The vegetarian Lebanese restaurant in Nantes, Le Cèdre
since 1988

A vegetarian Lebanese restaurant in the heart of Nantes

As the first Lebanese restaurant in Nantes, opened on rue Kervegan in 1988, Le Cèdre is a naturally welcoming address for anyone looking for a vegetarian meal. Lebanese cuisine rests on a wide variety of mezze based on vegetables and pulses, which makes it possible to build a real meat-free meal, generous and homemade, at 20 rue Kervegan on the Île de Nantes.

Whether you are vegetarian every day or simply in the mood for a light, fragrant meal, at Le Cèdre you will find a succession of small dishes to share. A few steps from the Bouffay district, the house welcomes guests at lunch and dinner and offers the same homemade cuisine on site, as takeaway or as delivery within Nantes.

Homemade vegetarian mezze in Nantes

Mezze are the heart of Lebanese cuisine and, among them, many are vegetarian. At Le Cèdre, the cold and hot mezze based on vegetables, pulses and fresh herbs are made in house every day, in our dining room on rue Kervegan. They are set in the centre of the table to be shared.

This logic of sharing makes a vegetarian meal especially convivial: you taste a little of everything, you swap, you start again. Rather than an individual plate, it is a mosaic of Mediterranean flavours that makes up the meal, in the spirit of the Lebanese table.

Lebanese cuisine, naturally rich in vegetarian dishes

Lebanese cuisine belongs to the great family of Mediterranean cuisines, built on olive oil, vegetables, pulses and fresh herbs. This plant-based foundation explains why a Lebanese meal lends itself so well to a vegetarian version: you simply build your selection of mezze around the meat-free preparations.

To better understand this tradition of sharing and the place of vegetables on the Lebanese table, you can discover Lebanese cuisine and its Mediterranean heritage, which Le Cèdre has kept alive in Nantes since 1988.
