Comptoir Libanais in Crawley

Great menu and great staff. Thank you to everyone to make our night wonderful. Ee do appreciate you and your hospitality. Would visit again.

Great food and top service! Staff are fantastic, incredibly polite and friendly. Food was divine, desserts too

- Gatwick breakfast. Fast and good - Pleasant staff, their nuts,berries and yogurt is a large size and delicious. Croissants were fresh and tasty. Upstairs in departure area, lots of seating.

Lunch stop at Gatwick Waiting for flight tried this for a change excellent service and chicken salad was very good

I was greeted by very friendly staff and looked after by a lovely, Lithuanian young lady. The food was tasty and served quickly. Would definitely go again.

Looked above the Wetherspoons queue and lo we saw Comptoir Libanais, what a relief and the coffee was simply marvellous.

Excellent service and a good deal for your cash. Probably the best meal I've had at Gatwick (over several years of travel through this airport). Will definitely go again the next time I'm there. Food is fresh, fast and really tasty. Service is cheerful and friendly. The restaurant is light, cheerful and colourful - offering items for sale such as baskets and such like. Cost is reasonable, seeing as you are a captive/targeted audience in the airport. Can't believe I'd not been there before - how did I miss it?

Lovely breakfast en route to Madrid. Excellent orange and almond cake, speedy service and relatively peaceful for an airport.

Standard menu for chain. Good portions. Plain decor and no atmosphere. Fairly good service. Not cheap. OK but only just.

A cut above other stuff in north terminal. Fresh and delicious. Really, TA needs more characters?Really, TA needs more characters? This is silly.

Enjoyed a fabulous breakfast here before catching my flight, this place is a hidden oasis amongst the other busy bars and cafes. It’s very colourful, service is great and I would highly recommend it . A perfect start to the day.

Our fave airport mail to date 😋 we move halloumi and we love you Cristina can’t wait for the free cawfee next time xoxo

Dry reheated tasteless, went expecting something a bit different and tasty , got completely the opposite, had lamb and halloumi burger , asked for no bun just a bit of pitta , Got 4 half’s of dry not even warm not even sure if it was lamb meat on top halloumi on top of old lettuce leaves And what was a stale pitta bread , Staff slow and not really bothered

What to say, where to start. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the great service and the friendly staff: nothing to say regarding it. However, food-wise, I definitely do NOT recommend eating here. The food was barely hot and not particularly good.

I called in at this restaurant for breakfast. The Lebanese breakfast was reasonable food, but only tepid, rather than hot. Apart from the coffee, other food and drinks were on the expensive side, which you expect in an Airport Terminal. The staff were friendly and prompt, but the restaurant wasn't busy at 11am.

I love Libanese restaurants and I am generally very satisfied when I visit one. Today I tried this one at Gatwick Airport and it's the first time that I am not satisfied. I ordered mixed grill meat and it was clearly reheated, dry, burnt outside and cold at the same time. I ordered mezzeh and falafel and cheese sambousek were also cold... price also expensive! I suggest to avoid this place.

Excellent Lebanese full and vegan breakfasts. Helpful, friendly and attentive service. Will definitely come again.

I love this place, it does not aim to rip off the captured audience of the North Terminal. The vegan food is great and tasty. Best airport restaurant I have been to ever.

This place is always my first stop when flying from Gatwick North. It's a bit away from all the general hustle and bustle although it's almost directly above Wetherspoons, and it's a bit of peace and tranquility after the stress of check-in and security.

We have eaten here twice in the past 6 months -once for breakfast ( excellent scrambled eggs and smoked salmon !) and once for lunch, both prior to our flights. Although it was bsy on both occasions the service was excellent and the staff very friendly. The food was very tasty and well cooked. We even tried some lebanese wine - very good.

Fantastic breakfast here even though it’s nearly lunchtime. Cristina is a great waitress- best place In Gatwick to wait for a plane!

Oddly, yesterday I had one of the worst airport meal in ages (Shark Cage at SJC - avoid it)

I never ate at this place before perhaps I’m always passing by as I’m regular passenger at this airport. Walking by I decided finally to give it a go and I don’t regret it at all.

Alas there was nothing that the staff could offer me that was gluten free

We had the mixed grill and mezze platter. Both were great and plenty to eat. The Lebanese wine was good, not great, but nice to try as we don’t see Lebanese wine often. Attentive service and reasonable price. Will return if in Gatwick North again.

Our food was amazing. Very good service and care for customer. Very tasty and authentic Lebanese Desserts. Masterpiece. Well done Miguel Carvalho. Thank you for service . Definitely will be back there.

