Manneken-Pis
Manneken Pis is een iconisch bronzen standbeeldje (61 cm) in Brussel. Het stelt een naakt jongetje voor dat in het bekken van een fontein plast. Het beeld werd door Hiëronymus Duquesnoy de Oudere ontworpen en in 1618 of 1619 geplaatst. Het huidige standbeeld dateert uit 1965.
Manneken Pis is het bekendste symbool van de Brusselaars. Het beeld belichaamt ook hun gevoel voor humor (‘zwanze’ in het Brusselse dialect) en hun onafhankelijkheid van geest.
Een knipoogje bij Léon, waar we ons geliefkoosde ‘ketje’ hebben gereproduceerd.

Ik kwam hier vast al 20 keer, bij Léon, in de Beenhouwersstraat. Ofwel: in hartje Brussel, dat voor mij altijd als op reis zijn aanvoelt. Frequent nuttig ik hier met vrienden op zaterdag in de late middag twee garnaalkroketjes en een rum-cola zero – en frequenter nog omgekeerde aantallen. Om vervolgens later op de dag elders voor echt te gaan eten. Een steak-friet daarentegen at ik bij Léon dus nog nooit. Toen echter bleek dat men hier onder de 20 euro zat voor het gerecht der gerechten, maakte mijn hart een sprong. En alvorens het terug geland was op mijn diafragma, zat ik al op de trein richting Brussel Centraal.Chez Léon is één van de weinige zaken in deze buurt, samen met Aux Armes de Bruxelles, die zich niet (louter) op toeristen richten, maar ook veel vaste klandizie kennen. En bij Léon kan er wat klandizie binnen. Altijd veel volk en toch altijd veel plaats! En alle dagen open, nooit gesloten! De zaak ademt traditie. Met zwierige obers in klassieke pakken – wij proberen altijd te manoeuvreren tot we door de grootste bon vivant onder hen bediend worden. En met gouden plaatjes tegen de muur die herinneren aan roemrijke bezoekers. Zoals Koning Filip!Enfin, in die steak-friet van 19,75 euro zit dus heel veel ambiance inbegrepen. Verder is de steak gewoon goed. Met aan de pluszijde een goede grillsmaak. En aan de minzijde een bite die qua droogte weliswaar niet doet denken aan de Atacama-woestijn maar in Wādī Ḥalfā, de op enkel na droogste plek ter wereld, toch redelijk goed zou blenden. Ook qua groenten is het gerecht wel erg basis. De frieten daarentegen die zijn elke calorie waard. Godgans goed! Bij de beste dikke frieten in ons land. Logisch, want de hoofdzaak hier. Lekkere mayonaise is evident inbegrepen.“Als je Brussel wilt zien leven, hoef je niet veel geld uit te geven.” Zo bezong Johan Verminnen in 1989 de Beenhouwersstraat in Brussel. In deze zaak klopt dat nog altijd. Met grote complimenten voor de frieten.Check tientallen andere steak-friet-recensies op mijn Instagram-pagina @stijn_j_baert. 🥩🍟

沒有到很貴，有不同料理方式的淡菜。可以滿足不同口味還附上滿滿薯條，可以讓人吃個粗飽。不過歐洲菜就是那樣。建議點個最基本款嚐鮮即可The prices are quite reasonable, and the mussels come in a variety of cooking styles to suit different tastes. They also come with a generous portion of fries,perfect for a filling meal.That said, European cuisine tends to be on that way, so if it’s your first time, I’d recommend starting with the classic version to get a feel for the flavor.

