For a heartier meal, the 'Lamb Tagine' is a standout, slow-cooked to perfection with prunes, almonds, and a hint of cinnamon, offering a perfect balance of sweet and savory.
Moreover, Comptoir Libanais doesn’t only cater to meat lovers.

The beverage menu complements the dining experience with options ranging from traditional mint tea to Lebanese wines, carefully selected to pair with the dishes.
The restaurant also offers a variety of sweet treats. The 'Rose Mouhalabia', a traditional milk pudding, is delicately flavored with rose syrup and topped with pistachios, providing a refreshing end to a rich meal.
