Comptoir Libanais in Bath and North East Somerset

Lovely restaurant, food was lovely, much needed after a day of exploring in Bath.

The atmosphere and deco are really nice and food is delicious and tastes really authentic ! We really loved it and highly recommend it. We had the tajines with couscous and the lamb rice bowl. Perfect!

For the cost the portions were very small, particularly the hummos and baba ghanuj, and the Kofta was nowhere near worth paying £17.95. I will not order from or visit Comptoir Libanais again.

The food was really good and the service was really good

Food was delicious and atmosphere in restaurant was lovely, it is very well decorated! Really enjoyed all the mezzes, only feedback was we were in a group of 4 and a lot of them only had 3 pieces (so maybe just give a heads up for groups wanting to share!). Really enjoyed and hope to come back

A super variety of Lebanese dishes, and very helpful staff. I had the salmon with chickpeas, which was delicious, everyone in my group really enjoyed their food.

Joumana was lovely and great service 🌺🌟

Excellent dinner last night in a lovely venue. The manager was friendly and welcoming and helped highlight some great dishes to try. The food itself was excellent, bursting with flavour, warmth and spice. All the dishes were superb but my favourite was the Chickpea and Cauliflower tagine. Also a great number of vegetarian options so can recommend that. The rose and mint tea at the end was a lovely treat and palate cleanser. Overall a great evening will be coming back!

I ordered Sprite, you supplied Coke

Had a lovely meal here . The food and drinks were superb . All the staff were friendly and very helpful.

I decided to spend my birthday with my family at Comptoir, and it really didn't disappoint! We were greeted by a lovely server (Ishita) who was very attentive and friendly - also very knowledgeable on the menu too. I had such an enjoyable meal and the atmosphere was incredible. Hands down my favourite restaurant in Bath! 💕

If you are a lover of great Lebanese cuisine this place will not disappoint. The ambience is very welcoming and authentic. The staff is attentive but the younger ones could do with a bit of training. The dishes are of a good size and value(a bit on the expensive side). The food is very tasty, flavours lasting, presentation very good. We returned the next day to try the rest of the menu. Great place. Thank you

The service was terrible, I had to wait over 45 minutes to receive just a small dish of hummus which was served without bread! I was also served the wrong drink! The dishes served are very small. In addition, people who had come well after me...were served well before me, despite there being several people! To all this...I was charged £4 for this service...non-existent! In addition, they do not accept cash payments!

Terrible service, more than 40 minutes of waiting to bring a soup. They served without priority in order of arrival. They got confused and brought other diners' food and above all, they don't accept cash, only credit cards. In addition to charging a supplement, according to them for service, apart from the menu.

The food was nice and tasty, but the prices are little too much for the portion served. Great location. I don't like when they added to the bill the service charge which was £5.

Comida increíble, servicio increíble como siempre! Mi experiencia gastronómica en comptoir Libanais Bath fue realmente excepcional, desde el momento en que entramos en Mark el gerente es siempre un anfitrión excepcional siempre amable y acogedor. ¡He recomendado a todos mis amigos y familiares y seguiré haciéndolo!

The food was good very interesting menu. The service charge added at 12% on the bill is off putting but you can ask for it to be removed.

Delicious dinner and great service. I particularly enjoyed the fresh flatbread and dips.

Came here on a Friday night, nice welcome but then the service just went down hill, we were popped in a quiet corner which was nice but then resulted in us just being forgotten, we had to get up to get someone’s attention everytime we needed anything. There was plenty of staff on but they were more interested in chatting amongst themselves or dealing with takeaway delivery drivers. When we did get someone’s attention to order it was then very quick to come to the table. The food was absolutely spot on!! I would love to return for the food but the service was just so disappointing and the toilets were filthy!! The walls, the door, under the hand dryer, rubbish on the sink and the toilet roll holder hanging off the wall, you could tell it wasn’t a one off this is months of not being checked/ cleaned properly. Such a shame! Well done to the chefs but the rest just resulted in a poor experience on our anniversary.

