A historic Brussels dining institution on Rue des Bouchers near the Grand-Place, founded by Léon Vanlancker in 1893. Renowned worldwide as the quintessential temple of Belgian 'moules-frites' (steamed mussels and crispy fries), it serves over a dozen preparations of fresh North Sea mussels alongside Belgian beers, including its proprietary Bière Léon.