La nostra esperienza da Chez Léon, famoso per le moules-frites e l’atmosfera belga verace, è stata in generale positiva: il cibo era buono, il personale gentile e l’ambiente vivace, anche se un po’ turistico (ma ci sta, è un’istituzione a Bruxelles!).Tuttavia, i tempi di attesa sono stati piuttosto lunghi. Quello che ci è piaciuto meno è che ci hanno chiesto di lasciare il passeggino all’ingresso, il che sarebbe anche comprensibile per motivi di spazio… peccato che il nostro bimbo di 5 mesi stava dormendo, e ho dovuto tenerlo in braccio per tutto il pranzo, anche durante l’attesa delle pietanze, che è stata davvero lunga. 😮💨Insomma: mangiare bene sì, ma se andate con un neonato o bambini piccoli, magari valutate se è il posto più comodo.Perfetto per gli amanti della cucina tipica belga… ma meglio andarci con le braccia libere!

If you’re traveling to Brussels, highly recommend this century old Belgian restaurant, Chez Léon, to experience the classic combo of traditional Belgian mussels with fries and local beer.Conveniently located just steps from the Grand Place. The interior is spacious with vibrant décor and a bustling atmosphere. The service is attentive and friendly. The place is very popular and often packed, so it’s best to make a reservation in advance.[Moules au Vin Blanc] – Mussels in White WineThe mussels are plump and fresh, cooked in a creamy sauce with onions, celery, and a hint of white wine. Flavorful, aromatic, and incredibly satisfying.They also offer great value set menus:Formule Léon – 500g of mussels, fries, and a glass of beer. A fantastic deal![Daurade Royale] – Grilled Sea BreamTasty, though a bit on the pricey side, honestly, you might skip it and order another pot of mussels instead.[Carbonnades à la Flamande] – Flemish Beer Braised BeefRich in flavor, with tender beef and a subtle beer aroma. Generous portion, great for sharing, a solid choice if you’re craving meat.With so many local Belgian beers to choose from, we asked the staff for recommendations , and to our surprise, they offered us free tasting samples! A nice touch.Chez Léon offers the full Belgian food experience, classic dishes, generous portions, and warm service in a lively, traditional setting. Definitely worth a stop when in Brussels!Recommended Dishes：👍🏻 Moules au vin blanc👍🏻 Fornule Léon👍🏻 Carbonnades à la Flamande👍🏻 Biere Léon🆗 Daurade Royale🆗 Lasagne🆗 Spaghetti Bolognese🆗 Brugs

The vibrant atmosphere of this restaurant makes reminds me of the city vibe. The hustle and bustle of the waiters, the good mood, the clatter of cutlery all have their charm. If you want a quiet place to eat, this is not the place. But if you are looking for a place with tasty and fresh traditional food, this is the place. Complet Leon, Demi poulet salad and lapin a la kriek were our choices. We were lucky to find a free table for dinner without a reservation, but I wouldn't try my luck a second time.

My wife and I recently visited Chez Léon in Brussels and had a pleasant experience. The restaurant has a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, which made it a nice place to enjoy our meal. The food was well-prepared and tasted fresh. Everything we ordered was served at the right temperature and nicely presented.What stood out the most was the service. The staff were polite, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. They took the time to explain the menu when we had questions and made sure we had everything we needed during the meal. It felt like they genuinely cared about offering good service.The location is very central and easy to reach, which is convenient if you're exploring the city. Although the restaurant was busy, the service remained quick and friendly, and we didn’t feel rushed at any point.Overall, we had a good dining experience. The mix of tasty food, a welcoming environment, and friendly service made it a place we’d gladly return to. If you’re in Brussels and looking for a well-run restaurant with solid service and a comfortable setting, Chez Léon is a good choice.

Huh? I was worried because I heard there was racism, but there really wasn't any, and they are so kind........ When eating, they asked if there was anything inconvenient, and when I looked like I needed a plate and ketchup, they brought it to me without me asking, and told me that it would be more comfortable if I ate like this... Everyone really thought of me as a daughter🥹 I heard that Belgium has a lot of racism, but the food here is delicious and the atmosphere is great🫶🏻 I want to bring my family next time!!!!!

