Leopold brings Belgian to West Town.

Leopold, the city’s latest Belgian eatery, plans to officially open on January 4 in West Town. But those that just can’t wait will be able to get a peek at the restaurant on New Year’s Eve, as the restaurant will be serving “about 75%” of the available menu. It’ll also be BYO for the day, which is a good excuse to save money on champagne. Anyway, what’s on that menu? Well, you can bet there will be mussels and fries. But there’s also steak tartare, oysters, and crispy veal sweetbreads. Check out the full menu after the jump.
