Cedar Lounge

Cedar Lounge sits on Rosenkavalierplatz at the edge of Arabellapark, the part of Bogenhausen with Munich's largest concentration of Levantine families and the ambient demand that keeps the kitchen honest. The mezze section is the reason to come — proper hummus, baba ganoush, muhammara, kibbeh — and the mixed grill platters are sized for sharing in the Beirut style rather than plated for one. Halal throughout, vegetarian and vegan-friendly, lemon-mint lemonade that locals call out specifically. The room is functional rather than designed; the food is the point. Open Sundays and public holidays — useful when most of the rest of the city is closed.
