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.

One evening, feeling kind of defeated on our trip, my husband & I walked by here looking for a place to eat. We looked at the menu outside, & there was no mention of gluten free so were ready to keep walking, but a fellow popped his head out the door, & showed us immediately what he could offer gluten free. Because it was between 5 & 7 pm, they also had 5$ negronis & peronnies (?), well sold! It was such a gold star on this vacation, that I had to write a review. We had escargots & they offered salad for me instead of bread, we had octopus, & homemade lamb sausages. It was a warm & comforting atmosphere, just what we needed. This restaurant is a gem.

We were a group of five vegetarians, our lovely waiter worked with the kitchen to create a menu just for us, & for a reasonable price. The food was excellent, delicious. The happy hour negronis were decent. The staff were kind & respectful. The back room was super cool:) I will certainly come back!
