    Always a good lunch. Service this time was surprisingly unfriendly and unhelpful. Just a weird vibe.

    Leunig’s always impresses. The virgin hot toddy’s were the perfect pair to our carbonara.

    I’m never disappointed when I dine at Leunig’s, whether it be a lunch or dinner. It was quite frigid last night, and my only was that it was on the cool side where we sat, at a table in front of the bar.

    Best atmosphere in town! Lovely table and the restaurant looked beautiful. Beef Bourginon a little tough but flavor was good.

    I have been going to Leunigs for decades as it has become a staple to the Burlington downtown scene. The pate we ordered as an app was very cold so it crumbled. and the bread was very cold and hard. I suspect that the platters are made in advance and then taken out of the fridge when ordered. Bread should be crispy not hard and at least room temp. And the pate should be room temp and spreadable. My beef was also not hot and was quite dry. Not really the caliber of the Leunigs I remember which perhaps might be a function of new ownership since August

    Leunig's was a wonderful place to celebrate my birthday. The atmosphere reminds me of New York restaurants in the theatre district. Portions were just right. Staff friendly but not overly. Everything was exquisite!

    Nous avons passé une soirée magnifique au Leunig’s Bistro. La nourriture était tout simplement excellente, avec des saveurs délicates et parfaitement équilibrées. Le service était tout aussi remarquable : l’équipe a été chaleureuse, attentive et professionnelle tout au long de notre repas. Un petit malentendu nous a valu une entrée que nous n’avions pas commandée, mais à notre grande surprise, nous l’avons adorée ! Cela montre à quel point leur cuisine est irréprochable, peu importe le plat. Nous recommandons vivement ce charmant bistro et reviendrons sans hésiter. Merci pour cette belle soirée !