Delicious food! Beautiful gorgeous aesthetic in the resturant, a very pleasant place to be. We got a mixed grill and a mezze platter for 2 which was a great combination to try multiple different courses and filling. Recommend their blood orange and pomegranate drink.

Beautiful environment and great food.

We love the food and especially the drink cheery and coconut cooler

Great food, quickly delivered and a very personable waiter

Great place amazing staff good food definitely worth an other visit

I went for dinner with someone special person I tried mixed platter and falafel and fish everything was nice , staff was welcoming and we had good time .

Lunch was lovely. We both had the open wrap lamb platter. Very tasty & generous portions with lots of veg & delicious sauces. My only complaint is that it was too salty. However, I've been following a low-salt diet so I'm probably more salt-sensitive than most!! The service was great, very friendly & helpful. For a chain restaurant, this is fab.

Went for a meal here a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with the decor. The food was very good. I had the lamb tagine. Marked a bit lower for 3 things. 1 - desserts didn't come out at same time for all the party. 2 - price is very high 3 - toilets were pretty dirty. Especially the floor.

Nunca bonita decoración, pero eso es lo único positivo, el servicio era lento, la comida era promedio en el mejor de los casos, si pudiera marcar más bajo de 1 estrella lo haría, sin duda no relación calidad-precio, las porciones eran extremadamente pequeñas, teniendo en cuenta patético por el dinero ... una experiencia muy drab que me dejó sintiéndome extremadamente estafado! ... Mcdonalds habría sido un grito mejor, y comida más sabrosa!

Prettiest CL I have ever been to and very friendly service. Absolutely fresh food. Loved the atmosphere and hospitality

Delicious food and very helpful staff. I went there before The Forum and I will go there again

Wow wow wow!!! What amazing food! Great staff and lovely environment. The food was well presented and soooooooo tasty!! If you are in Bath, this is a must visit.

Pasé un domingo tranquilo por la noche, y me quedé satisfecho. El personal era acogedor y eficiente - las órdenes llegaron rápidamente sin sentirse apresurado, y eran muy educados. El espacio en sí ha sido renovado muy bien, capturando la decoración de Oriente Medio perfectamente y proporcionando una sensación auténtica. Las carnes fueron asadas por expertos y fueron muy bien complementadas con una porción de arroz. Sin embargo, el único signo de interrogación es la relación calidad-precio - hay unos pocos restaurantes libaneses independientes (particularmente alrededor de Bristol) que ofrecen una mayor porción de comida de alta calidad por un poco menos. Sin embargo, esta sigue siendo una gran opción para cualquiera en la zona.

The food overall was good. But I was not fond of the presentation. The mezze served in one plate with the sauce from the tabouleh drenching the hummus, the labneh and the falafel was not pleasant to the eyes and the mouth. The whole idea behind an authentic Lebanese mezzeh is misrepresented here.

Restaurant is Amazing in terms of Ambience. But seating isn't great. Food is delicious but expensive. It's a shame to see an Arabian restaurant sharing so less quantity for the price charged. Usually, the Arabs are the pinnacle of generosity. No offence. I recommend it to someone who wants to mark a special occasion and has big pockets.

Gorgeous food, lots of choice - will be back!

Food was amazing and atmosphere was really good. Staff where really friendly and had our food out to us fast. Would highly recommend this place.

Amazing, place, good food, service amazing

Absolutely brilliant... The food.. perfect The service.. perfect The ambience.. perfect Only one downside.. the owner/manager supports Chelsea 🤣🤣 Thank you for a lovely evening..

Popped in for a glass of wine with the wife, what a fantastic venue, atmosphere was great, wine was also great, Mark the GM was so accommodating, couldn't do enough, will definitely recommend to friends and family if ever in the bath area (city) to pop in.

Tuvimos una comida encantadora aquí para el cumpleaños de un amigo. El servicio era increíble (gritó al encantador Ali) y la comida era deliciosa. Sin duda volveré.