Went to this restaurant in Gatwick airport. Ask if I can order kids meal due to I don’t eat big meal before long flight. Older women was very rude and told me need to get the permission from manager. When She taking my order she dismiss me looks like she was not too happy that I got a kids menu. And she snap at me when I ask a question about the menu. This older women server the worst I ever had.

Excellent tasty food. Beautifully presented- would always have this at Gatwick before we fly. Recommend the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs - cooked to perfection Graciette (server) was a delight Thank you

Cosy environment , good quality food , good price , friendly staff and management . This is a hidden gem and well worth to visit. next time in Gatwick know where to go.

We had lunch here before a flight to Morocco. I had a Lebanese burger which was delicious and my wife had a superb tajine. I also had a Lebanese beer which was a corker and we shared an excellent desert which was iced yoghurt with molasses, honey and nuts. Yummy food and great, quick service. The best meal I have ever had at an airport and trumps everything else at Gatwick. Ignore the rest and go here.

Had a wonderful breakfast here before flying. Delicious food, great service & reasonable price. Even returned my jacket I left behind. Thank you Comptoir Libanais. We’ll be back.

Seeing a huge queue at Wetherspoons, I headed upstairs to Comptoir Libanais to be seated almost immediately. Great menu - mix of western and Lebanese. I ordered the Comptoir Libanais breakfast, which arrived promptly. The food was delicious, service brilliant, speedy and friendly. It was also cheaper than the Wetherspoons equivalent! I would definitely recommend.

We had a beautiful full cooked breakfast here before our early morning flight for our summer holiday, the food was so tasty. Very friendly service and everything was very efficient.

Travelling on one of the last flights out of Gatwick we wanted a preflight meal. The food was so good here we ended up having a full meal helped down by a couple of glasses of very drinkable Lebanese wine.

This Lebanese Restaurant- had a massive long queue when we arrived but really good queue management saw it being handled efficiently. As tables were being vacated, the most appropriate group in the queue was taken resulting in minimum waiting time considering length of queue.

In my opinion probably the best place for a bite and something to drink at Gatwick north terminal. Never really crowded staff are always lovely and you get very good god at very reasonable prices which is why this is always my first choice when passing through this terminal.

Lovely breakfast here before our recent flight to Naples. Hadn’t tried this restaurant before but we were very impressed. Service was quick, food was delicious and prices weren’t too bad. For a change, take a walk up the stairs instead of heading straight for ‘spoons!

Called for breakfast prior to flight - a little slow being shown to table but seemed quite busy. Menu choice was different with a twist on British breakfasts but generally well done and the food was very nice. Service was excellent and staff were attentive and friendly, whilst busy. I would certainly go back again

Food good , staff lovely , warm and efficient. Quite a rarity in airports . Thanks to Anna who looked after me tonight .

We were sitted very quickly, cocktails were lovely and generous on the alcohol amount ;) The food came out quickly too and was hot and tasty. The staff couldn't have done anymore for us either - they were fantastic! Would highly recommend.

Nice to have something rather than a full english for a change. There version was very nice and they offer a service where the bill is brought to you with your food if you’re in a rush

Had a good cooked breakfast ,with a Lebanese twist and coffee. It was very busy and there was a lot of confusion about waiting to be shown to a table.

Had a very good early supper prior to our flight Very busy as it was a Friday night but seated and served quickly Food good tasty and filling Just the ticket!

It's a good place to grab a quick bite while waiting at the airport. Service is quick and food is good. A little pricey but it is expected at an airport

Light & Dark to reflect the two sides of catering. Firstly, the light.. the service which was excellent, despite the restaurant being busy and me being a solo traveller I was seated quickly and service was quick and staff extremely courteous. Now the dark, I have been a regular traveller for 55 years and this was one of the worst full English breakfasts I have ever had. Not over or undercooked but the overall taste just was not right. The flatbread and orange juice were ok but the meal forgettable!

Had the misfortune to go here for breakfast as the other outlets had major queues. Unfortunately the food turned up cold and when returned, wasn’t cooked fresh again, but was microwaved... including the already popped egg, which glued itself to the plate. The bean addition looks like it tasted - utterly foul - one of the worst thing I’ve tasted. Luckily it was small enough to be ignored.

Excellent food. Fair prices. Im always looking out for this restaurant when in gatwick north. Food does not take long, is tasty and consistent.

We looked at the big pub and restaurant near the main toilets, (spoons and weather)but it was so chaotic, we just didn't fancy waiting for a seat among a load of travellers who seemed to be on a mission to get as drunk and loud as they could. We raised our eyes and looked up to see Comptoir Libanais, which looked a lot more peaceful, so we walked upstairs and were given a table by a lovely friendly lady who looked after us as we enjoyed our burger and beer. The food was excellent, the service quick and really friendly. I don't know how they manage to provide all this in a place like Gatwick, but they do, and we highly recommend the restaurant.

