Comptoir Libanais to open new site in Ealing

Comptoir Group has announced that it has secured a location for the opening of a new Comptoir Libanais restaurant in Ealing, West London. 

The 3,325 sq ft restaurant is positioned on the high street and is expected to open in early October 2023. 

The Ealing restaurant, which will be Comptoir’s first UK restaurant opening in four years, will provide an all day dining experience of Lebanese food, including sharing platters of hot and cold mezze, grills, salads and wraps. 

The drinks menu will feature a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails inspired from the region as well as Lebanese wines from Ksara and specialist beers. The site will offer both dine-in and takeaway options. 

Founder Tony Kitous said: “My dream is for Lebanese cuisine and culture to achieve the same popularity as Italian food, and this restaurant in Ealing will continue my passion for both the food and the culture, which I’m eager to share with our valued guests. 

“I’m genuinely thrilled to be building our vibrant brand and look forward to creating an inviting atmosphere at our new restaurant which will provide an authentic setting to savour Middle Eastern hospitality.” 

Nick Ayerst, CEO, added: “I am delighted to announce the opening of the first restaurant in four years. Ealing is a thriving hub and our new location will serve guests from across West London, as we continue to deliver our well-loved authentic Middle Eastern food and culture.” 

Andrew Rollings, centre director at Ealing Broadway, concluded: “It’s fantastic to have the team at Comptoir Libanais join our food and beverage offering here at Ealing Broadway and we can’t wait for diners to experience their authentic middle eastern cuisine for themselves. 

“Whether couples want to indulge in a romantic wine and dine experience, or families are looking for a tasty meal while spending a day out at the centre, local foodies will be spoilt for choice.”
