Comptoir Libanais Stansted Airport in Uttlesford

Great value for money and very good with allergies. Manager and staff excellent

Decent food, but almost hilariously terrible service - one man called Gabriel responded “I have nothing to do with the app” when I asked him if I could order an item with him due to it not appearing on the app. Probably best to grab an Itsu and not be condescended.

The food here is wonderful! Enjoyed a mezze plate before my flight today - it was generous and delicious. The service was very friendly too 🌟

Awesome place,staff are very friendly the food was great. This the best place is stansted airport

Really tasty breakfast, nice inside and friendly staff. Could almost forget you were in an airport

Honestly, I am rather skeptical about a good meal at the airport, but here a pleasant surprise. The breakfast plate was really worth ordering. Tasty, plenty and everything like in home cooking is a nice surprise for airport standards. We also ordered a kids breakfast, but considering the amount of food on the plate for the price I suggest choosing the maximum option. The interior of the restaurant is another strong point, it is simply fantastic in all these flower colors and of course the service - very friendly and helpful. Thank you.

The food was okay. I really recommend the brownie for dessert it was so good! The place was beautiful and it was pleasant to wait for our gate to show on the screen.

Food and portions are small and expensive. Did not taste very good either. Customer service is ok. Good vibes/atmosphere

Good service but the usual rip off at the airport. I always make the same mistake and think you can have some good food at a decent price and I am always wrong. I would not suggest

Amazing food and quick service. Staff very attentive and great menu

I had a delicious halloumni salat. It was a pleasant spot at the busy airport. thank you!

Amazing food, good and quick service. What else can you go with in the airport ?

Food was ok, a bit too expensive for the stuff you get but overall food was good. The staff was rude at the entrance to give us table. Funny thing is that they have photo of the queen with the fez :)

Excellent food, ambience and service.

Really great spot at Stansted to eat and chill away from the crowd. I ordered the chicken taouk on the wrap, the food was delicious but the portion was small. Nice chatty staff.

Really delicious food and very efficient service.

A real moment of relaxation in the hubbub of the airport to get some sustenance before a night flight. Decent portion but lacking in chicken, I was expecting something else but it was good. A real plus the decoration, a feeling of traveling. A real anthill, the waiters don't stop but are very friendly, at neighboring tables they were adorable with the children.

A very nice experience, a crazy atmosphere with this decor that attracts you from the hall. The waitress was friendly, kind, smiling, very polite and very attentive. The meal was delicious and healthy.

Oh my god this food was amazing! I ordered the vegetarian breakfast and my family ordered breakfast as well before our flight and it was absolutely delicious. Not to mention it came out super fast as well. the interior is stunning and super cozy - you no longer feel as though you're in an airport. The hummus especially was scrum. Highly recommend to everyone.

Incredibly fast turnaround and the food was amazing!!

It is our favorite place in departure lounge at Stansted airport. Very lovely atmosphere , always welcoming and friendly staff. Good quality freshly cooked meals , staff always are happy to help with dietary requirements. Good choice of drinks. Children menu available. My daughter is a picky eater but she loved chicken wrap. Highly recommend place.

The food was nicely presented. Tasty and decent size portions. No issues with the service. Lovely decor. Comfy seating. Only some tables, though, have enough space to put a highchair next to it. It is slightly on the pricey side but nothing too extravagant.

Tasteless food and very rude waiter. Please spend your hardworking money somewhere else.

This is a wonderful restaurant. The food is amazing. A welcome change from the rub of the mill stuff. Pleasant staff and I tend to make it my office for between flights. Starting with the full breakfast then coffee and hummous. Amazing. The decor is nice, there are loads of sockets and even the ceiling is decked with flowers. A little oasis in the middle of a busy airport.

Great waitresses ! Also, good healthy food and coffee.

Very friendly staff who were kind and welcoming. Food is served quickly which is perfect if you’re trying to grab a quick bite before you’re flight. The chicken wings were cooked perfectly. The meat was juicy, tender and fell right off the bone. Prices are reasonable for an airport location.

Served brilliantly by a lovely lady called Ilona. Food was as expected and service was very fast. Happy customer.

