DK Eyewitness "Founded in 1893, Chez Léon is a stalwart of traditional Belgian culinary standards among the generally mediocre restaurants of the Rue des Bouchers."
Fodor's "More than a century old, this cheerful restaurant is a reliable choice on the restaurant-lined rue des Bouchers—just don't expect to see any locals eating here." Full review
Afar Magazine " If you are seated in the right place, close to the front door, you can witness the waiters hard at work, scurrying back and forth from the kitchen to the their customers." Full review
Afar Magazine "One of the best known restaurants in Belgium." Full review

DK Eyewitness "If you don’t like mushrooms, Café des Spores is not for you – the entire cuisine is based around fungus."
Michelin Guide 0 Stars
"There are no magic mushrooms at this gourmet retro bistro - but they do worship ceps, chanterelles and oyster mushrooms, paired with quaffable wines." Full review
Frommer's "This restaurant is dedicated to mushrooms of every kind, taste, and variety. They are either the main point of the dish or the main accompaniment, as in duck with chanterelles" Full review
Fodor's "And while diners might discover that it isn't quite as eccentric as they'd expect (mushrooms feature in all dishes but often as side ingredients), it is nonetheless quite out there." Full review
