See you there some time?
Yum. I love Leon too, particularly the aioli chicken. I just hope they don’t get too big and lose their brilliance. See you there some time?

A joy to eat
Leon is a relatively new chain of restaurants based in London offering real fast food - so the menu is deliberately seasonal, fresh, healthy and very, very tasty (their brownies are fantastic and since they’re low GI I can kid myself they’re good for me). They have a very distinctive style and look and are scrupulous about sustainability. I love going there for lunch because although the food is healthy there is nothing po-faced or punitive about it. It’s a joy to eat - if everything that was good for you tasted this great, we’d all be superheros! The food takes very little time to be served from the front counter but you have all the time in the world to enjoy it. In the restaurants are books, chess sets, old family photos (I believe Leon is the name of one of the founder’s Dads!) to keep you busy. There’s a loyalty card system which rewards you with a treat when you’ve filled your card. Eating at Leon’s is like being cooked for by a friend who really can cook and wants you to enjoy the experience. You rarely see food being left or thrown away. When I walk out I feel my hair is shinier, my eyes brighter and my mood better - and for the next couple of hours it probably is!