Had an amazing experience due to first av all the service, the staff. I’m sure all of the staff was great but the guy who took the orders on my side was sooo welcoming, made me as alone traveller so comfortable to sit here, wait out my flight time, he took care of all the guests around me so well, so we all got on a smile on our face to. So warming atmosphere!! The drinks, especially the lemonads was amazing! Drank rose and the pomegranate version. Sallad was amazing to, glad for the recommendation of him too! Would easily choose this airport for future trips just for this place!🤩

I had a really upsetting experience at Comptoir Libanais (Stansted branch) yesterday. I had left my baby for the first time and after a very busy day I sat down for a meal and began to assemble my breast pump. I was about to attach it when the manager (Florin) appeared over my shoulder and told me that “this was not the place for that!” He continued “that is why we have family rooms” [in the airport]. I was so taken aback but I managed to say something along the lines of I am allowed to do this in public, to which he responded that he personally didn’t want to see it-it was not the place and would put the other diners off their food! I felt so humiliated and angry. As a breastfeeding mom, I have never encountered this treatment before. I am incredibly disappointed. I left the restaurant and cried. Breastfeeding is a beautiful, natural gift that I am blessed to give to my children. I should not be made to feel like I am doing something indecent! It is my prerogative whether I would like to use the family room or not. That’s my choice, not Florin’s. What happened here is illegal. Do better!

The food quality 2/10.. it is very very bad I’m not exaggerating AT ALL !!! Got sick after having a meal there.. immediately felt sick in my stomach and had a horrible feeling during my flight and trip !!… worst experience ever

A nice breakfast at the airport. Ordered the scrambled eggs with feta cheese and I can say it was a good portion size for the price.

Waiting in departures for a flight, hungry, not wanting to go too mad but not wanting to have to eat on the flight. Avoided Trumpland eateries and Spoons because its arch brexiteer Martin’s, had a few choices left but decided on Comptoire Libonnaise. Really surprised, great fresh food, friendly quick service and very reasonably priced. If it was out on the high street, I would search it out again A+++

Overall, really a great place. At times we forgot that we were actually at the airport. Thank you for the super friendly service and the really authentic food 🫶🏽

The best food in the airport, certainly the freshest tasting. I pass through this terminal 20+ times a year. Only second time in here, but the food tastes great. I was hoping the new Mexican would be OK but it's just Old El Paso on a plate. Trust me, this is good and also reasonably priced.

Had breakfast there today before a flight. Excellent. Ilona was our server. She was fantastic. The friendliest and most cheerful person imaginable at 6am. A delight.

Food had no taste, it was very bland, coffee wasn’t hot enough, would not recommend.

A very beautiful restaurant of the famous chain inside the airport (after security). Prices are reasonable, the staff is very attentive, and the service is quick. Will definitely come back next time at Stansted.

I would have gladly given 5 stars, but the prices are a little high and the quantities a little small. For the rest the service and food are excellent!! Special mention to the Asian lady at the entrance (super kind) and the blonde girl, super professional, courteous, very thoughtful and attentive to customer requests. My favorite restaurant when leaving Stansted. Highly recommended

Best Airport Food Ever! They are situated right in the middle of the Stansted Airport Terminal! Thanks to the colorful, flowery, but comfortable decor it’s a peaceful oasis away from the crowd. The food is super tasty and fresh. The staff is a delight! Super nice. Lots of little banter going on between them without being intrusive. Reasonable priced. Drinks delicious - dessert too! Wish they had a spot in every airport! Will be back! Thanks for making wait bearable, guys!

Sooooo nice! So tasty, amazing.

Very good food and excellent service at Stansted Airport! This one is a keeper.

Staff was very friendly and confirmed food was all Halal however they do Alcohol as well. We tried Chicken Taouk and Lentil soup and both were fresh and delicious. Prices were reasonable for a airport restaurant and service was good too. Overall a great place to munch before your departure ✅

Had lunch here today and really liked it. Food was good, decent portion, salads were fresh and the lemonades of different varieties was a nice touch. The best thing about it wad the service though. Both the fellow who seated me and the lady who looked after me while I ate were super friendly and pleasant. Would go back, for sure.

Really lovely restaurant. Friendly and quick service. The dishes were also very tasty and the prices are absolutely fine for an airport restaurant.

