 | Paris Léon de Bruxelles Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 16 |  |
For all the mussels lovers who don't want to break a bank, Léon de Bruxelles is THE unavoidable address ( this small Belgo-French chain (in fact the restaurants are franchises : same providers but independant management) features a cooking common in North France/South Belgium).
The restaurants, all over Paris, (and in some province towns as in Bruxelles) offer a large choice in mussels receipes, depending on the season (you can even get mussels in the months whose name doesn't contain a "R" (Mai, Juin, Juillet, Aout = summer, considered low season for this type of food).
A 3 courses meal (a salad + mussels+ fries + a waffle or a tart) is 12-15 Euros
For those not liking mussels, they serve good fish
The fries are "eat as much as you can"
The restaurants are kids' friendly (you can even eat with your fingers if you like)
And the beers' choice is decent
Moules marinières and frites of course, and waffles Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: see belowDirections: 3 bd Beaumarchais- 63 av des Champs-Elysées-120 rue Rambuteau -0 bd des Italiens -1 place Pigalle -82 bd du Montparnasse -131 bd St Germain -8 place de la République -95 bd Gouvion St Cyr - 8 place de Clichy - 64 av des Gobelins - 349 rue de VaugirardWebsite: http://www.leon-de-bruxelles.fr/

This is a chain of restaurants throughout Paris with reasonable prices, large crowds and reasonably good food.
I tried the mussels in cream sauce and frites which was pretty good, my husband had calamari which was pretty tasty. Leave a Comment

This chain have many restaurants in Paris, and if you feel hungry to eat mussels, you can go there, you can find one in each popular district of Paris.
Their Mussels in "cocotte" are great, I've tried almost every specialties (olive oil, curry, cream, etc...) they are great and the unlimited french fries are ok. You can also eat an entrecote if you don't like mussels!
For the dessert, I recommend the waffle, with hot chocolate, chantilly cream and a vanilla ice cream, that is just perfect, moreover prices aren't too high...

Although it's a chain, that's a reliable name. The musels taste great, and they'll bring French fries "à la volonté", as much as you want. Since I found this restaurant, it became a favorite and I've returned several times.

The food was fine, but the service so lacking I must recommend against this restaurant strongly. We were given a poor table, likely because we were a family. Then, we were brought the wrong size beer. After pointing this out, we were still charged for the larger amount. After this was corrected, we noticed on the way out that all the other customers were served pretzels and bread. I pointed this out in the course of lodging a complaint, was told to wait, and when an English speaker arrived was asked "are you waiting for something?" The attitude clearly was: you're tourists, you're not returning, so why should we care? Avoid ths restaurant at all costs, and go to the sort or wonderful restaurants we've frequented over the last two weeks: small brasseries in French neighborhoods where you are the only person who speaks English.
