Comptoir Libanais London Bridge in Southwark - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great place to have a birthday brunch. Really enjoyed the food.

Great cocktails, good food and fab service really impressed with bottomless brunch

Very busy but great service; a bit difficult to hear my friends due to how loud and busy it was

Good ambience, great food and drink options, super friendly staff. The only negative for me was that the restaurant comfort room was not clean and it didn’t have a hook to hang a handbag or coat on the back of the door.

Great service. Super handy location. Hamid was awesome - very attentive, friendly and funny. Enjoyed happy hour and dinner! Thank you!

The decor is nice and the service was reasonable - it is a chain restaurant so nothing spectacular. However, the food was poor - cold meat, hard pitta bread and small portions. There is a lot of choice in this area and you can do much better. I wouldn’t return or recommend this restaurant.

Service was disaster food is rubbish and cold I dont think the chef knows what is Lebanese food. not even a single person is Lebanese in this restuarant. Wine was ok Beirut beer has no taste.

We were waiting for ten minutes. The waiters saw us and ignored us because we were only two people. This isn’t the first time that this happened. As we were walking out complaining of the terrible service, an Afro-Caribbean waiter who was serving outside was shouting at us and following us. This really scared us. This was on Monday around lunchtime. Unfortunately, will never come here again due to poor service. I’ve tried their food before and it’s acceptable however their service really needs to improve.

I popped into the Tooley Street Branch yesterday, as I wanted to order some food to be collected for an office party this evening.. The Manager insisted on delivering our order to our office and was very helpful with choosing our menu to cater for 18 people. The delivery came on time this evening and was very seamless. They brought it in crates and delivered the wonderfully presented food. They even laid it all out on the table for us. I cannot recommend this place enough, the food was amazing and loved by all and the service was second to none, which is quite a rarity these days. Many thanks again to the team at London Bridge and we look forward to dining with you again very soon.

Have walked past here many times but never had the occasion to stop. Was greeted by a friendly lady from Croatia with a charming accent. Food was very good, mains of halloumi and lamb kofta washed down with a Lebanese dry white. Would return next time in this area.

We had pre-booked this restaurant having had previous recommendations. Our teens are quite adventurous eaters in general and do like tapas/mezze style but hadn’t specifically tried N African food before. We were seated and orders taken quickly. We had a platter starter alongside some chicken wings and batata harra - all good. We had a range of mains including grilled meat and fish and all enjoyed our meals. The only slight negative was an over-confident young male waiter who didn’t write down our order and forgot one thing - this was quickly remedied when we asked another member of staff. We would definitely come to Comptoir Libanais again - a good and interesting range of food, a casual dining atmosphere and suited our needs well.

Our order was taken promptly enough, but the drinks never arrived. First one meal, then another finally arrived, but still no drinks. The waiter seemed perplexed but found them…waiting somewhere, I guess, because they arrived quickly once he went to look. I kinda wished he hadn’t found them. My Aperol spritz tasted like a very expensive Sprite with a healthy dash of bitters—if there was any alcohol at all in there, I couldn’t tell. Having enjoyed good Aperol spritzes in many restaurants and countries as well as my own home, I’m mystified as to how it’s possible to mess one up except with really inferior ingredients. But that was better than the chicken tagine, which was rubbery chicken apparently microwaved with some kind of cheap cooking sauce. There was none of the complex spice profile and tenderness one usually associates with tagines. We never saw any waitstaff again once the food and drinks had been plonked down. No one cared whether we needed anything, were enjoying our food, would like some water or dessert. I had to track someone down to get the bill. What was supposed to be an enjoyable last meal in London was pretty joyless. Definitely off our list for our next visit.

Restaurant was busy but Service was poor, seemed understaffed and rushing about , orders left on bar to be served to table for ages. Food is overpriced for what it is . Tagine wasn’t served or cooked in one, very basic for £16! Looked like something you’d make yourself at home for quick meal . Very disappointing for the price . Wouldn’t go back because of this, much better value for money restaurants around , would give it a miss . Sorry .

