Jean-Claude Van Damme
Jean-Claude Van Varenberg (born 18 October 1960), professionally known as Jean-Claude Van Damme and abbreviated to JCVD, is a Belgian actor, martial artist, screenwriter, film producer and director best known for his martial-arts action films.
He is also a character whose gaffes and provocative or eccentric statements have often landed him in trouble. However, he remains a unique personality, much loved by Belgians. Whenever he travels to Brussels, he always eats at “Chez Léon”.

Cuidado com o garçon que fica do lado de fora. O prato Formule Leon 500 gr custa 20 euros e ele nao qceitou meu pedido ara o pra e queria quei pagasse 32,75 euros. Dentro os outros garçons, o Sami, em especial, muito homestamente, me pediu o prato de 20 Euros e as cervejas e a sobremesa Crème Brulèe. Amei a porção de Moules Matinières.

Restaurante céntrico, fuimos recomendados por una compañera de trabajo y, la verdad, no salimos decepcionados, "solo" comimos distintas raciones de mejillones y los postres, pero, sin duda, la mejor cazuela de mejillones que probamos en Bruselas. El crepe de León (que tenía mandarinas) estaba particularmente espectacular. Si es verdad, como punto "negativo", que los camareros estaban un poco espesos, poco atentos, además que cada uno se encargaba de una sección y como le pidieses algo a uno que no era de tu mesa, no te hacían ni caso.

Had dinner here our last night in Belgium and wasn’t impressed. It felt overpriced for what it was and the service was ok, nothing more.I don’t like the feeling of being an annoyance to a server and that’s the vibe I got.My meal was ok, but nothing special. Certainly not for the price we paid.Didn’t care for much including how close we were to the table next to us.I early decided to not recommend a place, but I think you can find better dinner options in Brussels.

Had our obligatory moules et frites while visiting Brussels. We thought the version with butter and herbs was the best. Make sure to ask for bread to soak up the extra sauce. We also had the version with cheese which was also good, but a bit heavy. Service was very good and prices reasonable.Update 2026: getting expensive and the module frites not as good as I remember from our last visit.

Sin espera.Pedimos una cazuelita de carne estofada en cerveza que estaba buena pero algo escasa para lo que costó, además unos calamares que eran masa frita con algo dentro que parecía anilla de pota y patatas fritas.Para beber 2 cervezas.Todo 53 euros.A favor hay que decir que el camarero habla español.Nosotros no volveriamos. Probaríamos otro cualquiera que hay muchos en la zona y casi todos ofrecen lo mismo.

Chez Léon in Brussels is a tourist staple, but the experience is a bit mixed. The atmospheric setting and historic location are charming, yet the food delivers varying results.The mussels served in a traditional steaming pot are the clear highlight—fresh, classic, and well-seasoned. However, the open-face mussels platter felt average, lacking depth in flavor. As for the beef stew (Carbonnade Flamande), while tender, the sauce leaned a little too sweet without the rich depth you hope for in a classic Belgian dish.It is decent and convenient for a central meal, but ultimately feels more like a mass-market tourist stop.
