Cedar Restaurant

You walk into Cedar and immediately clock the care taken with everything — from the way they've done out the space to how seriously they take their mezze. This is Lebanese food done properly: hummus that's silky, kibbeh that shatters in your mouth, and grilled meats that prove they know their way around heat. The crowd's a proper mix of locals who've made it their regular spot and people who've travelled across the city specifically for it. It's the kind of place where you'll overhear families debating which dish to order next time, and where the staff actually seem to want you to have a good night.
