Comptoir Libanais

Kensington & Hyde Park


If your battery is flat after touring the South Kensington museums, this colourful, good-looking and brisk restaurant just round the corner from the Tube station is a moreish stop for Lebanese meze, wraps, tagines (slow-cooked casseroles), mana'esh (flatbreads), lamb and halloumi burgers, salads and fine breakfasts. When the sun's shining, the outside tables quickly fill with munchers and people-watchers. No reservations – just turn up (elbows sharpened).

The 'Feast' menu: meze to share, a main and a shared dessert is £26.95 per person, minimum two people.
