Cold & hot mezze
Hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh, falafels, stuffed vine leaves, kibbeh… a mosaic of small dishes to share, a large part of it vegetarian.
The mezzeLebanese cuisine · Nantes
The Lebanese table of Nantes, since 1988
At 20 rue Kervegan, in the Bouffay district, Le Cèdre has been serving generous, 100% homemade Lebanese cuisine for over thirty years: mezze to share, marinated grills and syrup sweets.
The first Lebanese in Nantes
A Lebanese address in the heart of Nantes
Opened in 1988, Le Cèdre is the first Lebanese restaurant in Nantes. Located at 20 rue Kervegan, in the Bouffay district and a short walk from the Île de Nantes, it welcomes guests in a warm stone dining room.
People come here to share: a table covered with cold and hot mezze, grills scented with Lebanese spices, then a syrup pastry to finish. A cuisine of tradition, served with the same generosity since day one.

The flavours of Lebanon, to share
Lebanese food is all about sharing. Here is what makes up a table at Le Cèdre, from the first mezze to the last dessert.

Chich taouk, kefta and marinated skewers, cooked to order and scented with Lebanese spices.
The grillsSyrup desserts

The desserts
Homemade
Nothing industrial, everything cooked on rue Kervegan
Every recipe is prepared on site by the restaurant team: chickpea and aubergine dips, fillings, marinades, pastries. Nothing is outsourced.
This standard, upheld since 1988, is what makes Le Cèdre so consistent — and what keeps its Nantes regulars coming back.
