Quite a lovely dining experience with overcaring service personnel: Restaurant Dasha (20. March 2023)
I was looking for a place I hadn’t visited yet and which was rated quite high on Google, so I found Dasha, which – with a 4.8 – seemed definitely interesting. And I must say, it was. The place is located in The Esplanade, which is a place where many restaurants are located – and […]
Tasty meat at no 23. of The World’s 50 Best MENA: Restaurant Marble (15. March 2023)
The Marble has been nominated No. 23 of The World’s 50 Best – MENA and frankly, somehow it’s understandable, somehow not. To be fair, they have definitely upped their menu in terms of finesse compared to my last visit in October 2022, where the menu was relatively basic (but good). So, I decided to go […]
Delicious Lebanese food experience in Saudi Arabia: Restaurant Burj Al Hamam – Takhassusi (14. March 2023)
The Burj Al Hamam is in an area where I’m quite frequently. Still, somehow I have never paid the place a visit – so far. After the canteen was closed already and we all hadn’t eaten that day around 4pm, we figured, we should go for a decent meal – and it was Burj Al […]
Remaining a delicious choice for dinner with friendly and professional service: Restaurant Kazo @ Le Méridien Riyadh (1. February 2023)
I have really grown fond of the Kazo since it offers good food, which is served swiftly, in a nice atmosphere and with friendly service. This time, I went for the “young papaya salad (string beans, tomato, cilantro, toasted peanut, Som tam dressing)” (43.70 SAR), which was quite a portion for a starter and a […]
Rather average buffet selection for dinner: Restaurant Milwan @ Le Méridien Riyadh (30. January 2023)
Apparently, there is also a buffet option in the Milwan restaurant, which is quite okay, but also on the rather pricey side with 185.00 SAR for the buffet, which is okay in terms of price, but pricey if you’re not that hungry. In any case, the selection you have at the buffet is quite decent […]
A decent, but simple lounge experience: Executive Lounge @ Le Méridien Riyadh (29. January 2023)
Despite having stayed here for a while, I somehow haven’t been able to visit the Executive Lounge – but finally it was time. They close the buffet at 8.30pm, so if you arrive 8.25pm, there is almost nothing left. However, the selection is still decent, ranging from a variety of different cheeses and breads … […]
Consistency in the quality of the food and service: Restaurant Kazo @ Le Méridien Riyadh (25. January 2023)
Since there were just two options for the evening, and since the Kazo menu was somewhat more appealing to me, I decided to give the Kazo another try and went for the “papaya salad” to start with – which was quite lovely. Also, nicely spicy, but the waiter had asked specifically if I wanted the […]
Surprisingly nice Asian fusion kitchen options on premise: Restaurant Kazo @ Le Méridien Riyadh (24. January 2023)
By randomly bumping into a former colleague of mine in the hotel elevator, I figured that there is a second restaurant on premise! The Kazo offers Asian fusion cuisine, so it was time to give it a try. We went for the “crispy duck salad (sakura, lettuces, pomelo, pomegranate, figs yuzu plum sauce)” (105.80 SAR), […]
