Comptoir Libanais South Kensington is an all day Lebanese restaurant at 1–5 Exhibition Road, on the pedestrianised stretch close to the museums and South Kensington station. Its colourful dining room and relaxed approach are inspired by the cafés and homes of Lebanon, North Africa and the wider Middle East.
Mezze encourages the table to share several flavours, with hommos, smoky baba ghanuj, tabbouleh, falafel and cheese samboussek joined by warm flatbread and pickles. Halloumi, batata harra, lentil soup and fresh salads add further variety, balancing creamy dips, crisp textures, herbs, citrus and gentle spice.
Larger dishes move through charcoal grills, wrap platters, tagines and house specialities. Chicken, lamb and vegetables are paired with rice, salad, sauces and bread, while the broad choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes makes it straightforward for mixed groups to build a generous shared meal.
Baklava and other Middle Eastern sweets provide a rich finish, with fresh mint tea, coffee, homemade lemonade, cocktails, wine and beer available alongside them. Daily opening from breakfast into the evening, bookable tables and space for walk in guests make Comptoir Libanais a flexible stop during a day in South Kensington.
