Leitun er að veitingastöðum með jafn heimilislegt andrúmsloft og Einar Ben í Veltusundi. Veitingastaðurinn hóf starfsemi árið 1996 og leggur undir sig bæði aðra hæð og ris hússins. Í risinu er notalegur bar og er 1 salur þar, en á annarri hæð skiptist veitingastaðurinn niður í 3 fallega sali sem hafa verið innréttaðir á klassíska vegu.

Gamla húsið fékk að njóta sín við innréttingu staðarins og þar sem veitingahúsið skiptist í nokkur rými fá gestir meira næði meðan snætt er. Falleg og þjóðleg listaverk prýða veggina og út um gluggana má fylgjast með mannlífinu á Ingólfstorgi.

Þetta er staður sem heldur í hefðirnar og í matargerðinni eru áherslurnar á vandaða og aðgengilega matargerð úr íslensku hráefni