Average touristy restaurant, food is OK enough but very expensive for what it was. More authentic restaurants in the city are not open until 6pm for dinner, and I had to rush for the Eurostar. Better attention to detail needed, had to ask for some crusty bread and water, this is fairly standard stuff on the continent! Had to use my phone data to get an English menu translation.

J’ai été chez Léon, une première fois avec une amie. Le repas était très bon par contre le service assez expéditif. Le serveur venait pour reprendre nos plats même lorsque ceux ci n’étaient pas totalement terminés à vu d’œil et sans nous demander si nous avions terminés. J’ai eu le même coup en revenant avec un groupe d’amies une deuxième fois. Serveur expéditif. Ca ne me donne pas envie de revenir. Dommage car la nourriture était bonne.

Sin duda repetiría. Restaurante idóneo y de confianza para comer un plato típico de bruselas como el stoemp. (Como otros tantos que tienen en la carta.) Considerable ración por un precio acorde. Servicio y ambiente muy buenos. ¡Recomendado!

We visited for dinner on 1 June based purely on Google and TripAdvisor reviewsThe restaurant is huge with many seating areas. We were seated quite close to the kitchen and server station which was quite noisy.My wife and I had mussels dishes and my daughter had the seafood pasta. The food was really good and well prepared.The staff was friendly and service was efficient.

If you’re traveling to Brussels, highly recommend this century old Belgian restaurant, Chez Léon, to experience the classic combo of traditional Belgian mussels with fries and local beer.Conveniently located just steps from the Grand Place. The interior is spacious with vibrant décor and a bustling atmosphere. The service is attentive and friendly. The place is very popular and often packed, so it’s best to make a reservation in advance.[Moules au Vin Blanc] – Mussels in White WineThe mussels are plump and fresh, cooked in a creamy sauce with onions, celery, and a hint of white wine. Flavorful, aromatic, and incredibly satisfying.They also offer great value set menus:Formule Léon – 500g of mussels, fries, and a glass of beer. A fantastic deal![Daurade Royale] – Grilled Sea BreamTasty, though a bit on the pricey side, honestly, you might skip it and order another pot of mussels instead.[Carbonnades à la Flamande] – Flemish Beer Braised BeefRich in flavor, with tender beef and a subtle beer aroma. Generous portion, great for sharing, a solid choice if you’re craving meat.With so many local Belgian beers to choose from, we asked the staff for recommendations , and to our surprise, they offered us free tasting samples! A nice touch.Chez Léon offers the full Belgian food experience, classic dishes, generous portions, and warm service in a lively, traditional setting. Definitely worth a stop when in Brussels!Recommended Dishes：👍🏻 Moules au vin blanc👍🏻 Fornule Léon👍🏻 Carbonnades à la Flamande👍🏻 Biere Léon🆗 Daurade Royale🆗 Lasagne🆗 Spaghetti Bolognese🆗 Brugs

Decided to stop by to try one of Belgium’s national dishes, mussels. Walked in with no reservation. This restaurant is huge, so if there is a line, it will be quick. The mussels were fresh and fries were crispy. Staff were friendly and attentive.

음식은 그닥나쁘지않았다 한국이랑 홍합탕이 다르다는데.... 안먹어본건지... 홍합탕에 파 들어가고 양념이 조금더되었다 굳이 이것보단 .... 스파게티 먹어라

The vibrant atmosphere of this restaurant makes reminds me of the city vibe. The hustle and bustle of the waiters, the good mood, the clatter of cutlery all have their charm. If you want a quiet place to eat, this is not the place. But if you are looking for a place with tasty and fresh traditional food, this is the place. Complet Leon, Demi poulet salad and lapin a la kriek were our choices. We were lucky to find a free table for dinner without a reservation, but I wouldn't try my luck a second time.

