Falafel wraps instead of another baguette at Terminal 1
In Terminal 1, Comptoir Libanais sits landside on the departures level and gives you Middle Eastern food instead of yet another ham-and-cheese on baguette. It’s a mid-range option at about $$, so think roughly €12–€18 for a wrap, salad, or mezze plate. Rating hovers around 3/5 online, which matches the “decent but not a destination” vibe. If you know the brand from London, reviewers say the flavors here are close, just with Côte d’Azur airport pricing stacked on top.
Menu hits the basics: hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, falafel wraps, chicken skewers, and mezze platters you can share between 2 people. A hummus and mezze plate typically runs in the mid-teens in euros, while a simple falafel wrap lands just under that. Portions read more “airport lunch” than big dinner, so budget for a starter if you’re properly hungry. Drinks lean soft: mint tea, juices, and bottled options, with a few glasses of wine around the €6–€8 mark.
Service is counter-style with table delivery, and that’s where the main complaints land. When several flights out of Terminal 1 bunch up, orders can take 20–30 minutes to appear, and a few reviews mention wrong dishes turning up. Pricing also stings a bit: paying restaurant money for basic salads and wraps annoys some people, especially when a falafel wrap pushes past €10. If your connection time is under 50 minutes, this is not the stop to gamble on.
Watch out for peak times around the 11:00–14:00 and 17:00–19:00 banks, when Terminal 1 departures get busy and the line at Comptoir Libanais can snake 8–10 people deep. If you see that, grab a ready-made mezze box instead of a hot dish. Tip: check your gate first, then order something easy to eat one-handed, like a falafel wrap, so you can walk to boarding and still finish your lunch.
