Leonards House of Love

Where love lives—and where South Yarra’s gritty, retro Americana vibe reigns supreme. Forget the pretentious dining scene. Southside burger purists are fiercely loyal to this dimly lit, timber-clad cabin. The draw? Unapologetic, messy comfort food. Burger geeks respect the kitchen’s refusal to conform to the smashburger trend—these beef patties are thick, flawlessly seared, and dripping with melted cheese on a pillowy soft bun. Those chasing a serious kick know the hot chicken burger doesn't pull punches, while true comfort-seekers pour the house’s thick, savory gravy straight into their cheeseburgers. Wash down a plate of crispy popcorn chicken and nacho fries with an ice-cold Iggy beer or a sharp cocktail. Dog-friendly, wonderfully unpretentious, and packed with relaxed energy—just grab a table, switch off, and lean right in.
