The most famous moules-frites institution in Brussels, Chez Léon has been serving mussels since 1893 and remains a genuine Brussels landmark. Yes, it's touristy, but the mussels are fresh, the frites are proper, and the experience is part of the city's identity. Go for the classic moules marinières and don't overthink it. Expect queues and a lively, chaotic atmosphere.