I was really looking forward to this meal, having been to the one in Leeds, however it was disappointing from beginning to end. Firstly, the staff had no record of our booking, despite us showing them our confirmation email. Fortunately, after a lengthy discussion between themselves, they managed to seat us - due to a ‘no show’ otherwise i don’t know what would have happened. After being seated, we were sat waiting for 15 mins with no one coming to take our drinks order, so i had to call them over. We then waited an hour for our food to come, all of which came out in dribs and drabs and not together. My husband’s food was cold, they forgot my eldest son’s bread and then totally forgot my youngest son’s meal, which we had to wait a further 10 minutes for. The staff were apologetic, but unfortunately this wasn’t good enough.

Booked in to get an early (pre-show) dinner. Reservation was for 6:15 on a Saturday. Arrived at 6:10 but was made to wait outside (not great weather but not excessively wet) for about 10 minutes and a further 5 minutes inside before any staff members spoke with us. When we were taken to our table, the staff member walking with us stopped twice to take instructions from other diners at their tables. We did notice that virtually all of the wait staff had lanyards with "visitor" written on them, so its quite likely that we came on a night where most regular/experienced staff had called out, and thus they were trying to do the best they could with new floor staff - who knows. The staff themselves were cordial, but not particularly friendly or welcoming (which couldn't be expected given how backed up they were.) Food was fairly good (we had the veggie mezze platter), and its a good price for such a central location. Tables were a bit small and crowded though, making sharing a platter rather difficult.

I had previously used this chain when they had their outlet at Gatwick Airport, but unfortunately, it was a victim of Covid-19. We were keen to be able to re-visit one of their restaurants, to see if it was all as we remembered. The branch at London Bridge is right outside of the station and is quite large. Their breakfast trade is limited, I suspect. This does not mean that they had nothing to offer, far from it! The staff were attentive and took our drinks order immediately, whilst leaving us to peruse the menu. We ordered three choices from their breakfast menu and they all turned up together, shortly after. Some very tasty food and well cooked, was our unanimous opinion, and we very much enjoyed the quality and the presentation of the food. The only thing I would comment upon is that we asked for some tap water, which was served tepid, which was not terribly palatable. Otherwise, all good, and we shall be vising here, or another of their restaurants again, sometime in the future.

We went on Saturday, early evening. Didn't have a booking but there was only two of us. We were given probably the worst table, was where all the waiters & diners walked past. Nearest kitchen where dirty plates were washed, plates emptied. Door kept open by bin so we had full view, not great when eating. Food was average, nothing amazing. Waiters walked past with tray of glasses & knocked my head. He did apologise but shouldn't have happened.

Buon libanese, staff gentile, accessibile a sedia a rotelle. Tavoli un po’ piccoli. Un po’ troppo odore di cibo nel locale, tanto da risultare subito un po’ pesante.

We just finished at the Shard and needed a quick choice of restaurant around London Bridge that wouldn't take us too long to eat at. We found this and it was brilliant. Really tasty, fresh food and great service. I loooved the baba ghanoush. It tasted sooo good but the whole mezze dish was very good and beautifully presented. Thanks for a lovely meal. Highly recommended!

I am not joking, although it's ok to laugh: I have very poor mental health and a low desire to exist most days - the food here genuinely made me feel alive and a desire to remain alive for the first time in a while. It was so so tasty and fresh. The waitress was really kind and helpful. I do hope the owner/manager appreciates the work of their staff and the reality that without them there would be no business. I say this simply because I've worked in hospitality most of my life and am familiar with how staff are often mistreated/taken advantage of - usually financially. Please remember - whoever you are - you own nothing and have no business without them. Pay them fairly their wages and tips, feed them, pay them respect and don't forget that the greatest business investment is in your staff. Thanks to the staff for a meal that reminded me how life can be beautiful and tasty ♡

Visited with girlfriends, food was plentiful and quickly served, decor was super cute. Restaurant was very busy so would advise booking if wanting to eat on a Saturday.

