“ Visiting from the US and this was our first stop to eat. I was more than pleasantly surprised by Leon's! The food was amazing! I had the chicken burger and it was to die for! Everyone was very attentive, knowing we weren't local, they took care of us and made us feel at home! My family will definitely be back before we leave. Thank you!! ”

“ This is a lovely looking branch of Leon with a wall covered with fairy lights. I'm such a sucker for fairy lights. It's a great place to stop off for a tasty falafel wrap before attending a fun yelp event nearby. Help yourself to water. I just wish Leon was a little bit cheaper. I would be here much more often. ”

“ Quick glance: + service and food offers have improved + smaller portion at reasonable price + friendly staff to help at the queue + love the fresh juices Full review: I've worked in this area for over two years and I have been avoiding Leon for the most part except on the odd occasions when my colleague wanted to go there. But my two most recent visits (in the last 3-4 months) have changed my perception of Leon. Whereas two years ago I found the menu expensive, portion size small, and food a bit bland, I now find their new (and seemingly ever changing in the positive direction) menu enticing and appropriately priced. There is also staff who walks around the venue to help tidy up the tables, as well as give helpful suggestions on what to order if you look remotely lost. The ordering process is swift, and so is the delivery of the food. I am pleased with this branch of Leon's progress in continually improving its food and service. ”

“ This review is written by an outsider, a tourist, a yank! But hey, everyone's got an opinion so here's my biased, touristy, loud-mouthed one. Yes, this restaurant was in my Lonely Planet guidebook. However, I'm extremely glad I came here because this was probably the best meal for the best price I had in London. Who are we kidding? London is an expensive place. So I basically looking for the cheapest places. Who would have thought one of my cheaper meals would be one of my more memorable one? I ordered the grilled chicken with cous-cous. Chicken is tender. Check. Cous-cous is soft with a bit of a snap. Check. Everything is warm. Check and check. The decor is fantastic. It's like a diner, pub, classy restaurant rolled up into one. There were a lot of folks out drinking that night and I definitely got out my sketchbook to draw the place. I will say one bad thing about LEON is that it's extremely dark. So dark that I could barely make out the faces of other people. My desk only had a little candle and the ambient lighting to illuminate my food. My eyes took a bit to adjust. ”

“ Leon looks the way I want my living room to look. Fairy lights, floating star lanterns, metal shelves full up of books and random junk...I loved it! I wasn't too keen on the elementary school lunch style method of ordering at the counter and carrying away your little tray, but the awesome menu full of organic and vegetarian yumminess more than made up for it. (Please note that Leon is not strictly vegetarian, they just have many options for us veggies). The Leon Gobi was wonderfully filling and delish and the Strawberry Power Smoothie is to die for. Just one small thing...can I get plate next time? Eating out of a box kinda makes me feel like a slob. ”

“ ... Not the French assassin! If you are expecting to hire an assassin here you will be disappointed, but if you could murder tasty, healthy food served in a relaxed atmosphere then this is the place. I am always impressed with the quality of the food here and it is very tasty indeed. It is sort of a cross between a fast food joint and a kids home-made lemonade stall on their front lawn - go and see you'll know what I mean when you are there. They have a breakfast (yet to try /get up early enough to try), lunch and evening menu with the latter two being very similar if not the same, just slightly different prices. Portion sizes are small compared to some other eateries in the area but to be honest are ample and filling. There is nothing on the menu that I would not recommend. I also found the staff to be very friendly and helpful but not be imposing allowing you to enjoy your meal. ”

“ This Ludgate Circus haven is one of their older branches (Leon is now a mini-chain!) This branch is open throughout the week and used to close over the weekends (located in the City) but during the last summer seemed to be open most Saturdays as well. Check before you make the trip is my advice. The Leon chain serves up healthy fast food (some organic too) in homely and eclectic surroundings with a lot of retro details (check out their stickers, posters and the family pics) The staff at this as well as the other branches are handpicked and well trained. They come from all over the world but I have yet to find a surly one. Hot Chocolate here is made using Valrhona chocolate and warmed milk so is truly yummy and if you're wanting just drinks or cocktails there is a bar as well. Attracts a mixed and interesting crowd and can get quite busy at lunch time. Take-outs are popular too. There's a small courtyard area out front that is set up in summer but I'm addicted to inside. Here I squish myself deep into a leather chair, choose from one of the interesting books they have and enjoy the food. coffees and hot chocs. The hours simply whiz by. Long live Leon - esp this branch! ”

“ This particular branch of Leon is extremely central. Seriously. Look at a map of London, point to where you think the middle is, and you have your finger on this Leon. I swear. It's a scientific fact. What makes this one better than the rest? It's massive, it's underground, and they also serve dinner. And they have huge armchairs that you can seriously lounge in. And they bring the food to you if it will take longer than two minutes to prepare (aka when I order a wrap without the sauce). Lemon ginger & mint juice FTW. ”
