Leon

At LEON we have a mission: To help make it easier for everyone to eat and live well. We serve fast food that is full of natural ingredients so tastes good and leaves you feeling good.

LEON South Kensington is the Leon for museum fans, being a walking distance from not one, not two, but three iconic ones.

See the dinosaur bones (and try to get the Jurassic Park theme tune out of your head – It’s harder than it sounds) in the Natural History Museum, learn about the human body in the Science Museum, and then peruse the most comprehensive costume collection in Britain at the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Next walk up to the Royal Albert Hall, venue to prestigious concerts including Elton John, Adele, Paul McCartney, and 1968’s Eurovision.

Well we are fans.

Round it off with a Leon dinner, and it’s a day out for all the family.

Patrick, “Found a good pub with good disabled access loo…”.

Our second review comes from Kate Warwick #disabledtoiletpolice.

She went to LEON restaurant in Victoria – she also took a pic of the loo but it appears they don’t have enough bars, hard to tell !?

LEON is a chain of restaurants primarily in London that aim to provide ‘good fast food’.

LEON, Brighton | Fast Food Review | Foodie Eshé

Review analysis
food   menu   drinks  

It’s a great concept “naturally fast food, that both tastes good and does you good”, so I can see why people were hyped that LEON was coming to Brighton.

Working my way through breakfast baps, salad boxes, hot boxes, wraps, burgers and a number of side orders and drinks I’m now ready to give you my thoughts.

There was a lot of rice used to fill up the box and I felt LEON could have been a bit more generous with the chicken pieces, which were moist but small.

The flavours were very good in this last salad box and just like the hot box slaw, the salad was crunchy and fresh.

*Disclaimer: I was given vouchers to review LEON and I paid for my breakfast bap myself, but as always my opinion isn’t swayed by freebies and you are getting my honest view on the whole experience.

Restaurant Review: Leon (Gluten Free) dinner, The Strand, London ...

Review analysis
menu   food  

The counter has large photographic menus like most fast-food restaurants and glass cabinets with food which looks enticing.

I selected the Grilled Meatballs (“Grilled meatballs cooked down in a plum tomato sauce with fresh herbs and spices“), the Grilled Chorizo (“Grilled Brindisa chorizo served with fresh herbs and a wedge of lemon“) and the lovely baked fries.

The meatballs are soft and the tomato sauce has a real spicy kick to it.

The grilled chorizo oozes flavour and the Baked Fries have a super crisp edge.

On the menu, they have symbols to clearly identify any food allergy ingredients within each dish (Low saturated fat dish, low gycemic load, wheat free, gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian and vegan.

Leon, 35 Great Marlborough Street, London, W1 | The Independent

I was lured in one day by the promise of healthy fast-food – as opposed to so many of its Soho neighbours, which offer either healthy food (no meat, no dairy, no fun) or fast-food (of which nothing need be said) – and soon I was scurrying back to work each day to eat slap-up "big dishes" of tangy Moroccan meatballs with brown rice and crunchy slaw, or sweet-potato falafel with punchy aioli straight out of the sticker-adorned brown-card box.

That and the fact that despite its reputation for turning out quick, tasty, healthy takeaways for breakfast and lunch, Leon has a little-known evening service, where you eat off a plate, rather than out of the brown boxes.

It's nothing like the big fast-food chains, thank the lord – but if you want a posh pit-stop pre- or post-theatre/ cinema in London, Leon is just the place.

Tibits, London W1, Restaurant review - Telegraph

Review analysis
food   location   drinks  

I love meat almost as much as I love my mother, who fed me my first roast lamb chopped into tiny bits when I was five years old.

Chops, rumps, roasts, knuckles, brains, gizzards, liver, bits of fat… I can think of few parts of an animal, any animal, that I won’t devour.

Kate hasn’t been to my flat for dinner again, but she did agree to have lunch with me a couple of days after my out-of-character conversion from carnivore to herbivore, suggesting a veggie place in central London.

Here is the first branch of Tibits in Britain — it opened just under two years ago — but Kate tells me they’re all over Switzerland.

Kate was pleased by the lack of tofu or meat replacements, but disappointed by the lack of texture or flavours, and the fact that it was all so stodgy and oily (“It should feel like you are doing your body good, and Tibits made me sad in that respect”).

Review analysis

We welcome it; the company’s commitment to animal welfare, sustainability and healthy but tasty food is admirable, and the simple culinary creations work well.

The hot dishes we sampled were both satisfying and fresh: grilled halloumi combined perfectly with a sweet chilli relish, while aïoli chicken was both light and creamy.

A brown rice and fresh coleslaw accompaniment (the same for all hot dishes) was wholesome and flavourful.

Breakfast baps, organic porridge, various wraps (mexican salsa, chilli chicken), superfood salads, and fruit- and spice-filled tea-time treats like cranberry and pecan flapjacks provide sustaining and delicious snacks or meals.

A welcome addition to the Spitalfields food court.
