In Nantes since 1988
Celebrate a birthday at the oldest Lebanese restaurant in Nantes
For a birthday in Nantes, Le Cèdre welcomes you at 20 rue Kervegan, on the Île de Nantes, a few steps from the Bouffay district. The first Lebanese restaurant in the city, opened in 1988, the house puts the sharing spirit of the Lebanese table at the service of your celebrations. You sit down, order a succession of mezze, and the meal quickly becomes a moment of conviviality, exactly what you expect from a birthday with loved ones.
In the heart of Nantes, in a warm dining room, the team welcomes you at lunch and dinner to celebrate the occasion around a generous cuisine. Whether you are a few friends or a large family gathering, the restaurant stays true to what has built its reputation for more than thirty years: a homemade Lebanese cuisine, made to be shared.
A cuisine to share
Mezze, grills and homemade desserts for your birthday meal
The birthday meal begins with mezze, cold and hot, set in the centre of the table for everyone to help themselves. Then come the grills, marinated and fragrant, followed by syrup-soaked desserts that close the meal on a sweet note. This progression, typical of the Lebanese table, lends itself naturally to large gatherings and occasions worth celebrating.
To go with the meal, Le Cèdre offers a selection of Lebanese wines, from an ancient Mediterranean vineyard. Everything is made in house, from the mezze to the final sweets: it is this consistency, rather than a fixed birthday menu, that makes the difference. You build your meal freely from the menu, to suit your tastes and your group.
