Homemade cold and hot mezze to share in the heart of Nantes. Book your table on rue Kervegan.
A real variety of cold and hot mezze, to build to your own taste.
Prepared in our kitchen, on rue Kervegan in Nantes.
Set in the centre of the table, to graze on together at lunch and dinner.
The same mezze spirit as a Lebanese buffet for your events, on quotation.
In Lebanon, as at Le Cèdre, the meal begins with mezze. These are small preparations, cold or hot, set in the centre of the table for everyone to share at their own pace. Rather than a single starter, Lebanese mezze offer a mosaic of flavours: you taste a little of everything, you swap, you stretch out the meal. In Nantes, Le Cèdre has carried on this sharing tradition on rue Kervegan since 1988.
This logic of sharing is what makes mezze so convivial. Vegetables, fresh herbs, pulses and more generous bites echo one another on the plate, never quite alike. At Le Cèdre, the cold and hot mezze are made in house, in the spirit of a true Lebanese table where you take the time to share.

Mezze come in two great families. Cold mezze open the meal with freshness, based on vegetables, herbs and pulses. Hot mezze, meanwhile, bring comfort with golden, fragrant bites. At Le Cèdre, both are made in house and designed to complement each other, to build a Lebanese meal as varied as it is generous in the heart of Nantes.
Served together, these mezze pair naturally with our meats marinated and grilled on site and our selection of Lebanese wines. You can enjoy them on their own, as a full meal to share, or extend them with a grill and a syrup-soaked dessert. It is the whole art of the Lebanese table that Le Cèdre keeps alive in Nantes.

Devant un plateau de mezzés, on confond souvent les purées froides qui se ressemblent. Voici comment les distinguer et quoi commander lorsque l’on découvre la cuisine libanaise.
Le houmous est une purée de pois chiches, relevée de tahini (crème de sésame), de jus de citron et d’ail. Le moutabal et le baba ghanouj partent, eux, de l’aubergine grillée jusqu’à ce que la chair prenne un goût fumé : le moutabal la lie au tahini pour une texture crémeuse, tandis que le baba ghanouj désigne le plus souvent une préparation d’aubergine plus rustique. Trois purées, mais deux bases bien distinctes : le pois chiche d’un côté, l’aubergine de l’autre.
Pour une première découverte, partagez plusieurs mezzés au centre de la table plutôt que de choisir un seul plat. Un houmous, un caviar d’aubergine, un taboulé frais, quelques falafels et une grillade libanaise donnent un aperçu complet des saveurs libanaises. Au Cèdre, l’ensemble de nos mezzés froids et chauds est pensé pour être partagé, comme au Liban.
Un bon libanais se reconnaît d’abord à ses mezzés faits maison, à la fraîcheur des herbes et au pain chaud servi à table. C’est la ligne que nous suivons depuis 1988 : au Cèdre, premier restaurant libanais de Nantes, la quasi-totalité de la carte est préparée maison, chaque jour.
