Chef & Story

A kitchen guided by restraint and intention.

Chef Leo Marin

Chef Leo Marin’s cooking is defined by clarity: impeccable product, balanced acidity, and precise technique. After years in classical kitchens across Paris and New York, he returned to a simple idea— that luxury is found in taste, not excess.

At LEO, the menu is built daily around the market. Each course is a study in texture and temperature, presented with understatement and care.

Our story

LEO began as a small supper club—ten seats, one menu, and a promise: every guest would feel seen. Today, the dining room is larger, the cellar deeper, and the techniques more refined. The promise remains.

We believe in patient hospitality, a measured pace, and the kind of evening that lingers after the last sip.

Philosophy

Seasonal. Focused. Elegant. Every detail is designed to disappear behind the food.