One of the best shashuka I've had in a long while. Three different options. Egg fried rather than poached in the sauce but amazing taste, plenty of onions, nice spice chilli. Saw many people order the same, so seems to be a favourite! Service excellent, plenty of staff. Flight display board in restaurant area so super easy to track. Good coffee... Folder available shows all allergies

We were served by Malgorzata who was so lovely and attentive! Food was really really nice with lots of flavour. Thank you :)

Very bad experience, Floren the manager is not suit enough to do his job, Very bad. We just came back from London city and looking forward to eat in the restaurant in Stansted Airport before we going back to Ireland.. My friends already dine and they called us(we doing our shoppings) I have my 3 kids with me and We went inside straight to my friends table, they have already table with us and then, This manager ask me how many, then i said actually we are with them and he straight away told me, in my face that this is not waiting area(we know!) 😢🙁We are so hungry, but I felt bad and just go outside, felt discriminate. What a manager, you should treat people fairly, wherever they came from. Avoid‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

I have never eaten Lebanese cuisine, for it was the first time I was very happy. I chose the mixed grill (which I recommend), Very tasty, served with a typical salad and rice. Fast service and friendly staff. Nice environment, especially due to the long waits at the airport. It feels like being somewhere else, I don't know how relevant it is to Lebanon but I certainly spent a very pleasant hour

(Stansted airport, departures terminal, UK, Febr 2025). What a nice surprise! The best ( the most decent) airport food I’ve ever had ( the first one after which I didn’t have a severe heartburn). I understand this is a chain and they are over London, including Heathrow. We tried mixed meze and a mixed grill/meat and both were plenty for two people to share . The grilled meat was flavorful but a little bit on a dry side. However, again, in comparison with microwaved tasteless meats I would usually get at the airports, this one was quite good. Meze plate was excellent! Next time when I fly through Stansted, I would go for a meze plate and chicken wings . Service was outstanding and prompt. Seats were very comfortable. Adorable decor. Flight I for panel is right there, you can monitor your flight from your table. Overall, strongly recommend if you have to eat at the airport

A lush little eatery where you can almost forget that you’re in an airport. There is plenty of staff here who are very friendly and welcoming. The service was very good and very professional. The decor was classically colourful and vibrant, setting a warm relaxing vibe. There are plenty of tables and several cosy booths. The food caters well for all with a great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes as well as meat dishes, and the food is fresh and very tasty. Good selection of hot and cold drinks too. We shared a pot of tea, a baba Ghanouj, a falafel, and a halloumi and tomato with a yemini salsa. Then we shared an orange cake. Banging food, super tasty! Sorry…we forgot to take any pictures of our food, we were too busy stuffing our faces 😬🐽 A little expensive – nearly £10.00 for a dessert – but we would highly recommend this eatery to anyone looking for a more authentic and traditional cuisine when at London Stansted Airport. We’d certainly eat here over anywhere else in this airport! Visited 02-01-2025 ORTN - aka B&A

The best airport restaurant I have ever tried in my life! Everybody should taste the mezza plate, it’s more than amazing!

Quando utilizziamo Stansted Airport ci fermiamo volentieri in questo locale. Nulla di trascendentale (siamo in aeroporto, che vuoi pretendere), ma comunque tra qualche falafel, hommous, baba ganoush, tabbouleh e cheese samboussek ci si puo' sfamare senza appensantirsi e senza spendere un capitale, baklava' di dessert comprese (invero decisamente modeste)

Hey fellow food adventurers! Comptoir Libanais is your breakfast oasis at Stansted - a total flavor escape before your journey. Friendly staff, quick service, and those Lebanese flavors that'll transport you before you even board your plane. Pro traveler tip: Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to savor this breakfast! Bon voyage and bon appétit! 🇱🇧🍽️

The portion sizes were criminal. Ordered the full English equivalent for roughly £16 and portion size was so small. One sausage and one turkey rasher. The service was very good.

We stopped here for lunch whilst waiting for our flight. Restaurant was pretty empty and the service was quick. The food came out reasonably fast and was presented well and tasted good. My lamb kofte open wrap was delicious and I would recommend this restaurant, although it was pricey.

Comptoir Libanais at Stanstead Airport is a must-visit for any traveler passing through. With its delicious food, vibrant atmosphere, and exceptional service, it's a true gem in the airport. High recommended.

