An absolutely great breakfast buffet which offers all you need: Restaurant KitchenOn3 @ JW Marriott Hotel Riyadh (14. October 2022)
The breakfast buffet offers a nice selection of different tasty dishes, ranging from the more traditional breakfast elements to the less traditional and more local ones. You can really find kind of everything (besides pork, of course) … … making sure, you would be sufficiently happy to start your day. And I must say that […]
A nice dinner buffet with a twist: Restaurant KitchenOn3 @ JW Marriott Hotel Riyadh (13. October 2022)
I was starving that evening and since the Executive Lounge at the JW Marriott would only serve food till 8pm, I decided to give the Kitchen on 3 a try. They offer a nice buffet for the evening which consists of a savoury part (“food buffet” (80.00 SAR)) consisting of an assortment of good dishes […]
A place which goes right into ‘over-rated and over-priced’: Restaurant OVVI (12. October 2022)
Talk about hyped! The OVVI is rated 4.7 on Google, so, I decided to give it a try. And I somehow get why, but then again, I don’t. Once you’re seated you’re served “bread and butter” which is quite nice. The butter looks more like a spread, so is a bit misleading, but it was […]
Very speedy but not the best shisha: Night Time Coffee (11. October 2022)
I was craving a shisha and, luckily, very closely to the restaurant, I found the Night Time Coffee. I went, somehow as always, for a “Double Apple Shisha” (83.30 SAR) which was okay, but I have had better, i.e., smoother ones. What I must say, though, is that they are super swift in serving the […]
A lovely place which offers local dishes at local prices: Restaurant Yawmiyat (11. October 2022)
I was keen to explore the neighbourhood of the hotel a bit and started strolling through the city to find the ‘Yawmiyat’ which is a typical local restaurant offering good local food. You’re served a couple of pickled vegetables and olives to get started, which is nice to bridge the waiting time until your order […]
Great hummus and interesting dishes in cherry sauce: Restaurant Lusin (10. October 2022)
The Lusin was also recommended to me by a few people, so I decided to give this one a try too. Once you’re seated, and in this branch you have the possibility to sit outside, you’re handed small nibbles which are actually quite tasty. I then went for the “Lusin Hummus (our special recipe of […]
A close to perfect breakfast experience in an old environment: Restaurant Al Bustan @ Sheraton Riyadh Hotel & Towers (10. October 2022)
As disappointing as the Italian place in the Sheraton was, as much I liked the breakfast buffet at the Al Bustan. If you get the “Arabic Breakfast” (135.00 SAR) you are free to roam the entirety of the buffet, and dig in to whatever there is ranging from salmon, halloumi to … … a few […]
Not bad but definitely overpriced Asian food: Restaurant Yokari (9. October 2022)
The Yokari had been recommended to me by a few people, so I decided it was time to give it a try. I started with “edamame with rock salt” (43.00 SAR) since I always have to have edamame when they are served and they were good, as edamame are. Then, I went for the “Crispy […]
