Kuifje en Hergé
De Avonturen van Kuifje is een reeks van 24 stripverhalen, bedacht door de Belgische striptekenaar Georges Remi, die onder het pseudoniem Hergé schreef. De reeks behoorde tot de populairste Europese strips van de twintigste eeuw. In 2007, een eeuw na de geboorte van Hergé, was Kuifje in meer dan 70 talen gepubliceerd en waren er meer dan 200 miljoen exemplaren van verkocht. De verhalen werden bewerkt voor radio, televisie, theater en film.
De reeks dwong bewondering af wegens de heldere, expressieve tekeningen in de typische klare lijn-stijl (ligne claire) van Hergé. De doordachte intriges combineren uiteenlopende genres, zoals roekeloze avonturen met fantasy-elementen, mysteries, politieke thrillers en sciencefiction. In de verhalen zit ook slapstickhumor, afgewisseld met een zweem verfijnde satire en politieke of culturele commentaren.
De Vanlanckers zijn vurige fans van Hergé. Daarom brengen we hem hulde door de raket uit de albums “Raket naar de Maan” en “Mannen op de Maan” tentoon te stellen bij de ingang van ons restaurant. U kunt er niet naast kijken.

Ça n’enlève rien au fait qu’on a passé une super soirée avec un très bon service.

Un restaurante turístico en el centro de Bruselas. Comimos muy bien unas ostras, muy buenas y croquetas de aperitivo. De platos fuertes el filete a la pimienta que estaba bien, un lenguado meniure y dorado a la parrilla. El mesero muy amable. El único punto negativo es que cerca de nuestra mesa estaba el cajón de los cubiertos y cada que guardaban o sacaban algo lo hacían con mucho ruido.

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. 🥩🍟

Service super, Location ebenso schön, wenn man draußen kein Problem mit vielen Menschen hat, die an einem vorbeilaufen.

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.

J ai voulu tester les fameuses moules frites de chez Léon et je n ai vraiment pas été déçue les moules marinières sont top nous nous sommes régalés, le prix de la formule reste abordable, Dommage que ce ne soit pas à volonté, petit bémol pour l ambiance trop bruyante. Service rapide et efficace.

Mussels were good and kids love fries. Fish was fantastic. Bolognese Pasta was not what we have expected though.

The restaurant is just perfect. Delicious food, friendly stuff, and a magnificent atmosphere remember the good old days. I really don't understand why some people rated this restaurant so low.

Service super, Location ebenso schön, wenn man draußen kein Problem mit vielen Menschen hat, die an einem vorbeilaufen. Leider waren die Muscheln nicht ganz so lecker, wie man auf den ersten Blick hätte meinen können, was jedoch nichts über die anderen Gerichte auf der Karte aussagt.Adresse: Rue des Bouchers 18, 1000 Brüssel – nur wenige Schritte vom historischen Grand‑Place entferntFamilienbetrieb seit 1893, gestartet mit gerade mal fünf Tischen, heute auf neun Gebäude erweitert und serviert täglich über 1.000 GästeNostalgisch eingerichtetes Interieur mit Holzbalken, Familienfotos, Original-Menus an den Wänden somit gemütlich und authentisch

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!

• Mussels are fresh and delicious, especially with the marinières sauce.• Good service and nice atmosphere.• I personally don’t recommend the pasta. The pasta was overcooked, and did not go well with the sauce.

Bonne nourriture, endroit très spacieux et agréable, mais certains serveurs ne sont pas très sympathiques et ont une attitude moqueuse envers les touristes.

Très bon restaurant, connaissant déjà certaines franchises en France, mais là c'est le meilleur, moules excellentes et fraîches, et le steak de dinde est juste parfait.Frites, j'apprécie moins par contre.Bravo pour la décoration, je recommande la soupe a l'oignon.

Une très bonne adresse à Bruxelles pour les amateurs de fruits de mer ! Les moules étaient délicieuses, bien préparées et savoureuses. L’ambiance est agréable et le service correct.

Fair waitress, we didn’t know the set we ordered includes a beer so we ordered another one, saying that we will share a beer. And the waiter only gave us one beer which is what we originally wanted and charged us the price difference between the included one and the one we ordered.

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.

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.
