About this restaurant

Situated in The Castle Hotel, Leaf is right in the heart of historic Windsor offering casual dining which combines classic British and modern European flavours. Steeped in history and with regal connections, Leaf is the perfect spot for brunch, a leisurely lunch, a delicious afternoon tea and a decadent dinner.

Executive Head Chef Suraj Lokhande works closely with independent suppliers to bring the best flavours to the dishes. The menus include comforting classics, vegan options and British artisan cheeses paired with local beers from Windsor & Eton Brewery. The alfresco terrace is a city oasis which is ideal for dining in the warmer months and enjoying a tipple or two after a day’s sightseeing.

    We had been wanting to try Leaf for some time. The most expensive coke zero...£4 for 200ml. Basically just over half a regular can. The camembert was acceptable...could have been warmer. The accompanying bread was good. Enjoyed it overall. The sirloin steak was very tough and chewy. Not acceptable for an establishment like Castle Hotel. Lovely to sit outside adjacent to the road.

    Lovely Ambience staff nice very attentive however the afternoon tea was presented so beautifully but quite disappointing the sandwiches hardly had any filling at all. Bottle of Prosecco was quite pricey too.

    We were a party of 9 celebrating a significant birthday in the restaurant, as a quiet Monday lunchtime it felt like we were private dining! The acoustics in the room were perfect, as we are large party everyone could hear each other speak! All the staff from the bar when we arrived to the restaurant were welcoming, professional, efficient & friendly. The food was delicious & enjoyed by all. A very happy birthday celebration