It was our first time at one of these restaurants and were pleasantly surprised at the great service and the lovely tasty food - would recommend this place if you are in the terminal

We struggled to find a place to have lunch on a busy Saturday at the airport but we found seats here and the whole experience was great. Wide range of Lebanese food, we chose a burger and a wrap with some pastries for afters. The friendly server told us the waiting time which was fine and the food arrived before. It tasted delicious and the prices were reasonable too. Definitely worth a visit!!

The menu proposed "Falafel & Halloumi Burger: Grilled halloumi, falafel & smooth hommos in a Comptoir bun. Served with spiced cubed potatoes". What arrived was 4 lukewarm falafel, a single slice of cold halloumi (slightly charred on one side) with a spoonful of hummus in flavourless dry bun. And half a plateful of stone cold, plain fried potatoes. Mistakes happen, but the waiter tried to justify this travesty when I complained. To be fair, the menu's cold items looked appetizing. Just stay away from anything supposed to be hot.

We had the shared plate and it was awesome. Mostly because I discovered smoked babaganushe (no idea how to spell it) and actually enjoyed the Lebanese Leger. Add minimal wait times and friendly staff and it’s a 5-star for the price for me!

Visited for breakfast end of April 19. Wetherspoons was packed so tried here. Good and quick service, nice breakfast and decent selection. Needs a bit of tlc on furniture as a few seats were ripped. A pleasant alternative to rubbish lager and a fry up. Veggie friendly

This is a pleasant little restaurant in North Terminal that has a distinctly Lebanese flavour. We like the friendly service here but disappointed with the scarce offerings for those requiring gluten free food items. The coffee and croissants are good as are the various jams and chutneys that can also be purchased here along with other attractive imported goods. This is a good choice for those looking for something a little more exotic to eat.

Didn't expect first-class service, delicious food and delightful ambience when we arrived early for our flight on Monday! What a find! A complete surprise for us as we live in the western Highlands and had never heard of this chain. The place was so well run, clean and tidy and the waitress very pleasant and efficient. Checked on their website to find our nearest one and it is only about 250 miles away in Leeds!! Never mind, if we find ourselves in Gatwick again, we shall surely plan in enough time to eat there again.

Comptoir at Gatwick is the only place I know where mass catering in a travel hub is so good it just feels like going out for a meal. Forgetting you are at an airport while at an airport is a level of Buddha-like enlightenment that is very hard to achieve - so long as you keep an eye on news of your boarding gate!

Had a very tasty meal backed up by efficient and friendly service. Will return next time we are in Gatwick North.

Absolutely wonderful tasty lunch at a great price compared to the Airport food we have had. we had the vegetarian meze and can highly recommend it. the coffee is great as well.

Have been to this restaurant several times; the food is Lebanese and varied; a great menu, for just a snack and drink or a full on meal; its décor is interesting and the staff are polite, attentive and fast; I always try and eat here on each trip if Im at the North terminal; Reasonable prices;

Fast, friendly, filling. Breakfast at Comptoir Libanais is different, somehow more tasty and nutritious. Had a Feta Cheese Wrap with eggs, tomato, garlic, onions, feta and a yoghurt cream dressing. And a cappuccino. Cappuccino was strong as it is supposed to be, wrap was tasty and quite spicy, yoghurt was cooling it down. Great way to start the day and your journey.

We love Lebanese, so we love Comptoir. To find one in an airport is a moment of genuine relief. This is probably the best option you could get as far as airport food goes.

I’d like to start of with the waiting staff - they were fantastic. Just genuinely polite and attentive. Something that seems to have been lost in restaurants over the years. So 10/10 for that.

Stumbled on this restaurant at Gatwick North Terminal. We had breakfast. French Toast that was just incredible. Covered in fruit, figs and Dates and absolutely delicious.Will be back when I fly again.

Stumbled upon this restaurant so gave it a try as it wasn’t too busy. Good choice of meals on menu and decided on a toasted wrap and falafel and hummus which proved to be a good choice. If you find yourself in the North terminal, it’s worth seeking out and a refreshing change from pizza stand burgers.

What a nice change to find such a lovely restaurant while travelling. Staff were friendly and food was amazing.

The food was really great at this airport restaurant. What a nice surprise to find excellent Lebanese food whilst travelling. Good for vegetarians. I will seek out other locations of this chain.

