A slice of Lebanon in Dublin

The hummus was absolutely unreal, so smooth and full of tahini
Easy to get a hearty vegan meal!
I had a few starters for a main instead of the vegan main option.
Wish I had more friends to try the vegan mezze platter with😹

Delicious

I ate a delicious meal of Eggplant and Chickpeas in a stew served with rice. Serves meat, and is a little expensive, but the portion sizes are large, the food is very flavorful, and the staff is very kind. Would recommend!

Pros: Flavorful food, Great vegan options, Very kind staff

Cons: Expensive

Enjoyable

Had been wanting to try here for ages. The food was nice and didn't take too long but also wasn't so fast you felt it wasn't fresh. The man waiting the table was very nice and good fun too, as were the other staff. My friend ordered the wrong thing but decided to keep it as a side but the waiter was very nice and offered to change it. We were very relaxed and ordered a couple of teas as we were chatting but didn't feel any pressure to vacate the table. The restaurant was smaller than I expected but still a nice vibe. The only downside is that there is no accessible toilet and the toilet is upstairs.

Decent food, good service

A few vegan options, quite a nice interior (although the toilet was a bit poor), food was nice - had the Veg Mezze. Not too bad for the price, considering this is Dublin. Authentic music. Would probably come back.

Pros: Lunch menu, Service , Lunch prices

Delicious Vegan Mezze

The vegan mezze for two is huge! The starters alone serve 2 people. Try the homemade lemonade! Busy in the evening, quiet for lunch.

Pros: Huge and delicious vegan mezze, Friendly staff, Quiet over lunchtime

Super good!

Good and tasty food, lovely place and you should previously book because it seems it gets full easily. Service very kind and attentive. A LOT of vegan options and I think that vegan mezze is a lot for two people. A little bit expensive but you are in Temple Bar…

Pros: LOTS of vegan options, Lovely place, Food was excellent

Cons: A little bit expensive, Better if you book

Lovely dinner

I really enjoyed my visit at The Cedar Tree. Service was friendly and the food was very good. It was a very calm place and I liked the atmosphere. The interior is typical, but not overdone, and my meal was filling.

Amazing

It was the best meal we had in Dublin, and I was able to share with my family who are not vegan. Deserves 5 stars, but that’s not an option since they do serve meat...

Amazing!!!

The food was absolutely delicious. We didn't actually know what we ordered but it said on the menu that it was a vegan 'meal' for two people. They brought out a lot of small plates with hummus, falafel, bread, salads etc to try. After that we were full already, we didn't know there was also a main course lol. It was a lot of amazing food - highly recommend!!

Pros: Lots of delicious vegan options, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Cons: A bit pricey

Traditional Lebanese Food

I've been here a few times in the past and tried the Maghmour (traditional dish with aubergines, chickpeas, onions & tomato sauce, served with rice) and Falafel (both vegetarian main dishes). The last time I went I asked if the falafel were fried in the same oil as meat - yes! I forgot that this is often the case in restaurants. Some people may not mind this, but as a strict vegan it would put me off ordering the dish.

Overall the food is well presented, the restaurant is nicely decorated and it's always been busy any time I've visited.

Excellent vegan mezze

We decided to treat ourselves to the vegan mezze for two, for €52. We got an amazing spread: hummus, falafel, baba ganoush, spinach pastries, stuffed vine leaves, olives, fattoush, and more! Everything was really flavoursome, and there was a broccoli and cauliflower dip that was especially delicious. We were pretty full after all that, and thankfully the main dish was quite light - a slightly sweet tomato and aubergine stew with rice. I'd really recommend it, we enjoyed everything very much!

Cosy Friendly & Best Falafels

Had a quick lunch here. Lots of clearly marked vegan starters and 2 vegan main courses. There is also a vegan sharing plate for 2.
I enjoyed the friendly cosy atmosphere. The spinach & lentil soup was like a consommé & good. The falafels were easily the best I have ever had , simply & beautifully presented.

Nice Lebanese food

A nice little Lebanese restaurant with enough vegan options for mezze and warm dishes. Because the mezze plate is only available for two, I had a egg plant stew, which was nice and flavourful. Some of the staff were really nice, some were a bit inpatient.

Pros: Clear vegetarian and vegan options, nice staff

Cons: mezze plate can only be ordered for two
