Bistrot Leo

Brought to U by John McDonald of Mercer Street Hospitality this new brasserie takes over the former Sessanta inside SIXTY Soho Hotel.

McDonald has hired executive chef Brian Loiacono, whose experience includes many years at Daniel Boulud’s Bar Boulud and DB Bistro Moderne. The menu offers elevated French classics: steak tartare with bone marrow sabayon, lobster niçoise with deviled eggs, and herb crusted lamp chops with cured egg yolk.

The interior of the erstwhile Italian restaurant is now quintessentially French. There’s a cafe area that spills onto the street, a central bar floral-patterned wallpaper, and both traditional seating and cozy corner booths.

The café serves an all-day menu including breakfast and weekend brunch and once spring has sprung, there’ll be a table on the outside patio waiting for U.
