and fries.The "Formule Léon": This is one of the best deals in central Brussels. For around €15–€18, you usually get a solid portion of mussels, fries, and a beer.A huge perk if you’re traveling with family—children under 12 often eat for free when accompanied by an adult.You want the quintessential "Mussels in Brussels" experience without the stress of being ripped off by a low-quality tourist trap. It’s reliable, historic, and fun.You want a quiet, intimate meal or "fine dining" service. It can feel a bit like a factory during peak hours.It’s right next to the Grand Place, so it’s perfect for a meal after seeing the square. If you want to avoid the heaviest crowds, try going for an early lunch or a late dinner (they stay open late!).

It is arguably the most famous spot in the city for moules-frites, and while its location on Rue des Bouchers, walking into Chez Léon feels like stepping into a well-oiled machine that hasn't stopped since 1893. It’s loud, fast-paced, and massive—spread across several interconnected historic houses.It’s not a "romantic candlelit dinner" spot. It’s a "clinking beer glasses and steaming pots of mussels" spot. Expect paper placemats, brisk service, and a lively mix of tourists and locals.The waiters are professionals great service no wait for the meals they are generally friendly if you catch their eye.The Gold Standard for BasicsYou go here for one thing: The Mussels.Order the Moules Spéciales (mussels steamed with celery, onions, and butter). They are consistently fresh because the turnover here is so high—they go through tons of mussels a day.They are classic Belgian style—thick, double-fried, and perfectly salty.If you aren't in the mood for a giant pot of mussels, try the Mussels au Gratin (baked with garlic butter and cheese) or their Tomato Crevette (shrimp-stuffed tomato).They brew their own light, refreshing beer called Léon which is specifically designed to cut through the richness of the butter and fries.The "Formule Léon": This is one of the best deals in central Brussels. For around €15–€18, you usually get a solid portion of mussels, fries, and a beer.A huge perk if you’re traveling with family—children under 12 often eat for free when accompanied by an adult.You want the quintessential "Mussels in Brussels" experience without the stress of being ripped off by a low-quality tourist trap. It’s reliable, historic, and fun.You want a quiet, intimate meal or "fine dining" service. It can feel a bit like a factory during peak hours.It’s right next to the Grand Place, so it’s perfect for a meal after seeing the square. If you want to avoid the heaviest crowds, try going for an early lunch or a late dinner (they stay open late!).

Grand classique. Plein de touriste. En général cuisine belge classique. Le restaurant reste ouvert entre midi et le soir.

This was the first place we visited after arriving, found by chance while walking around. It was very crowded, so we guessed it must be good..The mussels with cheese were tasty, though the mussels were a bit less fresh than at another place we went to the next day.The Leon beer is a must-try 🍻🍻

예약없이 갔습니다. 바로 입장가능했어요.워낙 유명한 곳이고 인종차별 못 느꼈고 아시아인이 꽤 많았어요. 홍합치즈너무 맛있으니 꼭 드세요 !!!

我們來自台灣高雄，第一次來比利時，搜尋這家百年名店很棒，所以先來預訂，果然沒有讓我們失望，很好吃生意非常好，總共有三層樓，滿滿滿滿的人，推薦可以來吃美味的淡菜！

J’ai ADORÉ! Personnellement, je ne suis pas fan des moules. Mais c’était exquis! Des huîtres, au murailles qui décorent le restaurant et leurs hommages au schtroumpfs, cette endroit est un petit musée belge en lui même! Sans oublier que nos serveurs on était tellement chaleureux et amicale! (Honorable mention à Sébastien et Larsen qui on était si gentille!) J‘espère pouvoir revenir bientôt :)
