A Fun New Restaurant in Houston’s IAH Airport Has Me Coming Back Again!

I am not usually excited about airport restaurants, but there is a new restaurant in the Houston airport that definitely has been getting my business.  Le Grand Comptoir Wine and Food Bar is in Houston’s Intercontinental (IAH) airport in Continental’s Terminal C.  It opened several 
months ago and it has become my go-to restaurant for dinner before my typical Thursday evening flight back to Orlando. 

Not only does Le Grand Comptoir have a fabulous menu of wines and beers, but their food offers healthy choices that I love.  I always order their Provencale Salad, which loads on Greek olives, cucumbers, green beans and tomatoes onto fresh greens, topped with a broiled chicken breast. If I am running late to my flight, the restaurant prepares this salad to go within about 10 minutes and I eat it while in-flight, to the envy of my seatmates. Otherwise, I prefer to sit down and enjoy my salad, while either watching one of their televisions, working on my laptop (yes, they have outlets along the wall!), or just people-watching. In the evenings, Le Grand Comptoir is packed. But wait for a few minutes and a table usually opens up, or a stool at their bar. 

It’s a fun place with great atmosphere, food and wine… so check it out the next time you’re in Terminal C at IAH.
