Traditional Lebanese cookery meets modern London style at Maida Vale’s The Cedar Lebanese Restaurant. The dining room, fully refurbished in 2011, reflects contemporary urban tastes with exposed brick providing a hint of lofty industrial living, tempered by understated mood lighting, fresh flowers and furniture in warm, earthy tones of wood and leather. Serving a variety of Lebanese dishes, The Cedar provides a widely varied menu, ranging from hot and cold mezze specialties to grilled kebab dishes and even pizzas, both Italian and Lebanese in flavour. Not only are guests offered authentic dinners at The Cedar but breakfasts and lunches too from a huge selection of Manakeesh – a popular pizza-like Levantine dish – and sandwiches filled with home-style ingredients. A friendly, accommodating meeting place, The Cedar is ideal for business lunches, for meeting with friends over coffee and a nibble or for romantic dinners.
