This is the third branch of the seasonal, fresh, fast-food concept created by business consultant John Vincent, &'ex-chef&' Henry Dimbleby and chef Allegra McEvedy, formerly of the River Café.
The menu promises to &"bring real food back to the ­masses&", including, for breakfast: Organic Porridge topped with Honey, Seeds or Seasonal Fruit Compote; for lunch: Moorish Vegetable Tagine - Sweet Red Peppers, Chickpeas and Courgettes in a rich Tomato Sauce with Whole Almonds; ­Chilli Chicken Shish Flatbread Wrap; and for dinner: Magic Mackerel Spring Couscous Superfood Salad; Rosemary Lamb Leg Steaks.
The restaurant has a &'fast-food feel&' at the front, with counter seating and ceramic tiled walls, the food preparation area in the centre, and dark brown leather banquette seating at the rear, with dark wood and eclectic bits and pieces of pop-art-style decoration with the signature Leon retro-European graphic art feel. There is seating for 75 inside and room for another 10 outside. A fourth Leon is expected to open in Spitalfields Market this month.
