Step off the bustling streets of Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet and into the vibrant world of Comptoir Libanais, where bold Middle Eastern heritage and cookery techniques meet a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for a mid-shopping pick-me-up or a leisurely lunch, this lively eatery serves up a menu packed with fresh, authentic dishes that are ideal for sharing.
Start your meal with nibbles to whet your appetite like marinated mixed olives, crunchy roasted almonds with rosemary, or a selection of tangy Lebanese pickles. For a more immersive beginning, the mezze platter is a must-try, featuring hommos, baba ghanuj, quinoa tabbouleh, falafel, cheese samboussek, and warm flatbread. Prefer to pick and mix? Dive into individual mezze dishes like the fragrant whipped feta with Shatta-spiced salsa or Tony's Hommos, topped with crispy cauliflower and a kick of Yemen salsa.
When it comes to mains, the options are as hearty as they are delicious. The tagines steal the show, slow-cooked and bursting with flavour. Choose from tender chicken and green olives, rich aubergine and chickpeas, or spiced lamb kofta with butter beans. Grill enthusiasts will love the mixed grill platter featuring lamb kofta, chicken wings, and chicken taouk, served alongside vermicelli rice and a fresh salad. For something lighter, opt for the falafel rice bowl or the spinach and feta börek, a golden filo pastry paired with fattoush salad.
Save room for dessert because the offerings are irresistible. The baklava selection is a sweet, nutty delight, while the mango and vanilla cheesecake brings a refreshing tropical twist. For chocolate lovers, the tahina mousse with mixed berry compote and sesame seeds is a velvety indulgence. If you're feeling adventurous, try the orange blossom mouhalabia which is a Lebanese take on panna cotta topped with figs and toasted sesame seeds.
