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 […]
Quite decent Italian dishes I had not expected: Restaurant Roma, Ceiricon Buildings Branch (10. December 2022)
Somehow, it gets more and more difficult to find new restaurants which have a Google Rating which is higher than 4.0, but I managed to find Roma. And frankly, I wasn’t really too keen on trying Italian food in Riyadh, but it turned out to be better than expected. Well, not necessarily with the complementary […]
Much better Italian food than I had expected and quite atmopsheric: Restaurant Signor Sassi (7. December 2022)
The Signor Sassi had been recommended to me, but, since it is an Italian restaurant, I wasn’t intrigued to visit it as a priority. However, I must say, I was quite positively surprised with the experience here. We shared a few different starters like the “tricolore salad (avocado, tomato, mozzarella)” (85.00 SAR) which was relatively […]
