Comptoir Libanais Exeter

Walk into Comptoir Libanais on Queen Street and you're transported straight to Beirut—all warm lighting, bustling energy and the smell of chargrilled meat and za'atar hitting you immediately. You'll find yourself naturally ordering more than you planned because everything's designed for sharing: hummus loaded with pomegranate, crispy kibbeh, grilled halloumi that actually tastes of something. The mezze format means you can graze properly, which is exactly what this place wants you to do. It's the kind of restaurant where you leave fuller and happier than you expected, having tried five different things and already planning your next visit.