Staff, including the charming Kaushal, were absolutely brilliant...explaining ingredients and being generally very helpful....even telling us how to get to Borough market. The food was exceptional and very good value, highly recommend this colourful restaurant.

I had a large complicated (a guest is celiac) takeaway order on a busy Saturday before Christmas. Dom and his team were exceptional in making sure everything was right, packaged correctly and ready on time. And, as always, the food was delicious. Thank you!

Absolutely delicious baba ghanuj and the friendliest waitress ever, will be going back! Great on recommendations and knowledgeable about the food contents

We ordered full mixed platter and elderflower Spritz drink on the side. BBQ was nice but rice were not even properly cooked. And Elderflower Spritz was just sprite with lemon nd a cucumber slice for £5.95. Had to ask to bring the food as they forgot 35 mins kater food cane out. Service was absolutely not good as all the waiters were busy in welcoming new guests visiting restaurant but didn’t bother to ask existing guests if they need anything.Over priced & not worth of the hype.

Super Ambiente mit sehr gutem,typisch libanesischem Essen.Gute Auswahl an verschiedenen Gerichten, sowohl mit Fleisch oder Fisch , wie auch Vegetarisch.Es gibt auch kleinere Gerichte. Der Service war sehr nett und hat offenen Fragen zum Essen kompetent beantwortet. Sehr zu empfehlen, da komme ich auf jeden fall wieder.

Was trying to think of somewhere new that we had not been too. I had been to the one in Reading a while back, but daughter had not been. Loved the decor. Good menu, friendly and fast service. Kid's menu at £6.75 was good value and excellent choice, grandaughter certainly enjoyed it. We had Halloumi & figs, Tabbouleh, Mama Zohra Salad and Lamb Kofta, all excellent and fairly good size. Washed down with a couple of drinks. £65, not bad for the quantity and quality.

Really good service, especially from Kuda whose recommendations for food and drinks were great. Quite busy for a Tuesday night but service was quick.

Great service. The food was excellent, always have a great time at London Grind

Delicious flavourful food, service was prompt despite the restaurant being really busy. I'll come again

Try to go earlier or later, we went for 1pm and our waitress did her best but she was very busy and barely had time to top us up. Poached eggs were too well done but they took care of it quickly. Overall i would recommend it, but there are better places for brunch in the area.

Usually love this place - maybe it was too busy but the service was poor, we waited a long time for our table and quality of the food suffered!

Very cramped and noisy. Portions were small and service very slow

Cold restaurant with door opening alot. Service was only when called over. Food was average at best. Shame, the grind in Greenwich is one of my fave restaurants!

Great cocktails-recommend the coconut daiquiri! The food was tasty but service was a tad slow

Lovely food, atmosphere and we were not rushed off of our table which was nice. My only negative was we were sat right by the door and the door is in use a lot due to this place being popular so the freezing breeze every time someone opened the door was annoying. Maybe put up a big thick curtain over the door so the cold isn't so bad for anyone sat by the door. All else was perfect and will definitely recommend.

Really great service, great food and knowledgable staff. Only thing I’d say is that the drinks menu stated next to each drink if they were vegan friendly but the food options didn’t. But our waiter was knowledgable and able to tell us which dishes were vegan friendly. The cocktails were amazing. Food was delicious. And is thoroughly recommend the bottomless Prosecco 👍🏻

Booked for breakfast and although the staff were lovely I thought that the overall experience was pretty poor. I ordered baked eggs and they were thoroughly cooked through rather than runny - which is how they are normally prepared - with a really hard topping. I had about two pieces of chirizo in the sauce and overall it was a pretty poor dish. My chai latte was rather grainy in consistency. I ordered two and my second was plunked down rather unceremoniously with cinnamon heaped on a pile on top and all over the saucer. My colleague who I was breakfasting with asked for an orange juice - twice - it never appeared. We also were interrupted several times by the staff with drinks orders that we didn't make.

