Not only tasty dishes but also quite a nice location: Restaurant Yauatacha (16. October 2022)
The Yauatacha is a nice change to what you usually get in Riyadh – the place is lovely and offers quite a good selection of different dishes. Once you’re seated and got your menu, you’re getting a few pickled vegetables which is quite nice with some spicy dips. I went for the “crispy duck salad […]
Simple but functional breakfast buffet: Restaurant Dish @ Aloft Riyadh (16. October 2022)
The breakfast selection in the Aloft Riyadh hotel is what you would expect from an Aloft hotel – it has everything you need, but nothing which would blow your mind. You find olives, pickled vegetables, … … cereals … … cut and fresh fruit … … an egg station … … bread … … as […]
The perfect place to enjoy a shisha on a rooftop: Restaurant Chifty (15. October 2022)
The name of the place somehow was a ‘turn-off’, since it sounded a bit shady. Turns out I was totally wrong. The Chifty is actually a lovely place to smoke shisha – but also a nice rooftop restaurant with live music and a bit secluded from the noisy streets of Riyadh. So, if you’re expecting […]
A delicious meat experience to be repeated soon: Restaurant Marble (15. October 2022)
Frankly, I hadn’t expected too much when it came to the Marble as the place doesn’t really look that appealing from the outside – neither from the inside. However, it actually turned out that the dishes here are quite good (although not on the cheap side). I went for the “Rocca Salad” (35.00 SAR) as […]
Short opening hours when it comes to food offering but tasty dishes: Executive Lounge @ JW Marriott (15. October 2022)
While it took a few attempts to figure out when the Executive Lounge was open and when it would serve food, I finally managed to do so. They offer a quite nice selection of small bites ranging from a couple of different hummuses … … to a variety of fresh fruit and sandwiches … … […]
Finally a hotel with a shisha offering: 10:10 Lounge @ Marriott Riyadh Diplomatic Quarter (14. October 2022)
It seemed like there was literally no hotel available, which would offer shisha on premise. And finally, after a search for weeks, I had found one. The Marriott Riyadh Diplomatic Quarter offers shishas in their pool lounge 10:10. I went for my “Double Apple Shisha” which was no only served quite quickly, but was also […]
Something like a truly Mexican experience in Saudi? Restaurant Don Ruben’s (14. October 2022)
Talk about modern interpretation and abundance! That’s what you get at the Don Ruben’s! The place is actually run by two Mexicans, and they prepare relatively original Mexican food. However, it comes with a twist, i.e., a few sauces more than I am used to from proper Mexican food, and definitely more abundant portions. We […]
When an experience is, unexpectedly, close to perfection: The Capital Lounge @ JW Marriott (14. October 2022)
The options for lunch are relatively limited, and since the Executive Lounge is serving food only until 2pm, I had to find another solution. On the ground floor, there is The Capital Lounge, which offers food basically at all times. Which was perfect. I was in a rush and had only about 20 minutes to […]
