The legend of a famous restaurant in Brussels that is over 100 years old

#Review of delicious restaurants Chez Leon is an old restaurant in Brussels that was opened in 1888 by Léon Vanlancker. It started as a small fried food shop with only 5 tables, and then expanded from generation to generation until it became a famous large restaurant that both tourists and locals know well. It is also the origin of the French food franchise Léon de Bruxelles, which has branches in many cities in France and Belgium. But if you want a classic atmosphere that is the charm of a legendary restaurant, you have to come to the original restaurant in Brussels. We like the decoration of the restaurant that maintains the old-fashioned style. There is also an area to display collectibles related to Belgium, such as collections from the cartoons Tintin and Smurfs. It's very cute. The restaurant's menu offers both Belgian/French dishes, original recipes, as well as various seafood and mussels, which are a famous food of Belgium. For this meal, we ordered the following: ➡️ Moules-frites Of course, we had to try the mussel menu. There are many menus to choose from here. We tried the Ardennaises, a creamy sauce mixed with white wine, small pieces of bacon and mushrooms, served with fresh crispy French fries. It was as delicious as its name suggests. ➡️ Bouillabaisse "Chez Leon" Let's try some southern French food. This dish is seafood, shrimp, mussels, fish and squid, cooked in a tomato-based sauce like stew. The taste is very good. Served with crispy bread, grated cheese and roux. Dipping the bread in the sauce is also a good combination. I like it. Because this restaurant has been famous for a long time and the price is quite reasonable (compared to the cost of living in Brussels), it is always crowded. You should make a reservation before going. #100TravelTips #EuropeTravel #BelgiumTravel
