During my last trip to London, one of the places on my To Eat List was Comptoir Libanais. It basically translates to Lebanese Counter - or as their English name says - Lebanese Canteen. It has grown quite popular that it even has several branches around London.
 |
I went to the one near Bond St. on Wigmore, when I wanted
to take a break from shopping. |
It's literally just a counter. But it's a cozy place if you decide you want to eat in, instead of take out.
I was so hungry when I was there I wanted to eat everything.
 |
| The waitress recommended I have this. |
 |
So this place is totally on my To Eat list again because I want to eat this
as well. Missing tagine from my Morocco audit days. |
Comptoir Libanais has become a household name. They even have their own cookbook, as well as a local deli on site.
When my food finally arrived. I couldn't resist taking pics. Everything was so good, it tasted as good or even better as it looked, or I was really hungry.
 |
| Baba Ganoush |
 |
| Hummus |
 |
| I must admit, whole chick peas adds totally another dimension to texture. |
 |
| Falafel |
 |
| Cheese Sambousek |
 |
| Also known as Cheese Tart |
 |
| Tabouleh and Organic Lentil Salad |
I think I cleaned my plate, except for the pickled chili.
 |
Then I couldn't leave without ordering the Fresh Rose
Mint Tea. |
 |
| It was super good with the Baklava for dessert. |
 |
There are many kinds, but I normally like the one with flaky pastry,
and candied nuts inside. I ordered Hadath and I loved it. |
BTW, the pricing for the pastries is for 4 pieces, but they will let you order just one piece, so no pressure to overeat.
 |
It went so well with the tea that is not as small as it
looks :) |
 |
| Price was very reasonable too. For London. |
 |
The good news is if you miss them in London, they have branches in
Gatwick and Heathrow too! So I was very happy to get another one for the air. |
This place is totally on my Must Visit List when I go back to London in February. Lamb Tagine here I come. Then I will eat from Ady's Mezze Platter. just saying.
