Review Summary

Leila has quickly become a celebrated destination in the Mile End, recognized for its warm, unpretentious atmosphere and exceptional hospitality. Many diners praise the seasonal, Mediterranean-inspired menu, frequently highlighting standouts like the sardines on toast, octopus, and expertly prepared pastas as evidence of the kitchen's focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. While the majority of guests describe the service as personal, attentive, and passionate, experiences with portion sizes and value vary, with some finding the plates generous and others feeling they are on the smaller side for the price. Overall, the combination of a cozy setting, a thoughtful wine list, and a vibrant, authentic vibe makes it a highly recommended spot for both casual outings and special occasions.

We were a group of five. The service is excellent. The waiter was very helpful & new his stuff. The menu is not large & we tried multiple dishes. They were all quite good but also on the salty side. The ragu was very salty & we couldn't each much of it. The pork chop was also very salty & lacked any char. It was also pre-cut which we didn't appreciate. We prefer cutting our own meat. Their desserts were good, light & mild in flavor but nothing wow. Leila has potential to be much much better. It was our first time so we have nothing to compare but if they can reduce the saltiness & intensify the flavors in their desserts it would be a huge improvement. Also, they had a lot of lamb dishes for a small menu. They need a little more variety. Last thing, they need to put a menu on their website. I hate restaurants that don't show a menu or prices.

Expérience 10/10. Je recommende fortement ce restaurant & j'y retourne bientôt. Chaque plat était très bon & les goûts sont vraiment recherché. Le service aussi, rien à dire, c'était exceptionnel! Ma copine & moi, on les a prévenue de notre retard pour la réservation & ils ont été super compréhensifs. Nous étions même les dernieres clientes au resto & il y a pas une seule fois qu'on a sentie une pression de partir. Ambiance très chaleureuse & personnel très aimable. Merci!

Super restaurant, les plats sont très bien travaillés ! Les desserts étaient succulent ! À essayer les yeux fermés! Merci a Amine de nous avoir transmis avec ses délices en Méditerranée. J'y retournerai, ils changent les plats occasionnellement. Sans oublié le service impeccable & chaleureux.
