Here's a list of restaurants prevailing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Over the past few years there have been a lot of new & exciting restaurants booming up in Saudi Arabia. Some are exclusive for men, while some have separate sections for families so that women can dispense their veil and eat comfortably.
There has never been a wider choice or better time to dine out in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. One of my favorite beverages is the “Saudi Champagne”. This of course is not champagne but a fruit punch mainly consisting of apple and Perrier. On your arrival, most of the restaurants will ask if you’d like some Saudi Champagne. Don’t mistake this for a “free welcome drink”; else you will end up with an exorbitant bill.
Friday’s are special, Brunch Buffets are provided in most of the Hotels and Restaurants with a variety of mouth watering dishes. I’ve included the contact numbers of the Restaurants, so if you are in the mood to chill out at home; you can contact them for home delivery. Most of the Restaurants even provide Take-away & Catering services.
Here’s a note to the new comers: The Islamic faith prohibits the consumption of pork or pork derived products, hence most of the dishes are prepared with chicken or beef instead.
If you’ve been to any of the Restaurants mentioned do leave a comment on your experience.
