Superb place! The fact that no one is trying to push you in, is reason enough to try it. But the food and service is really good too! Try it!
The waiter is very nice and helpful. I ate a beef that was perfectly medium baked as requested. The plate was full enough with food, the fries are good. On the next stay in Brussels we will go back.
Nothing better than trying a good local restaurant , I had "A la provençale" it was AMAZING!! It's with butter, tomatoes , garlic & cheese !
Great mussels , take the 500g menu, it’s enough for one adult and the taste is amazing
The mussels , chips and a beer deal is good value !
Simple, fresh and very delicious . You can try "Aux Brussels de arm" if you prefer Fine dining Restaurant to eat mussel .
Amazing mussels ! Some crazy combinations but everything is sooo delicious! must try!
I think Leon is one of the best restaurants in town to eat muscles . My favorite menu is A l'escargot gratinees and french fries with a carafe of white wine .
Mussels , fish soup , mussels soup and homemade white wine . Absolute blast! And the waiter - kind, funny, gave us great recommendations!
Pricey than other mussels restaurants . One 800gr casserole/pot is around 25€ :/ But its tasty and worth to go. Buy less gift to your friends but try mussels (moules ) here.
Moules et frites . This is the place to get your mussels . Snail butter sauce with cheese or tomatoes for one. Grab another in a pot: soup , white wine . Try Leon beer .
If u r in Brussels for more than 2 days and if u have not visited yet.. feel sorry for you! try the classic mussels and the cherry beer - kriek.
The best mussels in Brussels ! They serve them in white wine or beer or you name it - lots of different recipes. Read more
Bucket of Mussels are the must have food here. there are some arguments how to eat mussels in proper way, but surrounded by bunch of tourists , couldn't find answer while my visit there.
Very touristy ! Make your reservation in advance but it’s worth it!
Amazing mussels with tomatoes and cheese perfectly accompanied with Belgian fries and fries 😍
Special menu (mussels+frites+beer) has a reasonable price. Take a table outside and enjoy your meal. No wifi !
If you are in Brussels, you must go to eat to Chez Leon! Very nice and tasteful mussels !!!
Well known for its mussels reputation. Delicious roquefort mussels with free french fries refills.
Nicest moules-frites place on this touristy street, not only 'les cocottes' (boiled in the pot) but also gratinated - moules ou gratin & moules escargot gratinées are yum. Avoid eel “au vert” though.
Friendly , easy dining experience. The mussels seemed fine to my inexperienced palate. OTOH the frites were pedestrian even by non-Belgian standards and dessert set new standards for rip-off.
Best mussels in Brussels ! Really good variety of dishes too. Service was exceptional!
Delicious mussels . Garlic and white wine , YUM. On Sunday's they have an all you can eat mussels menu with frites for €25.
Cheaper than the 'haggling' restaurants further down. Serve mussels all year round.. High volume... Mussels were good, friendly staff .. It is touristy but that's due to it having good food.
The mussels is a must eat. Absolutely mind blowing. Wait till you get down to the soup part!
Really good eats and the service was outstanding. Chez Leon beer was good too!
Yum yum yummy mussels 😋mache celery garlic mussels go with fries and belgium beer
Mussels , soups , drinks all of that in a traditional cozy place !!!
Nice atmosphere, good service and great food. The medium-rare duck breast in green pepper cream was amazing!
Amazingly good mussels ! Try the escargot gratinée mussles, they are delicious!
You want mussels , come here . You want soup , come here . You want drinks come here .
The mussels are fresh and the celery , butter garlic broth is amazing.
Very good mussels i loved the one with tomatoe sauce
Chez Leon lives up to it's amazing reputation. The mussels are fantastic. Very tasty. Steak tartar is made fresh practically right in front of you. Don't let the wait dissuade you. It's worth it.
Wow what a nice place. Mussels with white wine sauce was perfect. House wine is delicious as always.
The most classic of classic belgian cuisine. Come before 7.30 on weekends or you'll have to stand in line for a table
If you have to eat in the old town touristy area, this is the place to go. Good mussels and not TOO overpriced. Avoid places with a guy standing outside calling you in...
Terrible Experience!just wanted to try mousel w/my parents and would like to order 2 Mousel pots for us to try. But the intelligent waiter forced us to order 4 pots otherwise asked us to leave.Shame!
The mussels a l'escargot gratinée might be the best you've ever tasted.
Atmosphere, staff , mussels - all is great!
Very good quality mussels and a lovely atmosphere
A must-see place in Brussels. Moules-marinieres and french fries . Yummy. Some like steak as well . I prefer mussels and oysters . Finsh the meal with chocolate trufle.
If you wanna taste 'real' delicious mussels ,,you are in the right place 👌🏻(ps:dont forget to make reservation )
Street tables are cool, but you will have to deal with tons of tourists checking your food!
Great atmosphere and food! Money for value and taste!!
Excellent mussels and seafood ! A must try when you're in Brussels.
Food came very fast! A little bit too fast!! I didn't finished my soup yet, didn't get to start with the starters and they already brought the main course.. :(
Tasty food, friendly staff , good service . The price is higher than average, but it worth it.
It stands out in the area! Best choice:Mussels and fries !
