Cedar Tree - Dublin

Lebanese food in the heart of Dublin. Lots of interesting dishes to try, generous portions.

Great start of the Year, me and my partner where in Dublin for the new year eve. Today on the 1st we ended up on this beautiful Libanese restaurant. First of all great service from all, friendly and educate always with a smile. Food was so tasty and the right amount, really reccomend! Thanks so much

ALICE! ALICE OUR WAITRESS AND HER COLLEAGUES AND THE HEAD CHEF AND HIS STAFF IN ONE MEAL IN ONE 5 STAR SITTING ALICE AND THE STAFF AT THE CEDAR TREE PROVED THAT THEY ARE THE BEST. THE RESTAURANT WAS BUSY WITH INDIVIDUALS AND COUPLES DINING FROM THE MOMENT THE PLACE OPENED, PROVING ONCE AGAIN THAT THE CEDAR TREE CRAFTS THE BEST LEBANESE FOOD IN THE CEDAR CITY DUBLIN. PERFECT IN A BITE. I HAD THE LUNCH MENU. 28 EURO FOR A STARTS, MAIN AND A LEBANESE COFFEE OR TEA. BEING HUNGRY ON THE DAY I INVESTED ANOTHER 2 EURO IN THE TOP OF THE RANGE FISH DISH, 6 EURO FOR A GLASS OF WINE TO APPRECIATE MY FISH WITH AND ADDED ANOTHER 6 EURO TO COMPLETE THE DINING EXPERIENCE WITH A DESSERT THAT MELTED ON THE PLATE AND ON MY TONGUE AND IN MY BELLY. Total cost 42 euro for a FEAST FIT FOR A KING and I left a 10 percent service charge for Alice and The Cedar Tree crew. There is only one place left in the world to go. There is only one spiced lamb kofta in the world to eat. There is only one steamed Seabass to dissect with pleasure at the ends of your fork prongs and knife tips. There is only here, only now. Only The Lebanon left to dine upon, only The Cedar Tree left to sea then spraoi that's the old Irish word for play and when we sparoi then we'll see who's serious about this restaurant business... And 1,528 reviews later, now 1,529, it can safely be said, that The Shah Of Iran could dine here and walk away feeling like he has exited a dessert mirage fueled by The Lebanese Passion 4 Food. P.s. I've been eating the lunch menu here for 7+ years and bringing my father for around the same length of time and here's the best bit of all the meal. The food and service and everything about the restaurant The Cedar Tree has actually GOTTEN MORE PERFECT, WHILE THE INTERNAL LEBANESE STYLE ARCHITECTURE NEVER CHANGED. TRULY THE GHOST OF THE LORD INHABITS THESE HALLS, BLESSING ALL THOSE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PASS THROUGH THESE OAK DOORS. Pro tip: I have a special love for The Lebanese Coffee, served in the traditional style, black, and warm with spices. Open at very comfortable hours, The Cedar Tree is the place to go when you need a place to go, in Dublin city. Lastly, I know it's a bit random, but that was the tastiest rice I ever ate, served with my fish. Thank you again to all the staff, and Alice, and of course, The Lebanon, for inspiring the breath of life, and gifting us with your bountiful fruit and delights. Godbless.

I recently visited a charming restaurant with friendly staff, located in the city center. My friends and I decided to try the shared selection menu priced at €40 per person for dinner. While the food was mostly tasty and included a variety of breads, meats, and vegetables, some dishes seemed to have been prepared in advance rather than freshly cooked. Although the overall experience was enjoyable, we felt that the price was a bit high for the portion sizes. I would consider returning to the restaurant but opt for ordering individual dishes instead of the shared selection menu.

We were unsure of the type of Lebanese cuisine served at this restaurant, but found it to be bland and lacking in flavor. The dishes did not resemble anything authentic from Lebanon. The unusual cocktail glasses made it difficult to enjoy our drinks. The chicken dish in particular was unrecognizable. Overall, the food had a frozen meal taste to it and we were disappointed to have ended our time in Dublin with this dining experience. We would have preferred pub grub instead.
