LEO's International Flavors Amsterdam in Omval/Overamstel

Unfortunately, this was the one meal in Amsterdam that really disappointed us, particularly because the service and food everywhere else we visited had been exceptional. We waited quite a while to be served and ordered our mains with the wine pairing. Both wines arrived well before the food, including a white wine that was already warm, so they were taken away to be brought back with our meals. The problem was that we didn't have consistent servers. The person who took the wine away didn't appear to know when our food had arrived, while the person who brought the food clearly didn't know we'd ordered a wine pairing. As a result, neither wine came back. We eventually had to ask for them when we were already halfway through eating. Warm white wine and cold food is pretty much the opposite of how a wine pairing should work. The food itself had some good elements. My husband's sauce was delicious, but his pasta was cold and the mushrooms lacked flavour. However tasty a pasta dish might be, serving it cold is always going to spoil it. My burger was perfectly nice, although nothing particularly special, but the chips were cold to the point that I didn't eat them. If you're serving burger and chips and half the plate is left uneaten, someone should really notice. That was probably the biggest issue. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy and there seemed to be plenty of staff, but there was very little attention to what was happening at individual tables. Staff seemed to spend quite a lot of time talking amongst themselves and, when our plates were eventually cleared with a significant amount of food left, nobody asked whether there had been a problem. We raised it ourselves at the end and even had to suggest whether they might offer us a cocktail at the bar. They eventually did, which we appreciated, but we'd much rather someone had checked on us during the meal and had the opportunity to put things right then. The menu is quite limited too, so this isn't a case of a kitchen trying to execute a huge number of dishes. Perhaps we were unlucky, but compared with the exceptional service and quality we experienced everywhere else in Amsterdam, this really stood out for the wrong reasons. It could be so much better, but based on our experience I would avoid it.

We visited the bar 2 and half hours before closing. Ordered only one drink becasue the waiters were totally ignoring us the whole time.

Couldn’t access the resto as I didn’t make reservation yet but I stayed at the bar. The foods were so good and the drink was good also. I am very satisfied.

Stay here regularly for work and normally eat in town but was short on time so ate in the restaurant (Leo’s). Really disappointing, first dish (chicken burger) was warm at best, the chips were cold and at 24 euros I sent it back. Staff were good and happy to swap for another dish. Expensive for very average food unfortunately 🫤

All praise, staff kindness at a high level.

We had a light dinner here and contrary to the other reviews we found our dishes to be quite tasty. The vegan gyoza was flavorful and our chicken dishes were cooked very well. I recommend the Flammkuchen Pulled Chicken! It was very delicious. Our servers were also very kind and helpful. Just wave them down if they don’t come right away! Thank you for the experience!

Excellent restaurant! Impeccable service!

We tried it one evening during our stay at the Leonardo Royal Hotel. The staff were very pleasant and the dishes were delicious and well presented!

Highly recommended. Excellent service. The food is delicious and there's a good selection. Only a few tables and the ambiance is very pleasant.

Restaurant inside the Leonardo Royal Hotel. An excellent option if you're staying at the hotel and don't feel like going out to find a restaurant. I recommend the burger, it's good! Prices are a bit high!

We tried the hotel restaurant for a family dinner. We had baked potatoes as an appetizer and large salads as a main course. It was very good and everyone enjoyed it. The staff is attentive. The location is beautiful and the seats comfortable. We highly recommend it.

I recently ordered the Soto Soup (egg, noodles, crispy onion, and bean sprouts) and was really disappointed. The soup was watery and overly spicy, lacking the rich, flavorful broth I was expecting. While the presentation and service were both great, it’s clear the dish was not thoughtfully prepared. If you’re offering a vegetarian option, it deserves the same attention and care as any meat-based dish. I hope the kitchen revisits this recipe to offer something more flavorful and balanced.

This restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The staff are incredibly kind and go above and beyond to guide you through the menu, offering wonderful recommendations. A truly delightful dining experience!

I recently visited the coffee shop inside a hotel after a long business meeting, hoping for a quick break and a decent cup of coffee. Unfortunately, what I got was far from what I expected. Instead of a simple refreshment, I ended up with stomach pain and full-on diarrhea. The waiter made the coffee terribly, and to make matters worse, the milk was expired. The service was slow and unprofessional, and considering the quality (or lack thereof), the prices were completely outrageous. I expected much more from a hotel coffee shop. Safe to say, I won’t be coming back.

The food was super tasty and fresh. The fries were also well seasoned and crispy. My companion and I both took the “Leo’s Burger” and were completely satisfied - they even asked how cooked the meat was, which is not a given everywhere. The service was also great: very friendly, attentive and always at the table quickly. You felt comfortable throughout. The prices are rather high, but they are absolutely fine for Amsterdam and the quality. If you're looking for a good meal in a pleasant atmosphere and don't want to drive into town again, you're in good hands here.

The food isn't great and is overpriced for what it is. Otherwise, the rest is okay.

Lovely quick diner. Great service.

Amazing service from Karina, and delicious food!

The grill steak was too small, and the meat was quite nervous, fortunately well cooked. My wife had fish and chips: small portion of fish, and 10 fries that fight a duel. Total: €61, with a beer each. We went to have our dessert in the room with the rest of our cookies from the picnic. Very disappointed. In addition, the musical atmosphere imposed on us (loudly) does not at all correspond to what the restaurant wants to inspire in terms of class and refinement. It's a failure.

Loved the hamburger. Was serviced by Karina and Stefania, they made the dinner pleasant!

Amazing place! Great food we had the steak and it was delicious! The staff is great specially Helena who just makes the experience better

Athmosphere ok. Service was blunt and eye-rolling if responses weren’t immediate. Gluten free dishes were not but limited also not respected; the dish was marked as gluten free but was sprinkled with bread. 0/5 won’t go again. Previous night I ordered a steak which was filled with chewy fat parts but decided to give the place a second chance.

The Leo’s burger IS. THE. BEST 🤤🤤🤤

Typical hotel restaurant, efficient service but the food was way below par. The carpaccio of beef looked great but was drowning in pesto sauce. The Caribbean chicken wings (3!!!) was a joke for the price. My colleague said the steak was good quality but small. On a Monday night there were not many other choices.

The restaurant is located in a hotel with an attached bar. Prices for the dishes in the middle range. Dishes very tasty but a little less than expected. (from the supplements) Dessert was also very tasty. Service very nice and friendly. They even pointed out a few peculiarities of the dishes to us.

We waited forty minutes for our food, got scolded by the waiter when we dared to ask what was going on, and they didn't even invest in mixing our salad with the dressing.

It's a quiet place. The staff is friendly and helpful, the service is slow. It has a pleasant atmosphere. I recommend

bit outside the city central but close to a metrostation that takes you direct transport to central.

Great service and Ives quite surprised at how fancy the presentation of my food was. The apple pie was also excellent. The food portions are perfect; even though I’m American, I was pleased with the portion sizes. It’s a little pricey but I didn’t want to have to go back into Centrum to eat so it suffices.

Super friendly service and really good food. Keep in mind that the portions are small, but so so so delicious. We each ordered 2 off the tasting menu + dessert and it was perfect. Really relaxing atmosphere.

Pretentious service. Don’t recommend.

Lunch menu does not have many options and the food is not tasty. Great service staff though. Don’t bother , unless you have no other option. Definitely not value for money

One of the worst food services I have experienced. Waited 25 mins to order and then another 35 to get my food. Then 25 mins to get my bill after I was done eating. Restaurant was not overly busy.

Good value for money for this restaurant located within the Royal Leonardo hotel.
