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.

A great place to grab something tasty before your journey, whether a chicken burger, our classic fish finger wrap or our baked fries and a tub of fresh hummus to dip them in (trust us, it tastes great).

Victoria Station is the gateway to Gatwick, Brighton and Dover, so make sure you grab some tasty food whether you are heading to somewhere in the UK, or even further afield!

If you are staying a little closer to home, then don’t miss the opportunity to walk to Buckingham Palace – Home to the Queen, men in furry hats, and special Pokemon on Pokemon Go.

Victoria is a bit of a building site at the minute, but there are still a few relaxing places.

Take a stroll to Westminster Abbey, lie down in Green Park, or take a left outside Leon to discover the little grassy patch, Christchurch Gardens.

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.

It’s Leon, and my children were happily munching through halloumi wraps and ‘super grilled chicken pot’ sides, while discussing the merits of the orange juice versus the lemon, lime and ginger refresher, and dipping flat bread into pots of hummus.

The large open area in front of the counter is still recognisably a fast food joint, with its open floor space, counter and neon food pictures, like a train station at rush hour, but upstairs was at least nicely decorated and fun, lots of people eating salads with their iPads for company.

So we ordered and carried our chosen lunch upstairs – super salad with avocados, broccoli and quinoa, bursting with peas and feta, grilled halloumi wraps with burger gherkins and sauce, pots of chicken with mint, Leon baked fries with aoli, which were more like a waffle, the chicken burger, crushed pea salad and meatball hotbox.

Anyone interested in recreating Leon’s wholesome snacks, can do so at home with the help of a recipe book, Leon – Happy Salads.

The book sees Leon authors Jane Baxter and John Vincent bringing together 100 recipes for fresh, vibrant, delicious salads that will have you feeling healthy and happy.

Leon, London SE1, restaurant review - Telegraph

location   food  

On the basis we were not really supposed to be having a starter, then, C and I both had a salad, he the original superfood (£4.95) and I the smoked mackerel and beetroot superfood (£6.25).

But as much as I sound like a cranky old thing, I cannot deny they were tasty.

Once you have the basics in place – a delicious bit of fish, processed in a delicious smoky fashion – pretty much the only thing that can go wrong is if it is leathery, and I have never tasted softer or silkier.

The main cause of over-eating, in my life at least, is things being delicious.

At least not if you're on the M6, where these (north- and southbound) family-owned service stations offer seasonal salads and wholesome roasts with meat from their own farm (£6.70) Not all dishes here are super-slimming, but they're nutritious, made with the organic produce sold in the shop downstairs and through its veg-box scheme.

LEON, Brighton | Fast Food Review | Foodie Eshé

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.

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.