First, our booking didn't show up on their system so we were sat somewhere completely different. The way the guy told us that it hadn't shown up was as if it was my fault and not the systems. No apology. Then, we ordered our drinks. Two almond Chai Lattes. Laughable how small they were and the taste was... Lacking. Almost tasted like almond milk with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Not much else. We then got given two glasses of tap water. Not so lovely since one of them had purple lipstick still stuck on the side. We pushed it away and when the waiter came over to ask if it was ours we said it was still stained. He took it, said thanks and never arrived with a new glass. We were also told we would have to move at some point if we wanted to stay longer than 50 minutes, as there was a party of 20 arriving. That was fine, but if my booking had shown up on their system we would have been at a normal table in the first place and wouldn't have had to move. We left soon after. The whole experience was just negative. The ambience was okay. Really liked the mood lighting. But everything else was uncomfortable and we felt like a burden.

The food and drinks were great and not ridiculously pricey considering the location. Service was a bit hit and miss as the staff were trying hard to keep up with too many tables.

The service was really good despite it being quite busy on the day. The burger and chips were so amazing I had to order another dish - the pancakes too were delicious! Would definitely recommend the brunch menu and the bottomless prosecco! Only thing I’d say needs changing are the dish portions.

Visited for the bottomless brunch which was great value for money. It was a little breezy being sat by the door. The food has good and not badly priced for brunch in London. They were unable to take our food order for a while as the kitchen was busy but this wasn't too much of a problem as we were having a leisurely brunch. Our first waitress was quite slow but our next waitress was much quicker and refilled our glasses regularly.

Brilliant atmosphere, food and service. The bottomless prosecco was a highlight and we were never waiting for a top up. The only downside was how cramped and busy it was... especially seeing as we were sat next to the door which was freezing as it kept opening and closing. However, an overall very enjoyable brunch!

Great menu and excellent service. Staff were so helpful and friendly and the food was excellent. Particularly recommend the turmeric latte.

Lovely vibe, top service, decent portions for great value! Keen to check out the other Grind branches as well!

Went for a working lunch and the service was very slow - took 2 hours to receive our lunch and get the bill

Amazing vibe and buzzing place! With shard at the backdrop and amazing ambience, really enjoyed my time. Tapas style food, love the hummous with bread, carrots with yogurt dressing. Lovely non alcohol cocktails!!! Service was slow but guess it was a Friday night... so... understand. Overall real good hangout place with friends

Good, healthy food in a friendly, casual atmosphere. 12.5% tip is added to your bill although our server said the staff don’t see this money!

Amazing ambiance, food and servies! The food was really good, and our favourite part was the botomless prosecco ;) 10/10, would absolutely recommend!

The food was great as always but the service just wasn’t great. When we enquired about our table at the time of our booking we were told that it wasn’t ready and we had to wait since not everyone was present either. After about 15min we finally got sat down at a table for 6 despite the fact I had called to update the booking to 7. So we had to squish onto a bench and barely had space to eat. I also asked for water several times and only received it towards the end of the meal. Ok too of that we got served a side we had not ordered and informed the waiter of this to have it taken away only to find we were charged for it at the end. It took ages to get someone attention to have this amended, and once this was done the service charge was also taken off which was nice. We then had to wait a further 20min to pay the bill. I love the food here but it always seems understaffed and disorganised so although the food is worth it it’s dissapointing to be always let down by service.

The cocktails were delicious and came very quickly once ordered. We would sometimes have to look around to catch someone's eye so we could order again though.

I had a client breakfast at this venue this morning- this was my first time at London Grind and i booked it as it seemed to have good ratings. Unfortunately it was bad-bad-bad. Bad service - waited 40 minutes for a cup of coffee which I ordered with my meal and chased twice before the manager finally brought it over. Bad food- my sweet potato harissa cakes turned up raw. Crunchy raw sweet potato and uncooked flour was not a pleasant experience let me tell you. Bad atmosphere - the place was busy and noisy, which is absolutely fine but you could just tell that at least this morning something went wrong. There was no communication between the staff, everyone was rushing around, I had to ask three different people to pay my bill etc. I just did not feel good in your restaurant today and even though the manager (senior staff member) came to apologize quickly for the coffee and the raw harissa cakes which were taken off the bill, it was not enough to ever bring me back....

