Léon de Bruxelles, Paris

Léon de Bruxelles is situated along Champs-Elysées. Was there for dinner after a long day walk..... The restaurant was narrow and long deep inside. The tables were closely packed together.

There were chinese tourists from hk*(speak cantonese with the hk slangs) sitting on my right and ang mo at the other side. The service was average, may be due to too many customers.

Yummy mussels ... one of my favourite mollusca!! Thumbs up for the freshness, juicyness and sweetness.

I didn't use the cutleries that provided but with my hands and the shell of the mussels after finished the 1st one. This is the traditional way of eating the mussels .... which would be tastier and yummier in this way !!

The french fries can be topped up as much as u can eat .... i did once. But i didn't touch the bread at all as i know that i will be having it for breakfast every morning if i am in france and it was true !!

The waiter who served me ... busy running here and there. Could see the frustrated on his face after the end of the meal ....

The meal was expensive for me if i converted to RM ... If i was not mistaken, it costed around 20 euro for the bowl of mussels plus drinks.
