Mathias described the meal as fantastic and a must-try in Bogotá, highlighting that most dishes were delicious, beautifully presented, and made with rare ingredients from around Colombia. He particularly enjoyed the incredible amuse-bouches, the creamy seafood rice, the pacu cooked three ways, and the heart of palm dessert.

Michael

Michael described the experience at Leo as a highly formal affair with exotic dishes, some of which were to his liking and others less so. He found the alcoholic pairings mostly okay but did not enjoy the in-house made drinks on their own.