I had a very early flight last week, and visited this restaurant for breakfast for the first time. Staff were genuinely friendly (a bit of a rarity in Gatwick I have to say) and the service was quick.

My wife and I went for a breakfast and the restaurant was very busy. The staff was very professional / friendly. In less than 2 minutes we had a table. Food and drinks arrive in less than 10 min. Very refreshing home made lemonade and smoked salmon scramble eggs. Thank you to all staff.

Not good only ate there because the lift and stairs flytrap you to there lamb sausage unusual is the best I can describe it sourdough toast no normal bread runny scrambled egg english breakfast tea with mint in it empty tin cans with cutlery in it not for me by a long way.

We went for breakfast and we were very impressed- we wanted something different and this place has different options, something for everyone. The decor is eclectic, the portions are great and the service is very good. Really worth a visit. I will be back.

I was hoping to have Lebanese food before I left town, but thought I missed my chance. I made it to the airport 2 hours before boarding, and even though I wasn’t planning to eat, I looked up and saw this restaurant. I don’t typically like eating traditional breakfast, but I was happy to see the options on this menu. I got the Halloumi and Olive wrap, Baklawa mix and Roz’s Lemonade. All three were excellent. The service was good and I appreciated the decor.

Shakshukar was spicy and flavoursome and I would recommend this. The full breakfast is not worth it. If you want a standard breakfast then go to the weatherspoons. The granola and yogurt was really nice too. When we went there was a woman giving 10% vouchers at the bottom of the stairs by the entrance to the weatherspoons. It’s also worth noting that this one I’m reviewing is in the north terminal.

This Middle Eastern restaurant in the north terminal is a nice change from the usual airport food outlets.

It’s down at the opposite Corner from Jamie Oliver, Wagamama and the rest above the usually overcrowded Wetherspoons. It can be a little oasis with a really great selection of dishes with a bit of flavour. The maze platter and the vegetarian breakfast were both super, the staff were efficient and friendly. You can get real tea here too.

The tasty food, the full-of-aromas rose mint tea, the decoration, the music will bring you to this warm country that is Lebanon. On the top of it: the personal is very gentle and professional.

Stopped for a late breakfast. My wrap was delicious and the coffee excellent. My friends all had a variation of a cooked english breakfast and all thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were very efficient and helpful. The surroundings were comfortable and not as noisy as some food places at Gatwick. We will definitely return.

I walked up to the Wheatherspoons and saw the queue and breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way I was going to wait that long for some average to bad food. But what to do for breakfast while awaiting my flight? That was when I saw Comptoir Libanais tucked away in the corner.

Usually go to Armadillo but this seems to have closed so we stopped here for breakfast instead. I had a version of a small full English which had scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, tomato and a few other things and it was very tasty. Service was quick, restaurant itself very nicely decorated and comfy and the prices were very reasonable. Would visit again pre-flight!

You would be daft not to have your breakfast at Comptoir Libanais if you are flying out of Gatwick Airport. It might be a small chain but its got a great authentic feel.

I always call in here for breakfast if I’m flying from the North Terminal - I like the decor, the Lebanese music and the food. It’s tucked in a corner so I always feel I’m stepping away from the bustle.

Bon music oriental et excellent cuisine Libanaise rare sur un airport.

A disappointing early morning breakfast here. Tucked away upstairs away from the crowds good, but service so-so, and the veggie breakfast falafel were really poor. Was so hoping for a lovely middle eastern experience. I should have gone for a different dish perhaps and will know better for next time. It hasn't put me off coming back and I'll try again.

In between flights we have a few hours to spare so went to this place again and were remembered of the food and service we had had the last time we were there Wonderful food and service.

Many more pluses than minuses for an airport restaurant. The decor and ambience was better than most of the competition. I was served by one waitress the whole way through. She was very quick and competent starting with getting the menu virtually the second I sat down, through to answering my questions and taking the order, my, admittedly very simple, requirements were served very promptly. Finally the bill came, along with a card machine, within a couple of minutes of requesting it. That is infinitely better than the normal Gatwick experience!

Went for breakfast & totally loved the food, from spicy egg dish to granola with yoghurt & thick creamy honey, to tea & just toast everything was good. Just needed milk with the granola but once asked for it was provided quickly no problem. Friendly staff & quick service. I had food envy for the scrambled egg dish served close by which looked perfectly soft & creamy. If I'm ever at Gatwick for breakfast again I will eat here definitely. Great choice for eating at north terminal at Gatwick.

There are lots of big chain restaurants at Gatwick. This is a franchise also but it is a bit different, a bit special. The service is attentive the staff is friendly and the food is unusual but very good. Always a good place to start any trip.

