#FLODown: Leggero
Have you ever experienced a completely gluten-free Italian dining experience in London? Well what if we told you that now you can do just that at Leggero. The restaurant is conveniently located right in the heart of Soho and is the only restaurant in the UK to be fully accredited by Coeliac UK.
Leggero is Italian for ‘light’; lightness is truly evident in the brand’s concept and ensures that all their guests can enjoy their tasty recipes. If you’re a brunch fan then they also have a separate weekend brunch menu which is completely delicious.
They take pride in their vegan-friendly and 100% gluten-free recipes, which includes freshly made pastas and breads. There's no fear of cross-contamination so those with coeliac or those who are strictly gluten-free foodies can breathe easy and relax.
During the current lockdown the restaurant is offering a bespoke mix of flours from their website so you can easily recreate and make your own Leggero-inspired meals from your own kitchen.
