This place was recommended by a friend. Parking was tough & called in to say we may be a bit late & we were comforted that our table would be waiting. Once there, we were warmly received. Our waiter Danny was excellent. Was very enthusiastic about his presentation & adept in both French & English. Decor was nice as well as the atmosphere. The wine list was good but not many value options. Thought that pricing was high & could use more lower price options. I liked the small'market fresh' menu. As for the food, there were some winners & some losers. The buratta straciatella was good but the brown butter wasn't browned enough in my opinion. We were told easily shared among us 4 but better for 2. The sardines on toast was delicious & again, good for 2. The bitter salad was excellent & was a play on a Caesar salad & that was ok for 4. The merguez sausage was by far the most disappointing dish of the night. As soon as the plate was placed on the table, I could smell how gamey the lamb was. It was way too strong & they said it was Quebec lamb but smelt more like New Zealand. Nobody at the table was a fan. Three at the table took pasta as their mains & the portions were quite small. The cavatelli fagioli was ok. Nothing really special about it. My Guinea fowl was well prepared & juicy with crispy skin. The beans on top were ok & I find detracted from the delicate meat & I found the $58 price tag a bit steep. The food was very homestyle. With a few adjustments to portions & plate composition, this place could easily be 5 stars. The highlight was definitely the service which is a great place to start.
Une expérience remarquable : la cuisine est savoureuse, les cocktails sont excellents & la sélection musicale parfaitement adaptée. Mention spéciale à la salade amère gourmande, à la fois délicate & délicieuse!
I am very happy to report that our experience last night was truly amazing. At first, we were a bit perplexed by the menu. There are only about 10 items. We ordered a salad, two pasta dishes, & the Cornish chicken. Long story short, the Cornish chicken was by far one of the best chicken I've had in my entire life. The best dishes were awesome, the salad was really good. Every meal was spot on. Not only the recipes are amazing, but most importantly the execution was flawless. Absolutely flawless. To add to all this, the desserts were truly amazing. Not some fancy I can type of dessert. But very good pistachio cake, & amazing basque cake with peaches. Last but not least, everybody was super friendly & a service was awesome. We can wait to go back.
a delightful dive into the rich flavors of the Mediterranean. This charming restaurant embodies the genius of simplicity, with no forced themes, instead opting for an authentic experience that focuses squarely on the food. From the cloth napkins to the plates my grandma would have, it felt like being invited into someone's home.
We started with the sardines on toast, which might be one of the best entrees I've ever had. Equally surprising was the bitter lettuce & artichoke salad. Something I typically never order - yet here, it was a revelation. The balance of flavors & the vibrant presentation transformed my perspective on salads entirely.
Finally, the pesto cavatelli was beautifully crafted & wonderfully fresh.
To accompany the meal, we couldn't resist the $5 special on Peroni & Negroni (that rhymes).
Seated on the terrace in a laid-back atmosphere surrounded by fragrant basil plants & the gentle hum of good music, we truly felt comfortable.
A celebration of Mediterranean cuisine in its most straightforward form. No need for extravagant flair when the food speaks for itself. A restaurant that values quality & simplicity.
EXCEPTIONAL.
Service was absolutely top tier. We collectively ordered most of the menu, & the least good thing I could say was one of the salads was a simple, classic, French bistro style, which was expertly executed, but just less exciting than their imaginative take on a caesar. Great cooking. Great vibes. Solid cocktails. Definitely get the octopus.
Incroyable soirée au restaurant Leila. On a tout aimé: le service, le staff, l'ambiance, la musique, le vin, la bouffe! LA BOUFFE! Je sais que le menu change régulièrement, mais nous avons essayé les escargots, les merguez, la salade de laitue amer & artichauts ainsi que les cavatellis aux pois & agneau. Je me surprends à dire que le meilleur plat était la salade, non seulement parce que tout était excellent, mais parce que ça reste une salade. Honnêtement, elle était parfaite. Les merguez étaient goûteuses, les escargots savoureux, les pâtes fraiches & parfaitement salées. Je n'ai rien à dire de négatif sur notre soirée. On y retournera définitivement. 5 étoiles, 10/10! Bravo Amine & toute l'équipe pour cet immense projet.
Great food & service at Leila. The bitter lettuce & artichoke salad, pasta dishes & the skate fish all amazing! Cozy atmosphere with excellent & attentive staff. Highly recommend!
Absolutely fantastic experience at Leila! The sardines on toast, seafood salad, bitter salad, & cod cheeks were all exceptional - fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The wine list was spot-on, & Chef Amine's energy & passion truly came through in every dish. A must-visit for seafood lovers!

The salad is a simple yet standout dish-fresh, crisp greens, perfectly ripe tomatoes, & a light dressing that brings everything together beautifully. It's refreshing & full of flavor, proving that the best ingredients don't need to be complicated to be amazing.
Then come the sardines, & they are next level. Grilled to perfection with a light crisp on the outside & tender, juicy inside, they're seasoned just enough to enhance the natural flavors without overpowering them. Every bite is packed with bold, rich taste-a perfect balance of tradition & expert execution.
But Leila isn't just about one or two great dishes. From comforting, slow-cooked tagines to perfectly grilled meats & flavorful sides, every plate is made with passion & care.
