Chez Léon Review

Think of it as the mussels from Brussels. This big, basic restaurant is the city's most single-minded purveyor of that marine delicacy. Léon has been flexing its mussels since 1893 and now has clones all over Belgium, among them one at the Bruparck amusements complex. The mollusks in question are top quality, at low prices, in a variety of styles, such as moules marinières (mussels boiled in vegetable stock) and moules au vin blanc (mussels in white-wine sauce). If you don't like mussels, the menu features plenty of other fishy delights -- including eels in green sauce, cod, and bouillabaisse.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