The staff were the most disorganised bunch I’ve ever experienced in a London restaurant. As soon as we sat down they kept asking if we were ready to order (3 separate waiters in as many minutes!). Then when we were ready to order pudding we couldn’t get anybody’s attention - not because they were busy but because one was eating chips and the other two were staring at screens - for ages. The main courses were good but the pudding a nice idea gone wrong. In summary, this place is totally meh.

Really convenient location for London Bridge. Food was yummy. Nice vibe and decor. Bit expensive though and a bit noisy if you just want to have a chat with friends

brilliant espresso bar! top coffee and great service

Food is always delicious here. Cocktails are wonderful too. Can get noisy in the evenings - music is too loud in my opinion.

Just a few easily remedied issues. Mostly, listen more carefully to the order details. The toast should be actually toasted, not warm bread Fried eggs should have runny yolk when specifically requested, not hard If asked to bring the tea with the meal, then please do so, not well before so that it goes cold. On the plus side, nice atmosphere and lovely pancakes. Welcoming and friendly staff also.

Nice restaurant close to London Bridge. Service was good and atmosphere pleasant. Had a mediocre burger that arrived cold while partner ordered the steak which she felt was pretty chewy and rubbery. Not bad for the price and location but not as nice as expected

The service was great but as it's a bar it is very noisy! Better for groups.

Bar was slow at bringing over food. Staff were hit and miss. One staff complained he had been working 12 hour shifts and it wasn’t his fault he was tired and slow at taking ur order. When the Food and drinks came they were good. Great location and style shame about the gaps in service and delay on the cocktails.

Food was really good and friendly service. Although the place is too cramped, too many tables pushed in a small space and the music is too loud. So a conversation is difficult, and giving your order to the staff is quite a challenge. The starters and steak was really nice. Cocktails a bit small. And surprisingly, the coffee was quite dissapointing! And they are meant to be a coffee place!

We made an early reservation for 4pm but even then, the music was so loud that we couldn’t hear each other across the table. Not good.

Bland and underseasoned tiny bowl of pasta with hardly any prawns. Boyfriend reported the same for his fired chicken burger- no seasoning

Rather packed at 5:30 pm, with Xmas parties about to start about 6:00 pm on other tables and had not arrived. We ordered food from the menu not a set meal. The meat was tough and was not helped with blunt knives. Food and plates were hot which was welcoming. Out of Peroni, limited drinks, except for cocktails, which most were drinking. Staff were friendly and were very busy.

Shockingly bad and bored waitress. Slow, unengaged, and unpleasant service.

The food was below average (avoid the steak) and service was erratic. The two cocktails I had were watery and not that great. Go for the Instagram, don’t stay for food.

The food and actual waiting staff were great. But their maitre d/ front of house was possibly the rudest person we’ve ever met. We turned up 10 minutes early and he was very rude about it!

Great location. The waiter was adorable, we loved the service and the food.

Brunch was great! Waiters are a laugh and super friendly. Atmosphere is great - love coming here

Would definitely recommend London Grind to friends. We were a bit late (Classic Irish people and the tube) and the staff were very understanding and had our table ready for us. Food was lovely. Great insta spot haha

Great location with good value, healthy food and excellent coffee. There were all sorts of people in - business people, tourists and local workers. Mostly quite a young crowd.

The maitre D made the experience! Overall great staff and a great place to start the day!

Great place for brunch! Love it here. Would highly recommend.

A big fan of this place, although only been during week and not over a weekend. It’s very different on a Saturday and not for the best. It was dirty - floors and tables were filthy as were glasses. The service was lacklustre- From arrival when the team juts left us as they were busy chatting, all throughout the meal, so many young staff laughing and joking and not really serving. They were all lovely and polite but just far too relaxed. The food was great, really the best thing about the evening.

