I recently dined here and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food was truly amazing, and I was particularly impressed by the flavorful meats. The owner proudly mentioned their ranking among the top 100 Mediterranean restaurants in the Midwest, and I wholeheartedly agree that they deserve such recognition. In my opinion, Cedar Place Restaurant is the best Mediterranean restaurant I've tried so far in the Midwest. The delicious flavors and welcoming atmosphere made it a memorable dining experience. Will be back soon for their garlic sauce! Bring cash to avoid the 3.5% credit card fee. Limited Street parking.

Great service and tasty food! This BYOB spot is casual with great authentic Lebanese cuisine. The lentil soup is so flavorful yet simple and made me feel warm. Already thinking about the next time I’d get to go here. I want to try their baklava so bad!

When I saw this place was rated 4.9 stars I couldn’t believe it, so I had to try. Turns out they were wrong, this place deserves 10 stars out of 5!! Absolutely incredible! The food was delicious *chefs kiss*, the shawarma (chicken and beef) both cooked to perfection. Rich of flavour, and very authentic Middle Eastern type cooking! The service was phenomenal, huge thanks to Ankito who is probably the nicest server ever, and not mention the atmosphere and decor of the place was really well thought of. I am definitely coming back here and I cannot wait. Highly recommend!

10 stars easily! Beautiful intimate ambiance, fresh flavorful food and one very dedicated thoughtful owner! You can taste the integrity of real ingredients, recipes passed down generations and authentic flavor in every single bit! The lentil soup is a must, and try the combination dinner to experiences a good sampling of their menu. Then ending with dessert is a must! Definitely have a new regular spot and we’re excited to try their breakfast!!

It’s a shame, while the place is very nice and the service was great, the food was not. The falafel and kafta kebab were both dry and lacked any flavor, the bulgur wheat and rice pilaf also had almost no flavor. The lentil soup was fine but not great, again with very little flavor (mostly salty). On the other hand, the vegetarian combo appetizer was great. The people were really nice but the food just wasn’t very good.

Very friendly and family owned restaurant. Visited them while taking a walk by Lincoln Park. Would come again. Highly recommend the taboleh. It tasted fresh.

Greatest service I’ve had in a very long time! The family that runs the restaurant are very friendly. The food was delicious. It’s a BYOB, so make sure to remember to bring your own alcohol!

This is by far the best Lebanese food (and Mediterranean food) in the city. No question about it. There is a reason Cedar Palace has 4.9 stars and over 700 reviews. I recommend the lunch or dinner combo. Great value. Lot of food and so fresh. The falafel is great as well. This place is also BYOB, can’t beat that! Oh, and the staff is fantastic. So accommodating. It’s family owned, and you really feel like part of the family when at Cedar Palace. Located a few minutes walk from the Armitage Brown Line stop, so very accessible by train. They have street parking in front for those with cars.
