Use of 'no less'

Hi

Does the use of 'no less' sound OK to you you? Are these sentences natural?

  1. The food was unusual, but no less tasty.
  2. This behavior of the lions is highly unusual, but no less savage.
  3. He looked worried throughout the meeting, but no less composed.

Thanks,

Tom

I want a little more. "The food was unusual, but no less tasty for all that."

Mr. TomThis behavior of the lions is highly unusual, but no less savage.

That is possible, but it has the defect that "no less" quacks like the standard expression but has a literal meaning.