Food really good (lamb tagine) service pretty poor the waitress staring down at her phone for majority of service , manager didn’t seem to care . Reluctantly paid 12.5% service charge

Great service from a lovely lady and excellent food. Highly recommend falafel, lamb kofta and chicken schwarma. Excellent blonde beer as well👍

We visited today and the food terrible also we saw the hair in the food.l will never visit again

The atmosphere was nice with decorations. But unfortunately the food had a lot of spices and the chicken shawarma we ordered had HAIR in it. The restaurant staff wasn’t so apologetic about the hair and they didn’t offer to remove it from the bill as well.

“I visited this restaurant today, and unfortunately, I had a very unpleasant experience. I found a hair in my food, which is completely unacceptable and unhygienic. It ruined my meal, and I was very disappointed with how the staff handled the situation. Cleanliness and hygiene are fundamental in any restaurant, and I strongly suggest the management takes this issue seriously to ensure it doesn’t happen again. I would not recommend this place to others unless significant improvements are made.”

£50 for bread and hummus. Tiny portions. Don’t bother.

My experience right from booking for our work Christmas meal was excellent. Mark was so helpful in helping me arrange the table and sort the details in the run up, and Duke (Juke* sorry I'm not sure of the spelling) was great in greeting us and settling us in when we arrived. I had an issue with the preorder online forms in that it was not possible for people to choose 2 courses rather than 3, but on contacting the restaurant Mark resolved our issue really easily and suggested we email our preorder directly. Iya looked after our table of 13 on the night and was brilliant in managing our group which is not easy I know, she was friendly and lovely! Just really impressed with the customer service in general thanks so much Comptoir. Everyone had a lovely time!

Small portions, high prices, poor food

special mention to the lady who delivered the food. the address wasn't quite right. she did not give up, after several minutes on the phone we got there, food delivered. thanks for not giving up on my delivery!

Una gran parada si te apetece un gran almuerzo mientras compras. El menú es extenso, tuve pollo taouk que era carne a la parrilla servida con ensalada y arroz. Fue sabroso. Para el pud tuve un pastel de naranja y almendras - decorado con rodajas de dulces de cuchara de naranja. Deliciosa. Lavada con un vaso de rosa. Me gustaría visitar de nuevo

Sadly a menu change. The mixed grill has always been great but over past year definite shrinkflation going on as prices rise. Sticking cheap chicken wings in a mixed grill is a bit of a cynical move by the bosses . Glad I didn't pay to 'go large' . Unfortunately this place feels a long way off where it started . Always felt less like a chain but now feels very much like that.

Amazing food, great and friendly staff.

Really nice place to go for a quiet lunch, delicious food and good service. Recommend the fresh mint tea. Had to wait for my friend to arrive and was made to feel very comfortable doing so. I would be happy eating in there as a solo diner, which is something I value highly in a restaurant.

Came tonight around 7pm with family, was served by a lovely lady who said her name was Steph. The atmosphere was very beautiful and friendly, we had a mixed grill platter and others which were very delicious and came quite quickly. Service was wonderful and quick. Highly recommend!

We went on a very busy Saturday. We did not know you have to book table during Christmas time as they are very busy. The manager was very helpful and sitted us outside and did not forget about us. We had a great service celebrating my birthday there. The food is geourgeous as always.

We arrived at 5:30 for our meal. It was our friends birthday and she really wanted to have some great Lebanese food. We received our drinks promptly but were then waiting for our food for over an hour. We checked with our original server twice only for her to then avoid speaking with us for the duration of the night. Noah was great! He came over and sorted everything out for us, even mentioning our wait to the manager who then offered us a discount and a free dessert for my friends whose birthday we were celebrating. If it weren’t for Noah, I am unsure what would have happened with our food. 1 star taken off service because of the original server and her avoidance of our table. We hope to come back soon!

Visited for dinner on a Monday evening. Fab decor. Very attentive staff. Food was really tasty and generous portions.

First ever visit here, from arrival we were made to feel very welcome before being shown to a table. The food and drink menus were vast with so much selection The young lady serving us explained the menu and detailed ingredients in specific items we asked about The food itself was very tasty and sufficient sized portions Highly recommend a visit

Decor was great. Order was taken promptly. But thats where good experience end. Order took 45 min to arrive and when it did. Most of the dish was burnet. When it came to paying the bill. They given us the wrong bill and when they were informed about it; extra money had to be paid.

