VILLAVANLANCKER1888

Friture Léon was founded in 1888 by the great-great-grandfather of today's owner Rudy Vanlancker, Leon Vanlancker, just a stone's throw away from the Grand-Place of Brussels, a small restaurant called ‘A la ville d'Anvers', in tribute to its Flemish origins... ‘In 1893, at 18 rue des Bouchers in Brussels, Friture Léon was created, an eatery of barely five tables. Today, 125 years later, the restaurant still occupies number 18, but also eight more of the terraced houses, and serves more than a thousand people every day. A success and, above all, a wonderful family story.'... As it was for the Romans over 2000 years ago, our Villa will be a place to get away, relax, enjoy oneself, eat and drink. Roman writers refer with satisfaction to the self-sufficiency of their latifundium villas, where they drank their own wine and pressed their own oil.