We had a great time there, everything was cooked to perfection, and the staff was also really nice and friendly.

Have been to grind a few times before and was always impressed, but this time was very bad. Booked in for a meeting over coffee and the service was terrible. Had to ask for water three times, it was 15 minutes before anyone came to take out order. And when the water finally did arrive, ten minutes before we were leaving, one of the glasses had lipstick stain on it. Really disappointed- don’t think I will be returning to any of the grinds.

Food was super tasty but some dishes were already cold when they arrived and the service was only ok. They kept forgetting to bring us our drinks and cutlery. However I have been a few times and the food is always very nice.

Food was good. The staff on the door were not friendly or welcoming

Buzzy place, though a little loud. Quite nice food, friendly staff.

Went for a weekday breakfast and service was really slow, which isn't what you expect for this time of day. Shame as food and coffee was good when it eventually came.

As a vegan I am always looking for somewhere that has choice for me but doesn’t limit my meat eating friends. Grind went above and beyond by adapting cocktails so I could still enjoy them. We went for a few starters to share and they were delicious! The cauliflower main was huge and delicious but it would have been good to have something other on the plate too. I would highly recommend this place for everyone except the hard of hearing due to noise levels.

This does a great "aussie" breakfast - lovely fresh fruit juices, smahed avo / poached egg / bacon and good coffee too. V reliable choice to meet friends at that time.

Be aware that this bar / restaurant adds service to drinks ordered AT THE BAR! So I was charged £6.75 for a £6 glass of wine. I should have commented at the time - but I'd already waited ages, and by the time I'd realised the busy barman had moved on. My friend paid nearly £6 for a small lager shandy. That aside - it's a busy buzzy cocktail bar, the food was OK and the table service was fine.

Lush bar in London Bridge - staff are EXCELLENT we had a few pricing issues with our bill and they sorted it right out and some. The espresso martini is the best in London.

Service was a little slow . Food was very good though.

Always a great spot for a breakfast meeting or brunch, with service always attentive and good atmosphere.

Run out of burgers and ran out of some of the beers we wanted. Food was horrible and mulled wine was luke warm. I wouldn’t go there again!

Great atmosphere for breakfast. Majority of juices unavailable, however. Service friendly, but especially effective.

Great food at lunchtime, loved the decoration and the vide, great location close to Borough Market and London Bridge, booking required, the place is really busy. On a side note, the flat iron steak was one of the best I had in London over the last 15 years!

All good part from lack of coordination of staff. They’re all very helpfull but we were asked the same questions again and again by 4 people throughout... as nice as it is, we didn’t go there for the chat with the waiters...

Excellent starters; decent mains; service was a teeny bit slow towards the end (but it was peak time on a Friday) but the staff were all very friendly throughout. Good selection of drinks. Would go back.

Booked this up for a lunch on a girls weekend away - was a really good atmosphere great staff and good food. Drinks were good, service prompt and food tasty!

Great service, great food, great atmosphere. Perfect way to spend my birthday!

Excellent night here. Food was delicious and the drinks perfect. Staff were friendly and amazing.

Met a client for breakfast. Had delicious food, great coffee and the service was really good too. Friendly and efficient but not intrusive at all. It was really busy too so they could easily have slipped up. Wish I was based near by so could go more often.

Great espresso based cocktails, reasonable prices and friendly service

Really wonderful food but the service was incredibly slow- they acknowledged it but offered no complimentary dessert or anything The guacamole was delish as was the large cauliflower with tumeric sauce We had to ask for more but that came fast Def would go again when on this side of the pond

Loved this place! Cool decor, good vibe, food was lovely & staff were great! Will be going back!!

Great venue, fantastic service, food and drinks.

Went there for a first date, which was a nice enough place to do so, the staff were very nice, the prices reasonable, location great as were the cocktails. Only downside was that it got loud with the music which made a decent conversation a little difficult, other than that, great place, will definitely go again
