Great seafood place for seafood lovers. They are known for their mussels. I got the Pasta Leon and it did not disappoint, they put a lot of seafood in the linguini pasta. It came with butter and garlic cream sauce. Will definitely come back for their desserts. read more

Well below average food in an actual decent location. This place really has to step up a couple of things; A) the quality of the food and B) the service. Both the food and the service were pretty bad. Ordered some fried fish and have had the mussels here, the fried fish was well below average and the mussels were just average. The beer and outdoor seating was cool but the service here was extremely slow and unfriendly. Overall, there are plenty of better dining options in the area. Pros- Location Price Outdoor seating Cons- Taste Service Quality of food Cleanliness read more

Came in here to just get a quick snack. They had a special for about 16 euro for salad, meal, & dessert. No salad came (only realized this till after). My meal was the fish and chips, only had one filet. Guess that was due to it being a value meal, prob should've got the regular fish and chips instead. Took such a long time to getting the desert ordered and receiving it. Wife got the creme brulee in few minutes which was cool, but my coffee took such an unusual time. Even the patrons around me all got their coffee. I finally got my coffee, but was ready to get out of there. Service could be a LOT better... read more

Good selection and meal options. Had moules mariniere with ice cream for dessert. Both were very good and the price reasonable. If you want mussels this could be the place for you. read more

Pretty average restaurant. You come here to eat the mussels! The original steamed mussels with butter and herbs is good. Very fresh. The paella-like one with rice and spices was alright. The flavors were potent but not sure they went very well together. It was kind of bitter. There were also bits of sand/small pieces of shell that were in the rice mixture so it was kind of difficult to eat. Overall, it's not bad. Pretty average meal. read more

This old restaurant has modernized and improved. Not a fancy place with a very bad rating. I still think that it worth going for a quick lunch. Of course you must like mussels otherwise is not your kind place. The side salad,be prepared to get a tiny tiny salad by american standards. Beer are very good. Very pleasant out door sitting. read more

It pretty good and fairly priced. Would definitely go again. Also had good Moules Frites which I was looking for.

Yes, it is a chain. Yes, the menu has that cartoony chain quality. But hey, the mussels are tasty, and that's what matters. We got a bucket of their original mussels steamed in wine and butter. There was also some minced onions and parsley. The mussels and the sauce were delicious and plentiful, especially for the price. It came with some delicious bread and bland fries. We saved the bread to dip into the leftover sauce...so good. We split the bucket between two of us, and we were still full. They also have delicious Belgian beer. The prices are very reasonable. The service was warm and efficient. read more

The food is good, and the service is ok, but be careful to avoid being taken advantage of. My partner and I visited Paris, and after a long tour, we were hungry as we walked around the Opera area. We saw a sign out front of this establishment that advertised steak frites for 9.99 Euros. We got a table and confirmed the price in the menu and placed our orders. The food came, and it was tasty enough. I especially liked the herbed butter on the steak. The surprise came when the waiter brought us our check. We were charged 15 Euros apiece for the steak frites dinners. We brought the discrepancy to our waiter's attention. He said that the steak frites was not 9.99 as advertised both outside and in the menu. He was never able to explain why he charged us an additional 5 Euros (and it wasn't the service charge; that was in addition to all this). We ended up having to pay the extra. I guess it's a pretty good racket to get into charging foreign tourists whatever price you feel like and counting on the language barrier to keep your pockets lined. I will certainl avoid Léon de Bruxelles next time I'm in Paris. read more

Look at their salad. They are using old greens. It doesn't even taste delicious. Waste of money. read more

The Moule we ordered tasted good, but the service was quite poor 107€ for four persons (two children) Not the best value for the money... read more

When I think of this place, I think of Michelle Obama's arms: too many mussels. My friend and I each got the muscle deal that comes with an appetizer, a bucket of mussels, and a dessert. It would've been worth the 20 euros a pop, if we were able to finish the food! In the end, we had about 1/2 a bucket each, left of mussels. There were just too many, despite tasting good. The both of us sort of don't want to speak about the seafood again, but we had them until we were about to burst. So, I recommend about 1 large bucket for 2 people. I mean, if you really do finish and want more, you can just order more, right? Sadly, what has been ordered, cannot be un-ordered.. read more

Got the menu for 11.90 euros with a salad, the house mussels, and the Belgian dessert mix. Portions were very large and delicious. Service was pretty quick, although my friends had some problems with communication with the server, who didn't speak the best English. Cute decor. read more

I ordered the muscles Leon and I was perfectly satisfied with my order, it had the perfect amount of celery to add that little distinguishing flavor. The bread and fries were underwhelming, the fries were soggy and the bread nor flaky or soft. The service could have been better but we did go around dinner time and all the tables around us were occupied. The server did smile when he did come by so that's a plus. Overall would go back again but would opt for no fries or bread although the fries are unlimited. read more

Léon de Bruxelles - Portions are massive!! I couldn't even finish my order.. - Belgian Near Me - Paris, 75

The mussels were delicious. But, service was a bit spotty with a somewhat rude waitress.

