History in
the making
since 1996.
At age 27, Maurice made his way to Switzerland. His journey took him from Geneva to Bäretswil, where he began earning a living in the catering industry.
Yet, his dream of running his own restaurant never left him – so he packed up again and moved to the city of Zurich.
He opened the first Lebanese restaurant in Zurich at a time when hommos and tahini were still foreign expressions for most visitors.
With its signature dishes, Le Cèdre Restaurant quickly embodied the multicolored facets of Lebanon, and it has been doing so for 27 years.
