    We celebrated our 5th anniversary by having dinner at this restaurant. After reading it's reviews online and hearing what people had to say about the food, I knew we had to try it! We made reservations in advance via email and had to change the timings twice and found the staff to be very accommodating. Upon arriving, we found the restaurant to be packed to the brim but we did not have to wait bc of our reservations. We were seated where all the other Muslim tourists were seated with families. It was rather hard to get the attention of our server, he wasn't too pleasant. The food on the other hand was absolutely delicious. The Baba ganoush was truly one of the best I've had. The meat melted in my mouth, I was able to taste the different flavors. The salad was also refreshing. The restaurant itself was beautiful with middle eastern decor and had a warm vibe to it. Even though the service was not the best here, I'd highly recommend it as the food was divine.

    The food here is absolutely amazing. The best Middle Eastern and specifically Lebanese in Zürich for me. It's very consistent at this location and with the other location as well. The ambience at this location is much more cozy and old world than the other location. The hummus with beef is amazing, the cheese stuffed pastry is devine. All of the mezzes I've had at Le Cedre are downright stellar. The service sucks though, hence the 3 stars. The only reason I come back is for the food.

    Best Lebanese restaurant you'll find. Family owned and not stingy with the food. Very fresh and authentic.

    Had a dinner here, long waiting time and rude staff, I do not recommend it at all. Not a place to enjoy an evening.

    Oh my god- this place is the savior of food in Switzerland. I'm sorry but Switzerland may be known…read morefor their amazing chocolate but food is definitely not their specialty, unless you're into bland food and smelly (albeit tasty, sometimes) cheese. Cèdre-Bellevue serves Lebanese food and I can tell that the owners are from Lebanon which is indeed comforting. Absolutely everything was delicious- a rare occasion indeed especially in Zurich, but truly nothing missed the mark. My personal favorite was the arayes- the lemon potatoes inside were amazing and I haven't had arayes with this before. All in all, if you're in Switzerland despite this not being Swiss food, do yourself a favor and try it. It's some of the best Lebanese food I've had and I live in NYC haha.

    The food is good but the service not…read more I've been to Le Cèdre at Bellevue twice and twice I had a similar experience. The restaurant is centrally located, just next to the Limmat river a few steps from Bellevue. I've had both the Mezze menu and the a la carte options and I must say the food quality is good, the price is right for what you get. But I cannot get over the really non-existent service. I think they are convinced that due to the prime location it's not necessary to be friendly and prompt? A good example was that when ordering another round of drinks, we had to wait 30 mins (no special orders) while some of the staff was just standing around the bar. In addition, it doesn't feel like you are welcome, they seem to be annoyed by all the guests. I've been to Cedre at their Badenerstrasse location which is much better service wise but in summer they have limited outdoor seating capacity. If you are ok with soso service and decent food at a prime location, do go to Le Cedre Bellevue. Else, I'll prefer to take my business somewhere else, their sister restaurant for example!

    Very good libanese restaurant with outstanding friendly and funny service:)…read more We ordered the mezze for two for starters, every dish was delightful, I especially enjoyed th hummus, probably the best I've ever had:) We followed up the mezze with some lamb, which also tasted really good:) We'll be back for sure!

    There was no cellphone signal in this restaurant! :(…read more But the food was nice, and our group of 5 could linger and chat over a leisurely dinner. We ordered the Mezze for 5 people for CHF 173. It was a mix of hot and cold dishes, mostly vegetarian, but some had meat. I liked the variety of food. Not sure what everything was, but there was hummus, some ground meat wrapped in dough and deep-fried, eggplant, flat green beans, some spicy dishes, potato, and falafel among them. And it came with unlimited warm pita bread. I got a glass of prosecco to start, and our table shared a bottle of red wine. I had a bowl of rice pudding for dessert. It was thick and creamy with a light taste and topped with a generous amount of caramel rosewater sauce. Mmm... Dinner was really yummy, suitable for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike, and a nice taste of Lebanese food. The server was really nice and spoke a bit of English, but mostly German. We split the bill 5 ways, and it came out to about CHF 70 each, which included tip. And they let us each pay separately using our credit cards with no problems.
