Where to have the best mussels in Brussels?

We're looking for great mussels in Brussels. We'll be staying near Grand Place so something close would be ideal. Any other restaurants you loved in Brussels? thank you!

Without doubt "Aux Armes de Bruxelles" in the Rue des Bouchers,13.

Beware, the other restaurants in the Rue des Bouchers are tourist traps.

I don't use the term tourist trap lightly, but I agree about Rue Bouchers. It is filled with restaurants with touts out front trying to get people to eat at their place. They shout at you in different languages and then try to sweet talk you into eating at their place - high pressure tactics. I have heard of many cases of bait and switch - people being promised something for a certain price and then when the bill comes, it is much higher than it should be. Chez Leon has a good reputation though as does Aux Armes.
