30 Years of Hospitality

With its signature dishes, Le Cèdre Restaurant embodies the multicolored facets of Lebanon. And it has been doing so for 30 years.

Back then, Maurice Houraibi opened the first Lebanese restaurant in Zurich at a time when hommos and tahini were still foreign expressions for most visitors. Maurice's secret ingredient is undoubtedly his passion for exceptional quality. To this day, the son of a greengrocer and butcher selects every piece of meat personally. And three times a week, he wakes up at four o'clock in the morning to find the freshest fruits and vegetables at the market. This way, he always creates the tastiest specialties for his guests. 

Spécialités du Cèdre is proud to uphold this tradition as second generation.







Handmade With Love

Over the past decade, we have built a deep-rooted network both in Switzerland and in Lebanon, where family-owned and small businesses have been lovingly handcrafting high-quality Lebanese ingredients.

With Spécialités du Cèdre products and classic recipes from Le Cèdre Restaurant, we bring authentic Lebanese specialties to your kitchen for the first time.

For a culinary experience full of familiar flavors and a pinch of surprise. Just like Lebanon.