We are having a mini break in Bath and decided Comptoir was a good choice as we love it at home in Exeter. We were really let down by this evenings customer service. Very disappointing. After being initially shown to our table, we were then ignored by the waiting staff for about 20-30 minutes. Its a Wednesday evening and the restaurant was quiet. The staff just appeared more focused on cleaning the empty tables and setting them back up. No prioritising going on. Eventually we had to ask a waitress who was again passing us by, if we can finally order please. The food came out and but still no drinks, bearing in mind by this point wed been in the restaurant for about 40 minutes. They brought these out several minutes after our food was served. And then I had to remind the waitress about the water we'd also asked for. Delicious food as always, we can't fault that. Once our plates were cleared and we said no thank you to any dessert, we then sat there for another 20 mins before we eventually managed to get the attention of a waitress to ask for the bill. She then went on clearing tables and setting up for the next day for what seemed like ages, so we then got up to get our coats on and tried to get attention once again and had to ask for the bill again.We have been to the Exeter restaurant countless times and always had excellent customer service to match the perfect food. So tonight, sadly, at Bath Comptoir, ot was a let down.

Really lovely restaurant, the food was all delicious and freshly made. The flat breads were super yummy and all the food was nicely seasoned. Their lemonades are a must try and super refreshing as well. Really like the decor as well, creates a really nice atmosphere. Definitely one to visit if you're in Bath

Pathetic experience! Very rude and unprofessional staff! After having good time few years ago, I decided to visit this restaurant again on 10th Nov which turned out to be a disaster. We were a group of 4+ 2 children. Firstly the food portions were substantially less. The waiter who served us was very uninterested, and rude. He was showing us frustrated gestures and making faces when we asked him help with the menu. Secondly he didnot explain us properly about The Feast (player) and left us very confused, however we ordered. When he brought us the starter plater which we were not expecting the way it came and he said this is what he ordered and this is what it is. The mains followed the same; very small portions and smell in ch wings. We ordered additional rice which after waiting 15 mins; came as chips I told him that we ordered rice not the chip. Then he got the rice and threw the bowl on the table very rudely !! We decided to just pack up and leave the restaurant becaus of all this, in the deal there were tea and backlavas included with in the deal. We were not offered that until we reminded the him (the waiter) in which he said we don’t have tea. On which he said we don’t have tea. Then I asked him to get the backlavas in a take away box. Then We got the 2 small stale backlavas Well the overall bill which we payed were £125. The food was over priced with very small portions Due to. Absolute disgusting staff behaviour and the food. I’m not going back to this rubbish restaurant

Good coffee and excellent service. Like the outdoor area too.

Female server was great. Friendly and patient. Thursday evening shift, a keeper!

Good evening very friendly staff. Food took ages to come. Long wait in-between courses.

I was really impressed by the decoration. The service was excellent (very attentive waiters and waitresses), and food was simply exquisite.

I ate here and enjoyed the whole experience, food was delicious, service was friendly and professional and the atmosphere was lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant

Always a fun place to sit down and eat in. Good location and good food.

amazing fish dishes with the best salmon, everything is seasoned well and a dining experience you will not forget joined with authentic teas that soothe your senses

Delicious meal with amazing falafel in the mezze!

Had a super meal here, excellent food and well worth a visit

The most beautiful , serene restaurant in bath , wonderful food and drink , a soul warming atmosphere and bright energy , not to mention the most nicest staff who give you the best service in the world

Absolutely ‘yummazing’ and perhaps the best Lebanese food I have eaten in a long, long time. I have lived in the Middle East for 2 decades and have eaten this cuisine almost every week. I loved the food and the service so much , that I went for two back to back lunches. Thank you, Duke for your super service and recommendations. If I come back to Bath again, this is first restaurant I will visit again. I tried the Zaatar bread /Manaakish with garlic on both days, steaming hot right from the oven. An absolutely decadent delight. The Shish tawouk as the main course was superb with the salad and rice. The next lunch was the chicken kebab, hummus ; superb again - the two sauces ( garlic -tuom & red sauce) are an absolute must. Duke was kind to offer a complimentary ‘fattoush’ as i had enquired about it and as a solo diner I couldn’t order another portion. Fresh, crunchy veges, the dressing just right.. Highly recommend and a must visit.

