LEON’s 20th Anniversary Menu: A Culinary Celebration
As the crisp autumn air settles in, LEON, the beloved fast-food chain, is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a special menu that pays tribute to some of their most beloved dishes over the years. To mark this milestone, LEON has brought back fan favorites alongside some exciting new additions, promising a culinary experience like no other.
Stepping into the LEON branch in Holborn, I was greeted by the familiar aroma of freshly prepared food and the buzz of satisfied diners. The menu was adorned with a mix of classic offerings and intriguing newcomers, making it a tough decision on what to order.
Exploring the Unexpected: Chicken Caesar Burger
While I typically gravitate towards wraps at LEON, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try the new Chicken Caesar Burger. Priced at £6.99, this burger boasted a crispy-coated chicken thigh smothered in rich parmesan honey mustard mayo, provolone cheese, crisp lettuce, and zingy pickles.
Despite its less-than-perfect appearance, the burger delivered in flavor and texture. The succulent chicken paired harmoniously with the tangy sauce, creating a satisfying bite with every mouthful. It was a pleasant surprise for a fast-food burger, proving that LEON’s offerings go beyond the ordinary.
Sicilian Delights: Chicken Meatballs with a Twist
My colleague Amy opted for the Sicilian Chicken Meatballs, priced at £6.99, inspired by the vibrant flavors of Sicily. These chicken meatballs were a fusion of Italian cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and fennel seeds, served with LEON’s signature tomato sauce, a dollop of basil pesto, and wholesome brown rice.
Amy thoroughly enjoyed her meal, savoring the Mediterranean-inspired flavors that danced on her palate. Paired with classic waffle fries and a refreshing Trip drink, the Sicilian Chicken Meatballs offered a satisfying and wholesome dining experience.
Unveiling the Birthday Menu Gems
Aside from the classic favorites, LEON’s 20th anniversary menu also boasts exciting additions like the spicy ‘n’ saucy loaded Korean Kimchi Fries priced at £3.99. These fries are a flavor explosion, combining the heat of kimchi with the comforting crunch of fries, creating a dish that is both bold and addictive.
For those with a sweet tooth, the Honeycomb Latte priced at £4.20 for regular is a must-try. This indulgent beverage blends the richness of honeycomb with the comforting warmth of coffee, offering a delightful treat for the senses.
And let’s not forget the Lucky Katsu priced at £7.99, featuring golden chicken nuggets coated in a creamy katsu sauce. This dish is a nod to Japanese flavors, offering a unique twist on traditional fast-food fare.
Our dining experience at LEON was nothing short of delightful—each dish thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and served with the efficiency that has made LEON a staple for quick and delicious meals.
Whether you’re a loyal fan of LEON or a newcomer eager to explore their offerings, the 20th-anniversary menu is a celebration of two decades of culinary excellence. Head to your nearest LEON branch to savor these limited-time delights and join in the festivities.
