Información
"CHEZ LEON", probably the most typical Belgian restaurant of the world! Within a stone's throw from the Brussels' Grand-Place, CHEZ LEON features 420 seats located in 9 historical houses. It all started in 1893 with just five tables, but through its simplicity, its direct and warm welcome and its picturesque atmosphere, CHEZ LEON has won the hearts of the national and international public with its Belgian cuisine.
The Atmosphere of Chez Léon: At the heart of this neighbourhood, the Léon restaurant, temple of mussels and chips, has been in existence for more than 100 years. It invokes the idea of la Belgique Joyeuse (joyful Belgium) and represents one of the flowers of the national gastronomy. Home of excellent Brussels cuisine, this restaurant has managed to gain the sympathy of the general public and can satisfy the standards of the greatest gourmet. Simplicity, a warm welcome and a picturesque atmosphere are all used to convince the customer of its worth.
Ketjes of Brussels: There have always been funny Brussels ketjes [local types] not only Manneken-Pis. Léon Vanlancker was one of those. When he opened his first restaurant in 1867, simplicity and a picturesque atmosphere were already present. Twenty-five years later, Léon moved a few blocks to the rue des Bouchers. There he opened a typical café with about five tables which carried his name – “Friture Léon”.
Over the years, the inhabitants of Brussels, travellers and those just passing through increased in number. Léon expanded. The dishes were often served at local festivals. The years passed and Léon became, at the very heart of the Ilôt Sacré in Brussels , as famous as Manneken-Pis. From noon to midnight , customers were served in an atmosphere of good humour and simplicity. Every day, more than one thousand meals are served with a smile. The tablecloths are made of paper, the service is snappy, the kitchen looks out directly onto the dining area and everyone enjoys their meal in the best of humour.
