Leu Leu

Cute cozy spot with live dj on weekends. Food menu was small and overall tasted good. Just serves wine and beer. My only dislike is they tell you as you are checking in with the host that there is a $20 cover charge if you sit inside to help pay for the DJ. I think that should be noted when you make the reservation and honestly I think it should be the restaurants responsibility to pay their talent not the customers. Was in poor taste in my opinion.

Great ambiance both inside and outside and excellent service! We had the Bluefin Tuna Crudo, Brisket Ends in Salsa Verde, Tomato & Cucumber Sesame Salad and a bottle of wine. All were excellent and ingredients were very fresh.

Chef Jason led his team to five consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recognitions at Dija Mara, so I am excited to see what the future will hold as he is now the new chef at Leu Leu in Leucadia. The whole market fish, roasted winter vegetable salad, and Smyrna-style meatballs were so good, I would order them again.

Hidden gem in Encinitas. Loved the atmosphere, decor, food and service. A must-go if in the area if you’re looking for quaint!
