Leo
Colombia
Leo is Leonor Espinosa and Laura Hernández Espinosa’s Bogotá restaurant, built around Colombia’s biodiversity and the communities that work with it. Their CicloBioma Restaurar concept connects cooking, drinks and storytelling, tracing ingredients through ecosystems and the people who grow, gather or catch them. The restaurant offers à la carte dining alongside tasting menus of different lengths. Pairings can combine wine and local beverages or follow a non-alcoholic botanical route. La Sala de Laura develops the drinks side of the concept through fermentations, distillates and regional flavours, with a bar-and-tapas experience bringing cocktails and small plates together. Research into Colombian landscapes gives both food and beverages their shared direction.