We had the Prix Fixe menu, which we thought was good value. All the food was delicious. We also had the Beirut beer, which was excellent.

Amazing service from everyone and really beautiful:)))

We went for our anniversary dinner. Food amazing as always but very slow cold service. Had no cutlery when food was given and couldn't find staff to ask. Had to go looking around tables for some. Probably will do takeaway in the future.

All round great experience from start to finish. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The food quality and portion sizes were great. The food was served piping hot and looked as good as it tasted. Highly recommend. If I was staying local longer I would have eaten there again.

Lovely and friendly as well as delicious menu. So love the mezze… actually it’s all good! Very friendly and efficient service too.

excellent choice in bath, great service, food, and atmosphere. The chicken tagine wasn’t authentic, but the coscos was. I recommend the feta bread.The fattosh was good.

I always come here for the mixed grill. And this never disappoints me at all. Thank you chef victor for this amazing food

Certainly! Here's a more polished and professional version of your review: "Undoubtedly one of the finest experiences with Middle Eastern and Lebanese cuisine. I ordered the Meza Veg and Mixed Grill, and as someone who has spent over a decade in the Middle East, sampling countless varieties of the region's food, I can confidently say the dishes were exceptional. The meat was succulent and tender, cooked to perfection. The ambience was stunning, creating an atmosphere that truly elevated the dining experience. However, the service initially fell short of expectations. Upon being served water infused with mint, I discovered insects in the glass. This unsettling incident nearly prompted me to leave, and the waiter's indifferent response—replacing the water without an apology—was disappointing. Thankfully, a lady and another gentleman later stepped in, offering warm and welcoming service that helped turn the situation around. The food itself is beyond reproach—if I could, I would rate it a perfect 10/10. However, I must emphasize the importance of maintaining cleanliness, which is why I am giving an overall rating of 3 stars. With such incredible food, attention to cleanliness and service would make this restaurant truly outstanding."

Extremely worrying and poor customer service at this restaurant. Very disappointed by the staff’s lack of care and inadequate training.

We've eaten here a few times over the last three years as the decor and atmosphere is good and food and service too, but I did feel somewhat disappointed when I last popped in for a quick lunch. Wanting something tasty and nutritious to eat before walking home, the limp, tired salad I was given after several promptings for service, didn't tick any boxes neither did paying just short of £8. The highlight of the meal was the fresh mint in the jug of tap water.

The food here is amazing! Went along as a solo for a work trip, great service, the chicken wing starters were amazing! Definitely check it out

We visited this restaurant on a Thursday evening and we’re pretty lucky to get a table as it was very busy. We loved the feel and look of the place. It felt very authentic. Although it was busy, the service was quick. We ordered 3 mezze between us as a starter and found it was plenty of food for 2 people. On the menu it recommends 2 to 3 per person. I’d suggest you’d need a very healthy appetite to eat that amount if you’re having a main course as well. I had the chicken tagine with couscous which was Devine. The whole meal was superb and not overly expensive at just over £100 for 2 people including a bottle of wine and service charge. Highly recommended

