30 boulevard des italiens, 75002
Metro : Opera
How many times have I seen posters for this restaurant? A dozen. Everyday actually in the metro. Has it interested me? Of course! Advertising does work! So we went!
Leon de Bruxelles is a chain restaurant, available in now three different countries - Belgium, France, and recently - the UK. They serve typical Belgium dishes and are most known for their mussels. That's what I got!
It wasn't alot, but it was good. The fries were decent and bottomless - which I haven't seen since I last was in America. I got a classic, moules a la mariniere whilst my partner got something not very classic, moules gratinee with a very strong cheese (sorry, I don't recall what it was). I had nothing to complain about but maybe it's because I am not a grand connaisseur of mussels.
The ambiance reminded me very much of an American restaurant. Themed. Large bathrooms, very clean, and home-like. It was odd to be in France and to have this kind of themed dining experience. I guess it's the classic "chain restaurant" trend.
Would I recommend this to a friend? Eh. If you seriously have nothing else to eat in the area and you find it, sure! It's not bad nor is it amazing. It's a good mussels and fries place, but nothing to get dressed up for or excited about.
