Comptoir Libanais confirms opening date
The Lebanese food brand announced it will open the doors on The Avenue in Spinningfields on Thursday 12th November.
Comptoir will host a soft launch from Thursday 12th to Thursday 19th November in which guests will receive 25% off food when they book by email, as well as being amongst the first to try its new menu, which includes a number of dishes exclusive to Manchester.
Founder Tony Kitous said; “We’re extremely excited about opening in Manchester and showcasing the food, culture and hospitality of Lebanon. I seriously can’t wait.”
Co-owner Chaker Hanna said: “We’ve been bowled over by the support we have had in Manchester pre-launch. We searched hard for the perfect spot outside of London and believe we have found that in Spinningfields. We can’t wait to open the doors on the 12th.”
Comptoir Libanais will offer a variety of healthy, fresh and colourful Lebanese dishes at affordable prices, such as lamb kofta and shish taouk both served with vermicelli rice and authentic sauces. Other dishes include freshly prepared salads with grilled spiced chicken or wholesome slow-cooked tagines served with couscous. Comptoir will be introducing two new mana’esh to the menu (Lebanese flatbread) with minced lamb and pomegranate or za’atar and olive, made to order.
There are also two new mezze feast menus offering a selection of hot and cold mezze.
The new restaurant comes with the mezze bar, serving unique cocktails using authentic and unusual ingredients, a selection of draft and bottled beers including Casablanca and TicketyBrew as well a range of Lebanese wines.
Comptoir is open all day every day for breakfast, lunch, dinner and all that’s in between. The Manchester restaurant will also be the first location to offer Lebanese spiced hot chocolate, and authentic Lebanese coffee - perfect with baklawa for an afternoon treat.
A private dining room will be available to for a more intimate dining experience.
All dishes on the menu are available to eat in or takeaway.
The restaurant is also fully geared up for Christmas parties, offering two set menus: both full Lebanese spreads including a selection of mezze dishes to start and a main, with the extra course menu including a dessert of baklawa and rose mint tea.
