Keep your own review of Comptoir Libanais, Westfield using our diary service.
“This delightful shop and café chain looks set to do for Lebanese food what Carluccio’s Caffès did for Italian – give it ‘affordable chic’ cachet”, says TO’s head reviewer, visiting the new St Christopher’s Place branch of the mini-chain whose début operation was at Westfield. “With such an appealing look and dishes, this growing chain should do well in London’s affluent shopping districts, with Lebanese and others alike.”