My wife and I recently visited Chez Léon in Brussels and had a pleasant experience. The restaurant has a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, which made it a nice place to enjoy our meal. The food was well-prepared and tasted fresh. Everything we ordered was served at the right temperature and nicely presented.What stood out the most was the service. The staff were polite, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. They took the time to explain the menu when we had questions and made sure we had everything we needed during the meal. It felt like they genuinely cared about offering good service.The location is very central and easy to reach, which is convenient if you're exploring the city. Although the restaurant was busy, the service remained quick and friendly, and we didn’t feel rushed at any point.Overall, we had a good dining experience. The mix of tasty food, a welcoming environment, and friendly service made it a place we’d gladly return to. If you’re in Brussels and looking for a well-run restaurant with solid service and a comfortable setting, Chez Léon is a good choice.

Huh? I was worried because I heard there was racism, but there really wasn't any, and they are so kind........ When eating, they asked if there was anything inconvenient, and when I looked like I needed a plate and ketchup, they brought it to me without me asking, and told me that it would be more comfortable if I ate like this... Everyone really thought of me as a daughter🥹 I heard that Belgium has a lot of racism, but the food here is delicious and the atmosphere is great🫶🏻 I want to bring my family next time!!!!!

Quand j'ai envie de moules-frites, même si c'est touristique, ça reste efficace ! Les moules sont généreusement servies, et les frites sont bien croustillantes, comme il faut pour saucer la sauce des moules.

Average touristy restaurant, food is OK enough but very expensive for what it was. More authentic restaurants in the city are not open until 6pm for dinner, and I had to rush for the Eurostar. Better attention to detail needed, had to ask for some crusty bread and water, this is fairly standard stuff on the continent! Had to use my phone data to get an English menu translation.

The restaurant is nice, however the staff is very busy. Please be aware that sitting on the 1st floor there is no air condutioning. I would stringly advise to book the table. We had a very good servicer- Tim from New Zealand, I would highly recommend him to have a table at his correr- very polite, quick to action, responsable and does a job very good.

Fantastyczne miejsce. Pełne klimatu, tradycji i przede wszystkim smaków. Mule, gulasz, piwo, wino po prostu obłędne. Przesympatyczni kelnerzy i bardzo dużo miejsca nawet dla dużych grup. Usytuowane w pieknej części Brukseli. Warte kazdych pieniędzy. Serdecznie polecam !!!

J’ai été chez Léon, une première fois avec une amie. Le repas était très bon par contre le service assez expéditif. Le serveur venait pour reprendre nos plats même lorsque ceux ci n’étaient pas totalement terminés à vu d’œil et sans nous demander si nous avions terminés. J’ai eu le même coup en revenant avec un groupe d’amies une deuxième fois. Serveur expéditif. Ca ne me donne pas envie de revenir. Dommage car la nourriture était bonne.

This restaurant has a long history. While the service was commendable, the food did not quite meet our expectations. The onion soup, unfortunately, lacked flavor, and the meatball and spaghetti were rather average.

Un lugar agradable, con comida rica. Para cuatro comensales elegimos:- Pasta León- Mejillones gratinados al ajillo y- Steak,todos ellos muy recomendables. Las patatas que acompañan los platos principales tienen el sabor típico de la fritura en grasa animal.Para beber, recomendable probar la cerveza LA LEÓN, un buen acompañamiento para comidas, una cerveza suave, propia del restaurante.Un trato atento y profesional por parte del personal.Precio aproximado por persona 30€.Muy recomendable

A great place with great simple food and super service. The only gripe is that their salads have quite a lot of dressing applied and with hindsight, it'd be better to have on the side. I'd recommend eating here

I'm surprised the reviews here aren't higher. The food was amazing truly delicious! The shrimp croquette is a must try, and the mussels with cheese were incredibly tasty.

Rezervasyon yaptırmadan “hadi gidip şansımızı deneyelim” dedik ve iyi ki de öyle yapmışız :) Yemekler gerçekten çok lezzetliydi. Midyeler, beyaz şarap ve özel bir sosla hazırlanıyor; enfesti. "Karbonade" adlı et yemeği de çok lezzetliydi. Fiyatlar oldukça uygun, ortam da çok keyifliydi. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim!
