6 of Riyadh’s Hottest Restaurants

These are the places to eat and be seen at in the Saudi capital

Beyond its magical history and towering skyscrapers, Riyadh is one hell of a city.

 

Between the parks, historic (and modern) architecture –  you could literally drown in the greenery and foliage of the city’s abundance of beautiful outdoor gardens.

 

Depending on the vibe you’re looking for, the city is brimming with diverse neighbourhoods like Al-Bahta, which is the oldest part of the city – be sure to check out the Mamsak fortress and the King Abdul Aziz Historical Center (which houses the city’s most valuable collection).

 

If modernity is more your thing, then be sure to head over to the newest part of the city – with its incredible architecture like the Kingdom Tower, a three-floor shopping mall and of course an abundance of restaurants.

 

We rounded up a list of the city’s hottest restaurants to wake up your taste buds.

Scheduled for opening in April 2018 alongside the Nobu Hotel Riyadh, the iconic Japanese restaurant will be your new favourite hangout.

 

The Grill

 

 

Located in the Four Seasons, The Grill offers modern cuisine with a huge choice of quick-bite burgers. The meat-heavy restaurant has become famous for their barbecue nights and imported meats.
