Wagon Léo has been growing, looking at things in a new light, focusing on quality and extending a warm welcome for your enjoyment.
1946
In 1946, Léopold Auguste Emmanuel opened his first Léo chips shop in an old army tram wagon.
Following the design of the first Pullman style wagon, Léopold travelled from fair to fair selling chips throughout Belgium. He settled in Bastogne in 1954.
After renting for 40 years, Serge was finally able to buy the land on which the family restaurant stood and to open the new Bistro Léo (inaugurated in 1990).
Having earned his stripes at the hotel and catering school, Serge (Léopold’s son) took over the reins in the kitchen and gradually upgraded the chips shop to the first restaurant.
After gaining experience in Belgium and abroad, his children Arnaud and Grégory returned to the family fold. (1999)
Opening of three hotel establishments : 15 rooms complete the catering offer.
2018
New step in the adventure: a second wagon in the Orient Express style enters the station.
