The restaurant’s menu is quite extensive, showcasing a wide range of dishes that capture the flavors of the Mediterranean and the Middle East, with an emphasis on freshness and traditional preparation techniques. Here’s an overview of the menu at Cedars Restaurant:
Mezzes: The Heart of Lebanese Cuisine
The Lebanese dining experience often begins with mezzes, small plates meant for sharing, and Cedars offers a delightful variety.
Both cold and hot mezzes are available, allowing diners to indulge in diverse flavors and textures.
Cold Mezzes
- Hummus: One of the most popular dishes on the menu, Cedars’ hummus is smooth and creamy, made from blended chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and garlic. The restaurant also serves variations like Hummus Beiruti, which is spiced with cumin and parsley, and Hummus with Lamb, where the hummus is topped with sautéed lamb.
- Baba Ghanoush: A smoky and rich eggplant dip, seasoned with garlic, lemon, and olive oil. It’s a crowd favorite for those who enjoy bold flavors.
- Tabbouleh: A fresh and tangy salad made from finely chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, and bulgur, with a lemon and olive oil dressing.
- Fattoush: Another salad that features mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and crispy pita bread pieces, all tossed in a zesty sumac dressing.
- Warak Enab: Delicate vine leaves stuffed with rice, tomatoes, and spices, served cold.
Hot Mezzes
- Falafel: Made from ground chickpeas and spices, Cedars’ falafel is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, accompanied by tahini sauce.
- Kibbeh: A quintessential Lebanese dish made from ground meat and bulgur wheat, shaped into balls and fried to perfection. Cedars also offers Kibbeh Nayeh, a raw version of this dish, similar to steak tartare.
- Sambousek: Savory pastries filled with either minced meat or cheese, fried until golden and crispy.
- Grilled Halloumi: A simple but delicious dish featuring slices of halloumi cheese that are grilled until slightly crispy and served warm.
Grilled Dishes and Mains
For those looking for more substantial meals, Cedars’ menu also features a selection of grilled meats, seafood, and other traditional Lebanese dishes.
- Mixed Grill Platter: A popular choice for groups, this platter comes with an assortment of grilled meats like lamb kebabs, chicken shish tawook, and kofta (minced lamb or beef). It’s served with garlic sauce, rice, and grilled vegetables.
- Lamb Chops: Perfectly marinated and grilled, the lamb chops are juicy and flavorful, often served with a side of rice or potatoes.
