Open every day · next to the Saint-Hubert Galleries
Léon Vanlancker opened his "Friture Léon" in 1893 at 18 rue des Bouchers, the street of restaurants that leads off the Saint-Hubert Galleries. Today it occupies several houses on the street and still does the same thing: mussels in a pot with chips and simple Brussels cooking.
The menu
The dish is the pot of Zeeland mussels, with chips, in several preparations. If you do not like mussels, order the meatballs in tomato sauce or the other Belgian dishes on the menu. It is a place for eating well without complications, at a mid-range price for the centre.
When to go
Open every day and you can book on its website. The rue des Bouchers is full of waiters inviting you into other restaurants: here there is no need, and the menu is at the door.
Getting there
Three minutes' walk from the Grand-Place through the galleries, and five from Bruxelles-Central station.
