Sunday set lunch
£42.00 per person
Multiple dates available
On Sundays we offer a family style set lunch in the restaurant priced at £42 per person. The menu changes weekly but will typically centre around a large porchetta roasted slowly over the wood fire surrounded by seasonal antipasti, pastas & contorni with our tiramisu to finish. We are more than happy to accommodate vegetarians and other dietary requirements, if you could select from the meat or vegetarian menu add ons when booking that would be greatly appreciated. Reservations on Sundays are for our Set Lunch Only while the more casual breakfast and lunch in the cafe is a walk ins only affair, so please feel free to just pop by if you wish to dine in the cafe. Thanks!
New Years Eve 2024
£70.00 per person

31 Dec 2024 only
New Years Eve at Leo's Join us as we usher in our second year on Chatsworth Road and toast the arrival of 2025! As ever the evening will split into two sittings, one early enough to move onto whatever gathering you may be attending, the later a fully fledged celebration in its own right. The menu will centre around beautiful large cuts of Galician beef cooked over the wood-fire with handmade pastas, pristine oysters & the obligatory winter truffles forming the opening acts. Washed down with a singular selection of grower champagnes that we are retrieving from the darkest corners of the cellar especially for the occasion!

Beautifully decorated and a cosy warm vibe. Food was great except for the polenta dish which was overly smoky it tasted like candle wax so we couldn’t eat this, service was good, but a bit hands off, for example nobody asked how the food was or gave any recommendations. Would still visit again but avoid the polenta.

whenever I decide to have a meal at Leo’s, the experience ends up being the best I have. From food, service, menu, cleanliness to beautiful and warm interiors, Leo’s is my favorite restaurant in London. It is everything you look for in a restaurant. If you feel like it is far and you are unsure about making the trip, trust me, it is worth it.

Really great atmosphere and enjoyed the menu very much (especially the raw beef and the pasta). Also the paper designs on the menu were beautiful, really individual. And great wine. Definitely would go again! Tiny thing - it was for a birthday which I had confirmed via app and on the phone but they didn’t bring candles out with dessert. Not a major issue though, still a lovely evening.
