Cedar Restaurant

Service is the real standout here! The servers were lovely, really friendly and helpful as well as being great craic. Food was served quickly and was delicious. It was a great to look at as well, and complemented the lovely decor in this dark and mysterious place! Great for families as well as a romantic meal. The food was great for sharing and was fragrant while being packed with spices. Topping the night off with a lovely Irish coffee really topped off the evening! Thanks for a great night :)

Eaten at Cedar a few times and have never been disappointed. So I booked this restaurant for a private party on one of their closed Sundays and we had the whole place to ourselves. The owners were visiting family in Lebanon when I enquired by text but Berna could not have been more helpful. Menu choices were decided, costs were discussed and numbers were finalised quickly and easily so the party could go ahead on their return. The night itself was the most incredible event. At my request a family style meza was provided to the whole table allowing us to sample a wide range of hot and cold dishes as a group and to simply spend our time chatting and laughing whilst dipping and sharing a food experience. Everyone agreed the food was plentiful and delicious and the serving staff were proactive and courteous. There was nothing too much trouble throughout. In celebration of the occasion I was provided with the princess headwear and other guests were encouraged to don hats and robes for a truly Lebanese atmosphere. There was traditional music and the invite to dance with waiter Ahmed, a truly lively and vibrant guy, who created a very fun participation without intimidating or embarrassing any of the guests. People laughed and clapped and got involved in a way that was very authentic to Middle Eastern culture of family celebrations. Kitchen staff came out to join the dancing and it was such a delight to see the genuine enjoyment. As the host I loved every minute. The food was phenomenal, the restaurant looked inviting, warm and really classy. My guests were all in fine fettle and it was outstanding night. Forever memorable. Thank you all at Ceder

The food is excellent, the woman there is so lovely and friendly , the place is romantic , they offered us baklava in the end , just perfect 👌🏼

Small, romantic restaurant just outside the walled part of the city. The food here was really good. I highly recommend getting a selection of the meza. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was great. Will definitely be back.

We visited Fri 13th Sept. We'd been meaning to try here for so long but never got around to it. Booked via WhatsApp which was very handy and responses prompt. Upon entry we were greeted with a very warm welcome from the Hostess. The setting/decor is lovely. The music was fitting. We felt they have achieved the goal of transporting you to another country with the overall vibe. The Share starters were very tasty and a great way to try a variety of options rather than committing to one dish. We also enjoyed our Mains. Tasty, new flavours and worth noting everything felt light and healthy, with the absence of rich sauces etc, which was refreshing for us as part of a new dining experience. They dont serve alcohol but you can bring your own with a very reasonable corkage fee and your drinks are conveniently placed by your table in an ice bucket to open at your leisure. We would definitely recommend Ceder if you fancy something new and are willing to break your comfort zone from the usual local style of Bistro food. The service was absolutely fantastic and the owners interacting briefly with the customers is a lovely touch, although not intrusive at all.

Absolutely fabulous as always. Food is so flavoursome, authentic Middle East tastes and textures, and the meats and mains are not covered in sauces to add flavour, rather the meats and ingredients speak for themselves, just superb. We go to Cedar a few times a year, it never fails to impress, Berna and staff are top notch and service is always above & beyond. Cannot say a bad thing about this place, looking forward to our next visit already. Well done Cedar.

Great atmosphere, food and service. Authentic feel to the place. Babaganush was a big hit with the kids. Chicken and beef were great and the spicy potato side dish. Lovely staff, super friendly. Nice that the chef came out for a chat too.
