There are many seafood restaurants on Brussels Street. The most authentic one is called Chez Leon. It was established in 1893. The cheese garlic mussels here are awesome! In this restaurant, I met my Korean colleague who used to work at Emirates Airlines and joined KLM last year. The world is so big and the world is so small..
There is a restaurant called Chez Leon in the center of Brussels. Opened in 1893, it is a century-old store. There is usually still a queue during meal times, so it is best to make a reservation in advance. It is recommended to eat mussels. There are several ways to eat mussels as the main course. In addition, it comes with bread and butter, and a glass of Belgian beer. It feels great.

Aux armed de bruxelles, the environment is very good, it has a dim and luxurious atmosphere that imitates the European court, and the music is also very good. The dishes are small, and one set is enough to fill you up.
It was a great experience. Fortunately, I made an appointment online in advance, otherwise there would be a lot of people on weekends. It was worth my long wait. It was really good.

Finally, I have wifi! I had two servings of fries in Belgium. I bought the first one from the wrong store, but I still bought the most famous fries in Brussels, the one on the bottom right! Fritland! Great! I was so full! But it also made up for the regret we had about the fries in Bruges last year!

The stewed beef and rabbit are both good. It is a well-known local restaurant. I ordered beer, staple food, and cake. The cake was made like a work of art, and the chocolate sauce on it was delicious, a Belgian specialty.
French food tastes good. After all, it comes from the French-speaking region, so the French cuisine is not too particular. Instead, it suits our eating habits very well. The steak is so delicious!

I recently dined at the Lobster House and ordered the Seafood Royal Paella and the Cream and Wine Mussels. The Cream and Wine Mussels were recommended by our friendly waiter, and they did not disappoint. They were the best mussels I’ve ever had—soft, fresh, and perfectly cooked.The Paella, while still good, was a bit disappointing compared to the mussels. However, the lobster in the paella was excellent. I would definitely return for the mussels if I visit Brussels again in the future.
I took advantage of the 6-hour layover in Brussels to go to the city center. I had to be back at the airport before 1:00, so I had lunch early. However, many stores were open at 12:00, only the lobster house opened at 11:00 in the morning! The taste was good and the price was above average.

In a restaurant in the city center, the steak is very good, I like it very much. The foie gras is made like bread slices, but it is too thick, so one person can't finish it, you can share it with several people. The salmon with bread is great.
The coffee shop in the city center also has delicious European black tea, which is a wonderful match with the strong Italian noodles. Maybe black tea can relieve greasiness? It is surrounded by the old town with people coming and going, which is quite interesting.

A nice beer bar, the Belgian brown beer is very good, a full glass, and it has very strong hops. There are a good variety of snacks in the store. Generally everyone has a glass of beer and then chats.
Super good restaurant and bar, the snacks are very delicious, and it is very nice with a glass of beer

Seeing that many residents from the surrounding area come here to dine, the business is pretty good.
We enjoyed Les Petits Oignons, noting the diverse menu and the exceptional quality of dishes like the salmon tartare, sole meunière, and chocolate mousse. However, we were left feeling frustrated and inconvenienced by the fact that despite making a reservation just three hours prior to the time of our reservation, we were not informed that there would be a subsequent email confirmation requirement. If the request for confirmation had been sent via text message, I would have noticed it. Unfortunately, our failure to confirm resulted in us arriving at the restaurant without a valid reservation. While they allowed us to dine, the experience was rushed and unpleasant. It’s important for the restaurant to clearly communicate this confirmation requirement to patrons..

It's a German-style bar. The German grilled sausages are delicious, but a little salty. The beef is also good, and it feels like a German way. Anyway, the two countries are very close, and the beer is also OK.
