An absolutely okay hotel dinner option: Restaurant Milwan @ Le Méridien Riyadh (23. January 2023)
Given the Executive Lounge already closes at 8.30pm (respectively, doesn’t serve food any more after this time), I decided to give the Milwan a shot for dinner. The place was almost empty at 10pm, which led to speedy service taking care of you. I went for the “Tomato Shorba” (41.40 SAR), which was okay, but […]
Decent, but far from excellent breakfast: Restaurant Milwan @ Le Méridien Riyadh (23. January 2023)
The breakfast buffet at the Restaurant Milwan in the Le Méridien Riyadh is quite decent. Nothing exciting, nothing super outstanding, but definitely good on average. It has grilled halloumi, which already makes me happy in the morning, as well as a variety of other very enjoyable elements ranging from … … a variety of cheeses […]
Still okay, but not as good as usually: Restaurant Chef Boutique (15. December 2022)
The Chef Boutique has somehow become my go to in the evening – since the place is nice, the food is good, the service is usually swift, and price-wise it’s decent. This evening, that was almost all true. Only when it was about the speed of the service, then we didn’t quite get there. The […]
Simple, swift, and tasty dishes for a fair price: Restaurant Baozi (14. December 2022)
I wanted to find a place which was still open after 10pm and was rated decently, so I ended up in the Baozi. What wasn’t too clear to me, was the fact that the place is more a kind of food joint and not really a proper restaurant. However, once you’re seated, they take up […]
Not worth re-visiting despite the decent food: Restaurant Vivenea Lounge (13. December 2022)
Originally, I wanted to go to a place called ‘FireGrill’, which was rated quite nicely on Google Maps. However, when I ended up there, the place wasn’t really too appealing and quite empty. And since I saw a place, which served shisha, I decided to give that place a try. The Vivenea Lounge definitely doesn’t […]
Absolutely heavenly burgers – worth trying: Restaurant Burger Boutique (12. December 2022)
It was not so easy to find a place close to the hotel I was staying at which had a good rating. And despite the fact that I was not really feeling like burgers, I decided to pay the Burger Boutique a visit, since it was close, and it had a decent rating. To ‘compensate’ […]
Decent shisha, but not the smartest service: Restaurant Chifty (11. December 2022)
Chifty is nice in the warmer months, when you can sit outside and enjoy your shisha there. It’s also okay when you are in the cooler months, since you can smoke your “Double Apple Nakhlar” (175.00 SAR) shisha inside. And while the atmosphere is quite nice, it is rather cold (cooled down via AC) and […]
Decent and good dishes with good service: Restaurant Loris (11. December 2022)
I’ve passed by Loris twice, but somehow never bothered to enter. When it showed up with a 4.7 rating on Google Maps, I decided to give it another try. And frankly, I was quite positively surprised. As so many places, Loris was quite empty on a weekday. That was great since it meant that the […]
