Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Venissieux

16/07/2026: It's a shame we can't give zero stars… I wanted to report our very bad experience this evening at the Léon de Bruxelles restaurant in Vénissieux. We arrived as a family at 9:40 PM. When we arrived, there was no one at the reception desk. A waitress, alone to manage the entire dining room, saw us and told us she was coming. She then went into the kitchen. We then saw the cook look towards the dining room through the kitchen window and shout at her, looking us straight in the eye: "We're closed!" The waitress explained that the kitchens closed at 10:00 PM. I replied that there was no problem since it was only 9:40 PM and the kitchen was therefore still open. She told me that by the time we were seated and our order was taken, it would be 10:00 PM. Yet, we already knew exactly what we wanted. We had consulted the menu before entering and simply wanted to order mussels and fries for a family dinner. Our order could have been taken immediately. I find this situation completely incomprehensible. Turning customers away twenty minutes before the official closing time of the kitchen, in the middle of summer, is already regrettable. But the way it was handled is even worse. The lack of welcome, the tone used, and the complete absence of any willingness to find a solution are not worthy of a brand like Léon de Bruxelles. It's truly a shame, as we had simply come to enjoy a pleasant family meal. After this experience, I will unfortunately not be returning to your establishment. P.S.: Don't judge a book by its cover. A word to the wise…