Wonderful menu selection with lots of light Mediterranean dishes, perfect to take on your journey or enjoy before departure. The fresh juice was particularly good.

Had a snack lunch while waiting for our flight. Ordered a vegetarian wrap plus a chicken wrap to share. Both were nice but the small salad bits with them were poor and looked as if they had been exposed for a while. Tea and lemonade also good. OK for an airport meal.

I ordered the breakfast wrap. I didn't expect too much in an airport but my food arrived in about 3 minutes. The wrap was dried out and the ingredients a little dry and rather tasteless. How can they cook eggs and sausage then wrap it in a hot tortilla in just 3 minutes? They can't. I would have said something but despite being only about 25% full I was never asked. I wasn't asked if I wanted anything else and had to work hard to get my bill. Overall probably worth another attempt but I won't hold out much hope!

I had a long time to wait for my flight. Loved finding this place, tucked away, good food, and friendly service.

I just tried here this morning for some breakfast. I picked it as it was much less busy than the other restaurants with lots of free tables so I thought the service would be quick. I was shown to a table by the hostess and I told her I was ready to order straight away. I then spent a while staring around the restaurant trying to catch a servers eye while a few of them walked past. After a while the hostess walked past again so I asked her how long she thought it would be for food service as I was in a slight hurry and wondering if I had enough time before my flight, she simply shrugged her shoulders at me and walked away. At that point I was disappointed in the service so I just left and went to Garfunkel’s instead, which, although much busier, took my order straight away and answered my question about food service time in an accurate and friendly manner. As an airport restaurant, speedy service should be a priority. I was willing to wait a bit longer but the reason I left was that the staff’s attitude was quite poor and it didn’t reassure me or make me want to stay. Based on today’s service I wouldn’t go back.

Comptoir Libanais at Gatwick Airport is the standard pricey airport restaurant. It sells itself on Lebanese food, which it makes a decent attempt at. If you werent at the airport and had a wider selection of choices, youd eat elsewhere! Average!

I like Lebanese food and it is ok here - better than typically airport garbage but OMG the service is so terrible. I travel through this airport every month and keep giving up on coming here and then try again thinking the staff will have changed. Well they do regularly but the service is consistently - rubbish. Definitely only recommend if your flight has a really long delay - say 4 hours or so before risking it. You should also be of a good nature so you don’t risk getting banned form the airport for shouting at the staff - oh and really long and strong arms would help as you will spend most of your time waving hen about trying to get someone’s attention. Oh and bring your own cutlery as it is always filthy!

Let's be honest, nobody with some common sense would ever expect to taste the authentic flavors of Middle East in a European airport. This said, let's get 8nto the meat of the matter. Comptoir Libanais claims to offer its patrons the Flavours of Lebanon, so I decided to give this joint a go. I have to hand it to them - it's the only eatery in North Terminal with enough colors to make you forget how miserable life is when your flight is delayed. Seem ed an encouraging beginning, so I ordered a wrap plate - Lamb Kofta plate for 9.95 GBP plus drinks. My intro line says it all about flavor - nowhere near the ones I used to enjoy in the Middle East: no spices, no kick, nothing. Besides, the menu claims that the wrap is served with salad (undressed), hummus (decent) and pickles (PLURAL). My plate had only ONE.

We have eaten here before and food was acceptable. 6 cooked meals ordered all served cold to Luke warm, 2 meals returned and replaced, but only just warm and one included a strand of hair!!! Waitress told my wife it was part of the egg! Both meals again rejected and we didn't want replacements, waitress then told us that they had a problem in the kitchen and couldn't keep up with demand!!

Visited this establishment as it had been recommended to us by a friend. Not disappointed, not too busy, friendly waiting staff, good food served swiftly, coffee was excellent.

I looked up this place on tripadvisor purely to get a decent cup of joe whilst waiting for my flight. I’m quite a snob and this held up to the reviews. Lovely flat white. Nothing special, but well crafted smooth and strong.

J'ai passé un très bon moment dans ce restaurant (pour un aéroport). Principal bon point la cuisine : elle a du gout, et vraiment ce que l'on peut attendre d'un restaurant libanais. Pas aseptisé ou fusion, juste les saveurs annoncées. L'accueil était sympathique et l'endroit assez calme, le prix honnête. Je retournerai sans hésitation lors de mon prochain passage.

I love coming here when passing through Gatwick. The food is amazing and I’m always met with polite and friendly staff, especially Eugenia and Lara. I thoroughly recommend coming here and have never seen anything that would give anybody cause to write a lesser review. Fantastic!!!!

Restaurant was almost empty in the morning. Not much selection. The food was awful - luke warm and hard and overcooked!
