One of the best view points i have experienced in Lebanon. Windy and chill (ask for your abaya if you get too cold) the food was very good and quickly made, and the service was very friendly. I defined recommend getting a jacket with you. Definitely a great stop if you are going to the barouk.

What a beautiful location and lovely female owner! The food was delicious and the breathtaking view was so nice. Service was very good and the bathroom very clean! The room/chalet for rent looked really sweet as well! Worth going to if you are in the Barouk area!

The food and atmosphere are incredible—like stepping into a forest retreat with the perfect blend of modern comfort and authentic charm. Nahla, the owner of Cedar House, brings such amazing energy that makes the whole experience even more special.

A small lovely & casual restaurant on a hill with a stunning breathtaking view!!!!!!!!!!! Worth the long drive. The parking is too small maybe would be better to park a bit further & walk to the restaurant especially if you don't want your car to be locked. The food was delicious. Everything we ordered was tasty. I would be more generous with the fries. The service was quick. Friendly people. Better to go early otherwise you won't find a table. The toilets were very good & clean. Not a good place for a wheelchair.

What an amazing view! You get to see the valley and the cedar trees at the same time. Beautiful modest place, clean bathrooms with clean water. Delicious coffee and beautiful atmosphere.
