Such a beautiful, comfy place with delicious vegan food. Even though my burger seemed small at first (and may seem like that in a pic), it was just enough for one hungry person (who doesn't eat little). I came early because Google Maps misguided me and I thought they were already open – during the week they are open from 12 pm, not 10 am. So I waited for a while inside and I enjoyed free WiFi. I ate in and also took a little snack to go. Everything was packed well. I really loved the chilli cheese tower burger and this dessert made of some kind of caramel and nuts ❤
So, what of the question of Le Comptoir serving "authentic Moroccan and Lebanese cuisine"? Well, given the way in which the tagines were presented, including the depth of flavour achieved in all three, and given how impressive the starters were, we'd say pretty darn authentic. It was certainly some of the best tagines we've had in London, and comparable to the ones we've had at Zayane in Notting Hill which is on the Michelin Guide.
Surprisingly, this restaurant is a relatively unknown one within London's Halal restaurant scene; but one that deserves far more recognition for its uncompromising flavours. In fact, one of the starters, viz. the Chicken Pastilla, could just be in the running for our end of year awards, it was that good.
Menu Recommendation
Drink - Apple, Mint & Lemon
Starter - Chicken Pastilla
Main - Any of the Tagines
We had a very tasty lunch at Comptoir V. there was seating outside but we happily sat out front and enjoyed a delicious ‘it’s no jerk’ burger, juicy ‘Kentucky fried jack’ burger, skin on fries and amazing cashew Mac n Cheese. Eco aware takeout packaging and service was great. I can’t wait to be able to eat in soon👌🏾
