Comptoir Libanais is one of the best places to eat in SouthGate, serving up bold and beautiful flavours from the Middle East. Often cited as one of the world's healthiest cuisines and with plenty of vegetarian options, Lebanese dishes typically use an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as herbs, lemon juice and spices rather than heavy sauces. The Comptoir Libanais menu stays true to this tradition, with a mix of mezze, salads, dips, soup and warm wraps as well as a selection of pastries and freshly prepared breads.
