Lebanese restaurant group Comptoir marked a return to profitability in 2021 but warned inflation and withdrawal of government support would hit profits in the coming months.

Comptoir, which runs 9 restaurants in London including sites in Chelsea, London Bridge and Liverpool Street, posted revenue of £21 million in 2021, while profits after tax reached £1.6 million despite months of closures during the year because of lockdown restrictions.
