The Cedar Restaurant

For those looking to branch beyond the mere half dozen or so ethnic cuisines prominent in Bangkok the Cedar restaurant offers welcome relief. Named after the tree that is Lebanon's national symbol, this restaurant resembling the interior of a Bedouin's tent serves up enchanting evenings in a Middle Eastern oasis.

A quarter century after it first flung back its tent flaps and a month after successfully relocating to another venue on Sukhumvit Soi 49/9, Bangkok's first Lebanese restaurant continues to offer some of the best Arabic and eastern Mediterranean food in town, amidst elegant decor.

Most compelling of the artistic flourishes that grace Cedar's two small rooms are silken brocade tapestries billowing from the ceiling. Evocative Middle Eastern music, Oriental carpets covering the floor, and brass artistry in the form of plates, daggers and hanging lamps further establish a scene reminiscent of the classic "1001 Arabian Nights.
On each of the dozen or so tables is a small Lebanese flag, bearing a green cedar tree.
The oasis theme is completed by the view of a spectacularly lit swimming pool, which anywhere else would probably look out of place.
