Leo
No.76 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
Chef Leonor Espinosa, the visionary behind Leo restaurant, has just claimed the No. 76 spot on the World's 50 Best 2025 list, cementing her status as an elite force in global cuisine. With a background in economics and art, Espinosa's culinary approach is a daring blend of anthropology, contemporary art, and culture, transforming her dishes into edible masterpieces. Her restaurant offers two distinct experiences: an avant-garde dining room where guests can indulge in an eight or 12-course tasting menu curated by Espinosa herself, and a more relaxed bar and eatery led by her daughter, sommelier Laura Hernández Espinosa. This dual concept not only showcases Espinosa's artistic flair but also highlights her commitment to innovation and family legacy in the culinary world.