Okay this place is not so spiffy but get this, I recommend it to everyone who likes mussels. I really wish they would swank up the place. The Sizzlers like atmosphere really kills it. These people produce very nice food. I got the a la planca style chorizo with mussels and it was yummy. Getting a meal under 20 euros in Paris that is filling is phenomenal. Plus I discovered a new beer "Edelweiss". It was very light and like an adult soft drink. I lapped it up. What I like about Leon's is that they're consistent. It's been what it is for the last twenty years. When I had two francs to rub together the first time I visited Paris when I was nineteen, this place left an impression on me. Every year, I return to re-experience it for two reasons. 1) I know what I'm going to get because they are consistent and 2) because it's nostalgic of my youth frolicking about in Paris. Young and naive. I was such a sweet idiot. Thank you Leon de Bruxelles for all of these memories and the mussels. read more

We arrived at 10:30pm for an all you can eat Mussels for 20€ the served us 3 plates of Mussels and told us they couldn't bring more because they were closing. At 11:45pm they seated two more people and served them. Bad service. Mussels not even that good anyways. read more

It was good fish and chips. Don't expect to take your food "a emporter," because they don't serve to go.

Worst service and experience in Paris! Don't eat here. I would give it a zero but that is not possible. We ordered dessert and were given a cold shoulder treatment. After ordering we should have just walked out as we would have had a better experience going to the super market next door and buying a small thing of ice cream. We asked for water 3 separate times but it never showed up... Seriously this place is a joke. Service is awful, the food is so so. read more

Awful place. The salmon was overcooked, beans dried, rice dry. No sauce. The sorbet was tastless also. Place is so crowded, you can't have a chat. Plus the spoon what the server gaved me was sticky.. It's crime to charge so much money for dried beans and rice.. I kinda think that my food was microwaved before I got it.. read more

worst customer servoce EVER. it was so bad i walked away. They have zero tolerance for questions and the waiter walked off half way through a wuestion and rolled his eyes. NOT WORTH THE UNLIMITED FRIES with mussels. read more

Bad service!!!! It's my worst experience in Paris. We asked for tab water and waitress gave us a big bottle of water. Asked for plate, no plate, asked for ice, no ice. Asked for to go box, no to go box. We don't know if the waitress pretended not understanding English or really didn't know English at all, neither do the manager.....not recommend to anyone. read more

Moules marinere for lunch is a good value. Comes with salad and dessert. Service is good but not always expedient.

Servers were extremely friendly and the food was good - not sure if it helped that we were there during non-peak hours or not. We had the traditional mussels and fries with creme brulee for dessert. The creme brulee was just okay but I wish I'd been able to go back for more mussels during our trip. The broth was hot and buttery and the serving was quite large. read more

Atrocious service! Firstly, as we walked into the restaurant we were greeted by the manger who grunted at us and nodded in the direction of a 4-seater booth. Secondly, the same person came and forced French menus upon us (which was fine), but he did it in a manner that implied we were not entitled to any menu in any other language. Thirdly, the waiter came to take our order and was so rude that I can't even fathom the words to describe it but he kept on shaking his head and muttering under his breath, in addition to speaking about us to the other waiters in French. As it was lunchtime we had only ordered 2 lunch menus and beers between 4 people. However, we were not aware that each person had to order a meal. It was a genuine mistake which could have been rectified by a mere polite comment to explain this. Instead, the waiter reacted in a disgusting way. We later asked to speak to the manager who was very dismissive and claimed ignorance to English. During this time, the starter of mixed salads for the 2 lunch menus had been served, yet the other 2 people hadn't even placed an order. In the meantime, the manager repeatedly looked back at our table to give us dirty looks as we were still deciding what to order. At this point, we had had enough of the poor quality of the service and decided that we were only going to have the beers that we ordered and leave. Finally, after being allowed to speak to another manager, who had proper customer service, it was agreed that we could pay for the beers only and cancel any food ordered. read more
