Katie B.

Great Mussels spot in Paris to dine. Friendly staff. Sat outside on a small patio. The mussels were delicious.

Super French country restaurant. We were recommended to go to this restaurant by the locals and while we struggled with the menu the staff was super kind and helpful. The food was fresh and accurate

Doesn't look like much from the outside but inside is a huge restaurant that resembles a TGIF American restaurant! Their speciality seem to be moules et frites that's why we decided to try it out! The mussels came in these piping out casseroles! Ranging from €13.90-€17.90! Overall everything tasted great! They could perhaps update their decor a little bit! Will def come back to try out their other flavours! Mussels came with unlimited fries and rolls. We barely able to finish ours!

We looked for a lunch spot and found this place. The service was good and the ambiance was better. Besides ordering food, this place is a decent place to have a conversation with people enjoying each other's company.

I give a five stars because the mussels was fresh with good flavor and has a good amount to fill my empty stomach. Plus the calamari was fresh and crunchy. The waiter was super nice and the service was quick and the price was affordable. The view wasn't good outside but it's ok.

Mussels of different style of cooking. Not far from where we are staying and too tired to lineup for food, came here for a quick bite, ambience looks like a bar, but the place is huge inside. Service was quick, gave good suggestions. Had the Leon style mussels and fish and chips, both very good.

Beer is cheap too.

Best Leon in Paris. No tourist trap, accepting Leon fidelity program and 15% off if you sign up one day before and receive your coupon by email. They offer better choice wider selection and most of all 6 to 8 euros cheaper per item than the one on Champs-Elysées. Try their 20 euros combo And please do not give any tips in France. You are destroying the local étiquettes and economy by bringing your American habit. The tip is already included in the price you pay (14% sometimes 17%). Pls do not ever pay additional tips because you are making the servers to expect more while they have already being paid for their work including retirement, social security in their salary. You are also disrespecting the local custom and economic dynamic. Also not because the meal is cheap for your standard you feel you are contributing to give tips. You make the locals unable to enjoy the meal the way it is. Don't introduce your tipping habit into a country where tips aren't expected and makes the local unable to go to the restaurant. Again the tips are already included in the price you pay. Just like the tax. In France the tax is included in the price that you see on the menu. Would you force to pay more tax after you have already paid your tax with the pricing on the menu? No. So don't do the same with the tips. Thanks

Salmon ceviche

Great food! Packed at 11pm. The mussels did not disappoint! Leon muscles with white wine sauce! Service was a bit slow but we showed up at 11pm so I don't blame them. Staff was very nice and helpful with me having broken French. Facilities were quaint like a true French bistro!

My first-night walk-in here. I got attracted by the mussel pictures. Came in and ordered pasta. They didn't tell me they were out of mussels. Made me shrimp with rice instead. Charged me the same amount of money. I saw the other table came in later than me but they were eating mussels...... a Very disappointing experience.

Fish and chips
Zachary M.

This was probably my favorite fish and chips ever up until now!!!!! Their tartar sauce was also so flavorful! The mojito was great as well, not as well mixed as I would've preferred, but hey, I had a spoon so I mixed it myself. I love the atmosphere of Paris dining also. They want you to dine in and experience the food and culture, as not many places have takeout we learned, but rightfully so. The seafood is so fresh here, and the Le Creme Brûlée was so flavorful. I didn't like creme brûlée until I had this one, and I've been comparing everyone to theirs! Lol so good, lovely vintage atmosphere and great culture. Can't wait to go back!!

Curry mussels, fries and a glass of champagne
Nyota W.

If you have a love of mussels like I do, Leon de bruxelles is always a good option. They offer lots of different flavor options and let's be honest- this is what they specialize in. It is a bit of a chain, which can be a turnoff if you are into more unique, independent operations, but their formula works. This time I ordered the curry mussels. I probably would recommend trying another flavor, but this is not a bad option. Good service, great outdoor seating and worth the visit.

We had an amazing waitress who was just on point with all our needs even after she was given a 25-person table once our group of 4 was seated. I can't even begin to describe the food as it was exactly what it looked like and what we wanted. In my mafaldine al tartufo avec jambon a la truffe d'ete, it had the perfect amount of truffle and saltiness - especially with the jambon topping. The moules a la creme and moules pasta was bountiful and fresh. The fresh brick-oven-cooked pizza was outstanding and also deserving of equal praise. The inside of the restaurant is warmly lit and inviting to any sized groups wanting to try out this place. Would recommend and come back again when shopping Champs-Elysées!

The steak was all right and my husband loved the mussels. I did like that they did have a great Belgian cherry beer...that was delicious. It was nice sitting outside and the waiter was fairly efficient although a little indifferent. If you are here for mussels, you'll probably like this a lot. Otherwise, you'll probably feel that it's okay, but not a standout compared to some other places we ate in Paris.

Upon walking in, we realized this was a neighborhood treasure, full of locals enjoying a slowed-down and capital-L Lunch. I started with the delicious Pork Terrine with Endive Salad. It was hearty and full of meaty flavor. My husband ordered the Butternut Squash Soup which looked impeccable, and was incredibly flavorful. I ordered the Grilled Veal Kidneys w/ Miso + Scallion and Mashed Potatoes. It was savory, rich, and so delicately balanced. Kidneys aren't typically my go-to order, but I figured that they were in very capable hands at Comme chez Maman, and I was right. My husband ordered the Duck Confit with Celery Root + Mashed Potatoes, which he loved, too. Service was pretty good, but what struck me the most was how much everyone was enjoying their dining experience around us. Everyone was so happy and leisurely enjoying their meals.
