MARAVILHOSO! Esqueci de fotografar o pãozinho com a pasta que vem antes da entrada (tudo feito por eles). A comida toda estava muito gostosa, bem temperadinha e saborosa! Eles sempre tem o menu da semana, podendo escolher o prato principal entre 3 opções. Não é um espaço muito grande, ideal é reservar. O atendimento é ótimo, são atenciosos e educados e as opções não demoram a ser servidas. Saio sempre muito satisfeita. Recomendo demais Valor R$ 79,00 (sem bebidas).

nice venue, daily menu with quality organic meals, small bistro, a little pricey and service a little slow...

O melhor restaurante de Porto Alegre em termos de relação entre custo e benefício. Os pratos nunca decepcionam e por vezes estão em um nível muito acima do esperado para um bistrô dedicado a almoço. Embora frequente desde que abriu, nunca me canso da comida do Leo e da Lili. Destaque para os almoços especiais de sábado e para o uso inventivo de ingredientes sazonais, como butiá e caqui. Recomendo o suco da casa e os vinhos produzidos pela família do proprietário, para beber. É melhor sempre reservar mesa.

Almôndegas de porco com purê de batata e couve chinesa, sensacional. Entrada e sobremesa também, nota 10!
