Britain’s Leon “Naturally Fast Food” coming to L Street

1801 L Street, NW

Thanks to Grant for the heads up. This is the former Au Bon Pain space that closed back in March. Their website says:

“When we looked around for inspiration, we were drawn to the richness, flavours and natural healthiness of Mediterranean cooking. We base our food around the Mediterranean diet, meaning our menu focuses on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seeds and unrefined cereals. We look to replace butter with healthier fats such as olive oil, use spices and herbs instead of salt to flavour dishes and look to encourage more chicken and fish in our diets, with a little red meat thrown in for good measure. We do also understand the need to have a treat, be it a glass of red wine or something sweet, but only as a small part of our diet.”

Anyone take a taste overseas?
