Contemporary Lebanese canteen Comptoir Libanais opened last year at Gatwick’s North Terminal (pictured above), the first for any airport, and the sixth London spot for the brand as the fresh, healthy and tasty Lebanese cuisine becomes increasingly popular.
The Gatwick restaurant offers an extensive, varied and affordable menu including new Lebanese hot breakfasts for the early birds and a take-away service (with easy-to-carry packaging) that means time-pressured travellers can pick up tasty bites to take on board. There is also a large range of low calorie, vegetarian and Halal dishes plus a children’s menu.
In addition to the dining experience, passengers will be able to take a bit of the Middle East with them with a range of products and ingredients available for purchase from hand embroidered bags and Marrakesh to cookbooks, Harissa tins and silver mint tea pots.
The 1800 square foot restaurant is run by TRG Concessions and located on level three of the North Terminal. Light, bright and effortlessly cool, it boasts a buzzy, informal, cafe culture and a modern Middle Eastern ambiance.
Tony Kitous, Founder and Creative Director at Comptoir Libanais says: “We’ve long dreamt of bringing Beirut design, culture and cuisine to people across the UK and coming to Gatwick is a major step towards achieving that. Our healthy mezze platters, dips and bowls are perfect for people wanting to kick-start their holiday enjoying a meal with friends and family or for those that need to pick up food at speed for the plane.”