Lovely tasty food served with a warm friendly smile. Comfortable seats and a lovely colourful cheerful environment. Would really recommend this instead of a boring rip off WH Smith sandwich or Burger King.

Just fantastic. Pick any international airport and - irrelevant of the quality - the restaurants are inevitably rushed, impersonal, and make you feel like a pay check. Not so at Comptoir! A laughing casual vibe amongst the staff, service ataht makes you feel individual and extra effort for you is the norm. Great food to boot and a friendly also family banter amongst the staff - none of which intrudes, but adds to the great experience. After a terrible start with Stansted security I left Comptoir feel like I was already on holiday and it'll be my only destination next time at Stansted!

I don’t usually leave reviews but this place is incredible! The service is fantastic and the staff go above and beyond. I had the shakshuka with a beef sausage and feta, it came out super quickly was served piping just how I like it. It was the best shakshuka I’ve ever had! This was such a great start to my holiday and every time I travel from Stansted’s, I’ll be eating at Comptoir Libanis - absolutely brilliant!

I ordered the mixed grill platter, but the meat quality is very poor. You can literally taste that they only use the cheapest meat quality. Very disappointing with the meat. They’re only in business to maximise profit not to showcase the Lebanese cuisine.

Excellent service and food. What a pleasure to find tasty food at this airport. Full of flavour, freshly cooked, efficient and friendly service, very tolerant of dietary requirements.

Except for the friendly staff and the nice atmosphere, nothing here is lebanese. The food is terrible: hard chewy meat (even lamb), sour and watery lemonades, old rice and peas, and small portions. The price you pay is high as well, so very bad value for money. Just disappointing. Avoid.

Comptoir Libanais claims to be an authentic Lebanese restaurant, but sadly, it didn’t meet expectations. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma with Rice, and was disappointed to find that the shawarma was simply cut pieces of grilled chicken, lacking the flavorful experience I was hoping for. For a place that markets itself as offering authentic Lebanese cuisine, this was a letdown. I had high hopes, but unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

I paid 20 pound literally for nothing. The portion was really small. I am definitely not someone who eats a lot. But the portion was too small here, so l needed to eat somewhere else again. It’s really not nice what they give to people. What a shame!

We wanted to eat here attracted by the menu. The waiter treated us terribly before we even sat down. He said we had offended him because we had asked him for a table for two, making the two sign with our hands. He shouted at us even though we apologized, saying that we didn't know that in his country making the sign of two was an offense. Nobody defended us. Everyone is crazy!

Very friendly staff. Food was overpriced and small amount. I ordered the signature… literally a small sausage with some weird cut potatoes. The food was microwaved for sure. The music is like a 9/11 soundtrack. No more.

Very lovingly furnished restaurant that invites you to linger away from the hustle and bustle. The friendly, fast service, absolutely delicious Lebanese dishes and prices that I consider reasonable at an international airport are positive aspects. It's also practical that you can order from your seat using your smartphone and pay straight away. I would bridge the waiting time here again at any time. Greetings from Germany!

While the staff was friendly and the ambiance pleasant, the food quality was disappointingly low and overpriced. This was the worst Lebanese meal I've ever experienced.

I would return without a doubt.

The food was great but the service was even better. Very caring staff

Had an absolutely delicious breakfast here before my flight, I enjoyed the lovely scrambled eggs with feta and it was perfect. The service was great, all the servers are super friendly and always smiling, and the decor is so cute and colourful! Wonderful place to sit down, relax and enjoy a really good meal before you take off.

I was just in this restaurant, I ordered lamb cofta, it was not tasty at all! The meat was dry and hard to chew, the rice had a lot of sauces and spices that didn’t taste like it. In general, this dish could have been cooked juicy and tasty, but it wasn’t! Never set foot there again!

Comptoir Libanais Restaurant - London Stansted Airport Meal: spiced ground lamb with houmous, pickled cucumber, onion and tomato. The meal was beautifully seasoned, and the hummus on the side was a delightful touch. However, the lamb lacked moisture and didn’t taste as freshly prepared as expected. The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere, paired with great service, made the experience enjoyable overall.

