While revenue at the Lebanese and Middle Eastern inspired restaurant group fell to £33m in the 52-weeks to 28 December 2025, down from £34.6m, adjusted EBITDA, before highlighted items, increased from £800,000 in FY24 to £1.1m.
Net losses were £1.4m after tax, down from a loss of £1.9m the previous year.
The group, which closed its Mediterranean restaurant Kenza in London and a Comptoir in Bluewater during the period, says it has taken a conscious strategic decision at the half year point to focus on increasing covers through ‘a genuine value for money offering, rather than using incremental pricing’.
It also says that it has focused on cutting costs and on driving efficiencies and undertook a comprehensive menu review that resulted it increased portion sizes and better presentation of dishes.
Comptoir Group’s chief executive Chaker Hanna says the group’s focus has been on reinforcing the brand’s market position and trying to entice back existing customers and attract new ones.
“The operational improvements made throughout the year, combined with a stronger menu, and improved value offering gives us confidence in the path ahead,” he says.
“We remain focused on driving continued improvement and expansion across the business for 2026 and beyond.”
Comptoir Group operates 22 Comptoir Libanais restaurants, three sites under is Shawa brand, and Lebanese restaurant Yalla Yalla.
