Leila est décrite comme une découverte remarquable mêlant cuisine méditerranéenne et influences nord-africaines, avec des plats savoureux et bien exécutés comme sardines sur toast, poulpe, merguez et pâtes au ragoût, et une carte qui change régulièrement accompagnée d'une sélection de vins et de cocktails soignée. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et cosy, avec une terrasse agréable et un backroom speakeasy qui ajoute une touche originale; le service est généralement salué pour son accueil et son professionnalisme, même si certains avis évoquent des périodes d'attente plus longues ou des portions parfois petites pour le prix. Globalement, Leila est recommandée pour une sortie entre amis, un rendez-vous ou une expérience gastronomique marquée par des produits frais et une cuisine qui privilégie simplicité et saveurs.
The food was quite good but disappointed in so many other ways. The service was terrible . Extremely slow & non engaging . As it was our first time she recommended the'tasting menu' as we were 4 people. Portions were so small I felt like I was robbed . The main course was 3 pieces of swordfish for 4 people how does that make sense ? The food was good but a restaurant is more than just the food & they did not deliver .
Everything about the experience was amazing. The service, the food & the vibes were great. Thanks again to Danny & team for the great recommendations, & the time they took with us. Highly recommend!

Truly Brilliant. The menu changes every few weeks. This chef's slection was loving prepared, certainly adventurous, & unique in its diversity. This Moroccan influenced restaurant is perfect.
Une ambiance chaleureuse, un accueil sympathique, le service excellent! Nous avons goûté plusieurs plats partagés à 4, accompagnés de très bons vins ajoutant à l'expérience. Les cocktails étaient aussi très bons, ce qui démarrait bien cette soirée qui fût parfaite jusqu'au dessert! (excellent gâteau aux pistaches, & quoi dire de ce délicieux dessert au café dont je ne me rappelle pas le nom). Mon coup de coeur va aux sardines & aux merguez! Quelle belle soirée! Même le choix de musique nous a plu!
Les gens qui y travaillent sont tellement sympathiques. Les explications & conseils pour le menu sont clairs & les vins & les cocktails sont recherchés. L'expérience est plus que satisfaisante. Je recommande!

Vraiment une belle découverte!
Cuisine tellement goûteuse
Excellent & même plus du début à la fin
Surprise au palais à chaque mets
Pour une expérience gastronomique mémorable -- j'y retournerai souvent & je dirai à tous mes amis d'y aller surtout avec moi !
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.
