Theater Toone
Theater Toone zag het licht in 1830 toen Antoine ‘Toone’ Genty het eerste traditionele poppentheater opende.
Een poppentheater voor volwassenen, uniek in de wereld, op een boogscheut van het mooiste plein ter wereld. De stukken zijn nu in verschillende talen vertaald.
Nicolas Géal, omringd door zes poppenspelers, bewerkt beroemde stukken in alle theaterstijlen, van “Romeo en Julia” tot “Dracula”, “Faust” of “Carmen”.
Bij Léon hebben we de zeer grote eer van mijnheer Géal, de zevende met die naam, de pop Harlekijn te hebben ontvangen.
Voor het honderdjarige bestaan van ons etablissement werd een pop gemaakt van onze mascotte ‘Léon de Mossel’.

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!

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.

It is very old fashioned amd nice place. But I will not say the same for food and service. We ordered mussels and spaghetti. There is no any special taste unfortunately especially spaghetti is very bad experience. But mussels was good.Beside this, service was not good. It was delayed and the waiter was so nervous. Just as, he wants us to go out fastly and receipt bill without request :)Prices are not cheap and you can find better alternatives around.

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.

Very poor management and extremely disappointing service. We ordered beef tartare with a staff member named Denis, but after following up 3 times, he kept saying “with my colleague” and never actually took action. Nothing moved forward at all.We also did not receive the complimentary bread, which should have been provided. When we tried to ask for the bill, we were again told to “ask my colleague.” There was no ownership, no responsibility, and no proper service.Not recommended.

An institution, a place to try once, no need to come again.The food is most likely of a good quality but because of the sheer volume and customers it always arrived lukewarm, it may be less of an issue in summer time but in winter when you have garlic butter sauce that starts to go back to butter while you are on your second bite, that is quite an issue, same goes for the fries, hot fries are fantastic, when they get colder... not so much.However it's fun to see how they used 3 or 4 different house buildings and turned them into one utterly massive restaurant, should you tell me that some guests got lost on their way to the toilets I would believe you.

We visited Chez Léon because it is known for its long-standing tradition and experience in the city. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The place was extremely crowded, and the service was not up to standard. There was a strong, unpleasant smell, and the tables were placed very close to each other, which made the experience uncomfortable. We ordered the classic mussels, but they were not as tasty as we had expected. The overall concept and design of the place are interesting and visually appealing.

Very poor management and extremely disappointing service. We ordered beef tartare with a staff member named Denis, but after following up 3 times, he kept saying “with my colleague” and never actually took action. Nothing moved forward at all.We also did not receive the complimentary bread, which should have been provided. When we tried to ask for the bill, we were again told to “ask my colleague.” There was no ownership, no responsibility, and no proper service.Not recommended.

Servicio bueno, ambiente muy ruidoso, comida "decente" pero no deja de ser una trampa para turistas.

Amo los gatos 💖 y este espacio compartido con ellos y con su dueño, es hermoso, te tomás un café o gaseosa o cerveza, comés algo y compartís con esos seres tan mágicos...

ここは何を食べても美味しい！他の店は観光って感じだけど、少し奥に入るだけだが、ローカルの人に勧められて来た。何もかも素晴らしかった。

Sarımsaklı ve peynirli midyeleri bizim damak tadımıza çok uygun💜💫 o yüzden bir tur daha sipariş ettik, tatlı bir ortam

An institution, a place to try once, no need to come again.The food is most likely of a good quality but because of the sheer volume and customers it always arrived lukewarm, it may be less of an issue in summer time but in winter when you have garlic butter sauce that starts to go back to butter while you are on your second bite, that is quite an issue, same goes for the fries, hot fries are fantastic, when they get colder... not so much.However it's fun to see how they used 3 or 4 different house buildings and turned them into one utterly massive restaurant, should you tell me that some guests got lost on their way to the toilets I would believe you.

Salata yanlış bir seçimdi. Midye güzeldi. Garson çok kibar ve yardımcıydı. Özellikle titizdi.

We visited Chez Léon because it is known for its long-standing tradition and experience in the city. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The place was extremely crowded, and the service was not up to standard. There was a strong, unpleasant smell, and the tables were placed very close to each other, which made the experience uncomfortable. We ordered the classic mussels, but they were not as tasty as we had expected. The overall concept and design of the place are interesting and visually appealing.

La comida esta bien, rica. Sin embargo hasta que pides la comida y te la traen pasa mínimo 1 hora, no lo recomiendo si no tienes mucho tiempo.

저희가 주문 실수를 했는데도 웃으면서 주문을 바꿔주고 친절하게 서비스 해주셨어요! 맛도 훌륭합니다. 또 다시 여행오게된다면 다시 꼭 오고싶어요.

J'y ai été pour dîner avec un groupe dans le cadre d'un voyage erasmus. On a réservé er on a été très bien accueillis, ambiance chaleureuse et service rapide malgré le fait que le restaurant soit bondé. On a été servis par Mika, super accueillant et gentil. Repas copieux et bons, je recommande, restaurant très bien placé et spacieux.

Très bonnes croquettes de crevettes accompagnées de très bonnes frites. Un peu déçue par la salade d’accompagnement et de la mayonnaise qui n’etait pas maison. Vous feriez un plat identique avec 2 croquettes et un prix un peu plus bas cela conviendrait parfaitement plutôt que 3 croquettes pour unPlat à 30 euros par personne. Un peu cher, c’est dommage.

Toujours très heureux de s’y rendre. Même si les prix sont assez élevés

this restaurant offers more than just a good meal: it provides an authentic immersion into the spirit of Brussels, a place where gastronomy, hospitality, and atmosphere come together at a high level. An experience worth living—and returning to.
