Le Cèdre brings a sophisticated twist to Lebanese cuisine in Nice’s Riquier neighborhood. Chef Jean Haidar, known for his earlier success with Le Beyrouth in Strasbourg, has crafted a bistronomic menu that honors tradition while adding a modern flair. The restaurant’s chic ambiance and dedication to quality have earned it a spot in the Michelin Guide’s 2025 selection—a rare achievement for a Lebanese spot in this area.
Michelin-recognized Lebanese gem in Nice
Le Cèdre is a standout in Nice’s dining scene, offering a refined take on Lebanese cuisine that feels both authentic and innovative. Chef Jean Haidar’s background shines through in every dish—expect generous portions of flavorful mezze, tender lamb, and perfectly spiced rice, all served in a warm, stylish setting. The fact that they’ve been selected for the Michelin Guide in 2025 speaks volumes about their consistency and quality.
What really sets Le Cèdre apart is their attention to detail and inclusivity. They’ve got solid vegetarian options, which is often a challenge in Middle Eastern restaurants, and the staff are clearly passionate about sharing their culinary heritage. It’s the kind of place where you’ll leave feeling satisfied and impressed, whether you’re a local regular or a visitor looking for an elevated meal.
