Le Comptoir Libanais
About
Located in the historic city of Cherbourg‑Octeville, Le Comptoir Libanais offers a vibrant Lebanese dining experience that marries traditional flavors with a modern, health‑conscious touch. The restaurant, founded by Juliana Jurdi, a native of Bucharest who spent years cooking in Lebanon, proudly sources local produce from the Cotentin region while keeping true to classic Mediterranean techniques. Guests can enjoy a wide range of mezzes, main dishes, salads and sandwiches, many of which are specially prepared for vegetarians, vegans and those with gluten or lactose intolerance. The welcoming, family‑friendly atmosphere, along with a friendly staff that speaks both French and Arabic, makes the venue a favorite for locals and travelers alike. Whether you’re tasting the freshly baked pita, savoring a platter of hummus and tabbouleh, or ordering a sweet kefta sandwich, each bite delivers a balanced mix of herbs and spices that conjure the warmth of Beirut in every corner.
