Lebanese specialties in Nantes, Le Cèdre
made in house

Lebanese specialties, a meal built on sharing

Lebanese specialties form one of the great tables of the Mediterranean, built on sharing. Rather than an individual plate, a succession of small dishes is set in the centre for everyone to graze on at their own pace. At Le Cèdre, the first Lebanese restaurant in Nantes, opened on rue Kervegan in 1988, this tradition runs through every service: cold and hot mezze, fire-grilled dishes and syrup-soaked desserts, all made in house.

Tasting Lebanese specialties means discovering a wide variety of flavours in a single meal. Vegetables, fresh herbs, marinated meats and pastries echo one another around the table. This generosity, faithful to the flavours of Lebanon, turns every lunch or dinner into a convivial moment that Le Cèdre has kept alive in Nantes for more than thirty years.

The Lebanese specialties served at Le Cèdre

Our menu brings together the great families of Lebanese specialties. Cold and hot mezze open the meal with small portions to share. Then come the grills, meats marinated and cooked over the fire, fragrant and generous. The meal ends with syrup-soaked desserts, delicate pastries that add a sweet note.

All these specialties are made in house in our dining room on rue Kervegan, on the Île de Nantes. To go with it all, Le Cèdre offers a selection of Lebanese wines, from an ancient Mediterranean vineyard. Mezze, grills, desserts and Lebanese wines together make up a true meal of sharing.