A warm and atmospheric place where you can survive until your flight and not go crazy ;) Very nice staff :-)

Falafel was offered to try in front of the restaurant. Tasty, so pure. Fast and friendly service. A colorfully decorated room creates a cozy atmosphere. You forget that you are at the airport. We had English breakfast xl and falafel with tahini sauce. Everything was delicious and served quickly. However, the breakfast was not enough for xl. The cappuccino was very tasty

Lovely scrambled egg and feta on flatbread for Breakfast.

Warm and lovely decor, delicious food (I had the house salad and orange cake), fast ande friendly staff. Only civilised place to eat at the airport. I hope they'll open in many more other places!

I thought I was safe with the houmous - unfortunately the worst I’ve ever tried - I’ve had better houmous from Sainsbury’s! And they charge £9 and give 1 piece of flatbread with it (that also looks like it was microwaved from Sainsbury’s).

Brilliant Service from Rachael!!!

The best food you can find in the airport ! Everything was delicious!! Even the desserts!!

If you are waiting for your flight and want to relax in a beautiful environment with smiling friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, delicious food. I recommend visiting this restaurant. Ps: with prices corresponding to the quality and, I believe, cheaper than in other airport "restaurants" / fastfood/

Wow! We were told by the host that we would love it when we arrived and she was right! What a delicious menu. We ordered the mezze platter for two and some figs with halloumi as a starter then I had the Feta and Spinach borek. For drinks we had a mixture of cocktails, mint tea and Lebanese hot chocolate. Everything was tasty and a little bit different. And of course we got to wear Fez hats!

Peaceful atmosphere, delicious food and prompt service. Great service by Łukasz. I treatly recommend this restaurant!

Food was very tasty but tiny portion for £17

Best airport meal I’ve had. Delicious food, superb service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Rude staff, my girlfriend couldn’t eat her sandwich inside.

Was a perfect Oasis from a very, very Stanstead Airport! The quieter atmosphere with background music was just what we needed on our layover. Staff were prompt, friendly and efficient, food arrived quickly (within 5 minutes).

Great ! Nice setting and super pleasant staff! I recommend

Katherine was the person looking after me at Comptoir Libanais Stansted Airport. Her professionalism is absolutely outstanding and she is very caring and empathetic… I felt like home… thank you Katherine for the wonderful service and thanks for the great food.. always come there when I travel and it never ever disappoints

Excellent restaurant inside the airport with fair prices. The cuisine is Lebanese so tastes must be pleasing. Fast service, recommended

Really lovely flavours, quickly served. Staff were attentive and offered speedy service. Would definitely have again.

The food was prepared quickly and fresh. We were treated with respect and kindness. The food itself was amazing, way above normal airport standerds.

Not your average airport food. The mixed grill was excellent and the staff were really friendly and efficient

If you can’t cook a burger properly you really should shut up shop and go home. Over cooked bland burger. Poor tiny portions. High prices. Nobody asked ask if the food was okay. Nobody said please or thank you. Manners cost nothing! All round failures. But hey. It’s a captive audience at the airport! You have been warned. AVOID!

Very nice. A more calm atmosphere than the rest of the airport, unique style and you got the food fast. Have good vegan/fasting options and the staff was nice and asked if you have food allergies!

I don't recommend this place at all.

With an early morning flight and a full lounge we were having no luck finding a seat so went into the restaurant for teas and coffees. The staff were very smiley and happy, the restaurant not too busy and service was prompt. Really recommend even just for a cup of tea.

A great space to sit and have a quiet meal away from the airport crowds, it is beautiful inside and decor really good. We had a couple of breakfasts, the avocado was really very good, the cooked breakfast underwhelming & very small. The coffee machine had broken which was unfortunate & our waiter appeared tired and very disengaged! atmosphere great for a quiet spot, service quick but unwelcoming, food a bit hit and miss.

Outstanding restaurant at the airport, I’d take a flight just to eat here again. Lovely tasty food, calm relaxed atmosphere and great service.

Very cosy and well decorated restaurant, right before you turn into the various gates for boarding. Our first try at Lebanese food and thought it was pretty good! The staff were super friendly and made lots of tables smile, recommended good food and desserts options and we enjoyed our short stint there 👍🏻 Food was good too, the stew was of the right balance for us with a decent portion of ingredients in them, and the toufaha was good 🧃 Definitely will return to try more Lebanese food in future!