I went there, expecting or hoping to hear that Lebanon had a unique language, but discovered to my surprise that English & French, is spoken there very often & (no surprise to me) that they speak Arabic too. I was able at least, to 'try' SOME Arabic, but mostly English, with the waiter who took my food order, but also spoke some (central/south american) Spanish! with the waitress who served my order (she was from Sri Lanka, but speaks no Sinhala? or Tamil, which I beieve are 2 languages of Sri Lanka). Her English is excellent as it is from everyone I spoke to there. So I was able to say "thank you, the food was lovely", in English, Arabic, & Spanish! The food, as expected was very nice - I had the Pitta Bread with Hummus to start, then Lamb Kofta with Rice & some Salad. For my Drink I had Elderflower Spritz - but will not have THAT drink from there again as it has 'soda water' in it, which I dont like. If, or more likely when, I go there again I will have a diffrtent drink - their 'mocktails' & soft drink list is quite large. Having a '2 course lunch' - starter & main plus a drink - cost me £33.92. A little higher than I usually pay, IF I have a late lunch in town. £25 is usually my limit on the rare occasions I go to a 'proper resteraunt'. A nice meal & 1 drink at £25 is getting harder to find when 'going Solo'. If, like me, you have a problem with seeds of tomato, red/yellow/green/orange peppers, or those from Chilli or with pickled (rather than fresh) cucumbers, you will need to ask the waiter if any of that is in their dishes, & tomato is used in a lot of them - they do not remove such seeds first, unfortunately (it is the seeds I have a problem with not the fruit 'born' from the seeds. Very nice food, background music (Arabic I think), very polite waiting staff. Not really 'expensive', but It will be a while before I go back, as £8 over my spending limit can't happen that often!

Awesome spot in Bath for a Lebanese. The decor perfectly matches the menu and atmosphere. Decent portion sizes. Service charge already applied to the bill let's down a star though.

Food is alright. Nice Hummus. But a bit too expensive for the value.

Beautifully decorated and inviting. A few improvements would make it more special and worth another star. Portions a little small considering price. Buttata Harra nice buy a tad dry. Falafels fantastic but again could do with a bit of tahini sauce to moisten. 12.5% service charge would be friendlier at 10%. And glass bottles of ice cold coke would be more appealing than cans. On the whole though a lovely, tasty meal and friendly and efficient service.

The restaurant is full of roses, creating a vibrant and romantic atmosphere that perfectly complements its maximalist design. The food, as expected from a Lebanese restaurant, was delightful. However, I was a bit disappointed by the limited menu. Despite the vast array of dishes that Lebanese cuisine has to offer, the restaurant’s selection was quite restricted. This left me wishing for more variety and options to choose from. Also, while the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, my mocktail took an eternity to arrive.

Me and my finance went for lunch on Sunday 4th of august and we had a superb time. The food was utterly amazing and the staff were so quick, friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this restaurant if you are in bath. Beautifully decorated and very cool on a hot day. Can’t wait to go back

I recently dined at Comptoir and I must say that my experience left much to be desired. The food quality was incredibly disappointing, and it was evident that corners were cut in the kitchen. Firstly, the chicken and bread served to me seemed to have been reheated. The chicken lacked freshness and flavor, and the bread was so tough and stale that it was practically inedible. The olive oil bread, in particular, was disappointingly hard, making it challenging to even take a bite. Moreover, the meat dish I ordered was a letdown as well. It was clear that the meat had been reheated rather than freshly grilled as advertised. The lack of juiciness and tenderness further confirmed that the dish fell short of expectations. Overall, my dining experience was marred by subpar food quality and disappointing flavors. I expected a fresh and delicious meal, but instead, I was served reheated dishes that failed to impress. I hope that the restaurant takes steps to improve its food preparation and quality control to ensure that future diners have a more satisfying culinary experience.

I had reheated food was disgusting I never had such an experience.

Clean, friendly restaurant, food what you expect from Comptoir!

£71 for two . Nobody in the restaurant . 2 drinks, 4 coffees and two small meals . Supposed to be in a tagine but served in a very very small bowl . Will not ever go in there again

Painfully slow service won’t come again

Woaw What a great place. The food was delicious and had portions that wont leave you hungry. I recommend trying their lemonades as well. Food came fast But was fresh. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and the design is incredibly lively and welcoming. I think the prices are also better than other places in Bath that tourists may go to.

Wonderful service and delicious food. Thank you so much. Would really recommend!

Staff are very nice, but seriously understaffed so service really slow. Food good but some ' Lebanese' dishes not authentic Lebanese ( I live in Lebanon) We used to particularly enjoy the Kibbeh and Siyadieh but sadly they're not on the menu anymore.

We ordered mixed grill, I do not recommend 4 pieces of chicken with kebab I don't recommend it You must make sure to pay, as sometimes the service amount increases
