Leo's Restaurant & Bar London

Riso al Salto @leos.london @pep_belvedere 😍
-
One of the best dishes I’ve eaten this year. What a beautiful plate from Leo’s. For me, this form of risotto is the most delicious and there is just no comparison. Their saffron risotto is essentially pan fried in butter and flipped so that it develops the most incredible golden crust that encases its creamy filling. The dish here was served on a pumpkin and Parmesan fondue which was rich, mature and subtly sweet. The texture of the risotto itself, perfectly al dente and chewy with a voluptuous, velvety smooth texture. The most satisfying crunch on the outside. Those few flakes of sea salt on top was just the right amount to balance everything out. I could have had two more of these. A dish that made a lasting impression! Will need to try at home - recipe soon.. #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Grilled brill @leos.london @pep_belvedere 😍
-
A very delicious dinner at Leo’s. This local charmer on Chatsworth road is worth a visit. It’s a retro-styled Italian diner and @pep_belvedere really knows what he’s doing. I had one of the most amazing dishes here which I’ll save for a separate post - probably one of the tastiest plates I’ve had so far in 2024. Other than that, I had their white lasagne, tagliolini with porcini butter and black truffle and the grilled brill. All three were beautifully prepared. The white lasagne was creamy and al dente with a rich layers of tender pork ragu and spinach throughout. A perfectly caramelised, crispy top. Delectable. The egg yolk tagliolini, made in house with the most vibrant colour and firm texture. Fragrant and tasty. The brill was tender and sweet, with a viscous and tart lemon butter sauce - v good. A super casual and pleasant atmosphere with great service and knowledgable staff! If only there were more spots like this! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
