About Cafe and Bistro Tio Leo

Tucked into a small Plymouth bistro with about six tables, this is a cosy, plant-filled spot where the tapas do the heavy lifting — meatballs, hummus, ceviche, fish goujons, dirty fries, and a chorizo and chicken risotto that comes in for constant praise. Portions are generous enough that two or three plates between you does the job, and food arrives quickly even when it's full, which matters with a hungry toddler. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, plus free parking right outside. Tapas also means small hands can pick at things while they wait. It's intimate rather than roomy, so book ahead — last-minute tables aren't guaranteed — and there's a little courtyard out the back if you'd rather spread out. The lemon polenta cake is worth taking home.
