With its welcoming light décor, this popular Lebanese restaurant seems to tick quite a few boxes for the locals, who frequent the place. It’s open from breakfast to late in the evening, offering authentic, generously sized and well-priced dishes mainly focused on Lebanese cuisine, but with some influences from across the region. Sharing is always recommended by the friendly team.

Lusin位于利雅得购物中心二楼，提供精致的亚美尼亚及地中海料理。多数食客称赞其食物品质出色，推荐南瓜汤、樱桃酱烤肉、卷心菜及特色沙拉，氛围优雅且服务通常迅速得体。然而，部分评论指出性价比偏低，认为菜品价格过高，且存在自助餐品种单一、预订响应不及时或服务员强行推销等问题。整体而言，这是一家适合体验正宗亚美尼亚风味的餐厅，但需对价格和潜在的服务波动有心理准备。

Overlooking the Financial Plaza in KAFD is this branch of Alain Ducasse’s Benoit. This classic French bistro de luxe is a restaurant on the ground level and a café on the first floor. Bright red banquettes and vintage chandeliers hanging from the ceiling add a classic touch to the otherwise modern and futuristic architecture of the district. It’s like being in a tiny corner of France as the vocals Édith Piaff and Charles Aznavour play in the background, while the menu offers escargot, pâté en croûte and soufflé au chocolat. Some subtle Middle Eastern influences are evident too, like the Camel

Korean barbeque meets a fun and elevated setting. It’s on you to cook up the meat as you like on a hot plate at the centre of the table. Get yourselves a couple of starters to share before choosing your preferred cut of beef. Expect a generously portioned selection of pickles and kimchi to complement your barbeque experience. If you’re still looking to prolong your evening, make your way to the nearby bowling alley and cinema for the ultimate fun night out.

$$$$Japanese, Grills
As the name suggests, the focus here is Japanese barbecue – or robatayaki, to be more precise. Expect flavourful, modern Japanese dishes paired with carefully sourced ingredients, such as a juicy Angus beef fillet, Gulf prawns with a kimchi sauce and plenty of vegetarian options like portobello mushroom in a ponzu marinade. Inside, the ambiance is always lively, as dance music plays in the background and the chefs can be seen grilling away through the glass wall.
$$Lebanese
In Laysen Valley, nearby the Diplomatic Quarter, is this predominantly Lebanese restaurant. The colourfully designed interior matches well with the menu. Chef Abdullah Bakri prepares vibrant and flavour-packed dishes with subtle twists. Interesting plates include the tabbouleh with passion fruit and their version of the Egyptian Om Ali, while their shish tawook is considered a signature dish. In cooler months, opt to sit on the large terrace at the back, which overlooks a sunken garden.
$$Saudi Cuisine
Fairly modern on the outside, but on the inside, the decor replicates classic Najdi architecture. Enter through heavy wooden doors, walk past sand blown walls before sitting down to enjoy a modern approach to traditional Saudi cuisine and other dishes from across the Middle East. The food is prepared with a degree of refinement, delivering authentic flavours and textures. The likes of machboos, jareesh and saleeq – a creamy rice dish made with milk and broth – adorn the menu. Do try the crispy sambosa pastries filled with camel meat. Fresh dates and a tahini dip are served at the start of your
$Saudi Cuisine
Regional cooking of Saudi Arabia is celebrated here at this neighbourhood restaurant. The space is decorated with brightly coloured kilims around the pillars and an array of basketwork shades hanging from the ceiling. Pick up an Arabic coffee infused with cardamom from the cart as you enter. The menu includes Hasawi meat kebabs from the eastern Al-Ahsa region, the well-known Mandi rice dishes from the Aseer and Al Bahah regions in the south, and Marqooq, which is recognised as the official dish of Riyadh. Desserts, like Om Ali, are a must have.
$$$$Creative
It’s all about Kobe beef here. Located in the luxurious VIA Riyadh, this simple yet contemporary restaurant with a large open kitchen finds itself sitting pretty in the high-end shopping district.

Nestled in historic Diriyah, known as the birthplace of Saudi Arabia, this Saudi restaurant boasts specialities originating from the country’s 13 provinces. Dishes like the lamb mantu (steamed dumplings), mandi lamb shoulder and freshly baked breads served with dips and local honey are delivered with obvious pride. To get the full experience, opt for one of their tasting menus known as the Maiz Experience – one offers six courses, another has eight and the last has 12.
$$Thai
If you’re walking in the bustling Bujairi Terrace and fancy a trip to Thailand, you should head to this spot that literally means “come and try.” Take a seat on the terrace, or if it’s open, the upstairs area to enjoy a selection of famed David Thompson recipes that may include chicken satay leu, green papaya salad, khao soi Chiang Mai and homemade ice creams. Their set Maa Long Chim menu is vibrant and authentic – and well worth a try. The service is also a plus, thanks to the endearingly friendly team.
$$$Middle Eastern
Chef Roaya Saleh brings her own style of Khaleeji cooking from her native Bahrain to this restaurant overlooking the UNESCO World Heritage site of At-Turaif. The room has a calm, chic feel with neutral tones and subtle bursts of colour. Even on a warm evening, the air-conditioned terrace is the place to be. The menu mixes a few Mediterranean dishes with wider Middle Eastern selections. Share some dumplings and koftas, followed with lamb mozat – a typical Bahraini dish of lamb served on vermicelli rice and pine kernels. End with the muhallabia for dessert, a comforting and creamy rice and milk

Within the Bab Samhan Hotel, with its neo Najdi architecture, sits this restaurant, set over two floors. The space is split into a series of smaller rooms and terraces, which makes it feel like a home. Chef Michael Mina, who is known for restaurants in the USA, was born in Egypt and his menu here shows regional nods. Mezze-style sharing dishes are brought to the table when ready – falafel topped with tahini and tuna, and the creamy rice pudding dessert is a nod to Egypt. The use of prime ingredients is apparent, while the faultless service adds to the experience.

位于利雅得法赛利亚大厦的The Globe以高空景观和优雅氛围著称，多数评论称赞其服务专业且环境精致。然而，食物质量评价两极分化：部分食客认为菜品美味且摆盘精美，但也有反馈指出主菜平庸、口味一般甚至存在未煮熟的情况。负面体验主要源于开放式雪茄吧带来的烟草气味，以及个别案例中提到的收费争议和服务响应迟缓。总体而言，这里适合追求视觉享受和商务宴请的顾客，但对餐饮品质有极高要求的食客需谨慎选择。
适合重视景观与氛围的商务或特殊场合用餐者，但对食物挑剔者需降低预期。
