All the things we know that are coming to Riyadh’s Laysen Valley

It is set to become a hotspot for F&B and a desirable corporate location…

Laysen Valley development is one of Riyadh’s upcoming and most prominent real estate projects. Located opposite the city’s Diplomatic Quarter, it is a mixed-use complex consisting of over 50 residential, commercial, and retail buildings, including hotels, hospitals, offices of major corporations and government departments, as well as gourmet dining outlets.

Laysen Valley

Here are some of the things that you can check out at Laysen Valley right now and others that you can look forward to.

Now Open

Caffeination

This coffee shop from Al Khobar deserves to be a stop on your list. Find a seat inside and sip on a velvety, house-roasted flat white. Combine your brew with a brownie cookie, and you’ll get yourself a match made in Laysen Valley.

The most recent to open its doors in Laysen Valley is internationally acclaimed, multi-award-winning, contemporary Japanese restaurant Sumosan.

In terms of food and drinks, expect classic dishes such as lobster salad, wagyu beef gyoza, and miso-marinated black cod, to name a few, as well as some new items to be adapted for local tastes without wavering from the Sumosan ethos.

Halepi is, hands down, one of the best Greek restaurants in London, known for its homely and hearty fare, and we definitely can’t wait for its debut in the Kingdom. Two dishes stand out as the most popular: milk-fed lamb shoulder and the taramasalata (a Greek dip). Details are still thin on the ground, but here’s hoping the menu at its upcoming location in Riyadh’s Laysen Valley will offer all the buzz of a Greek holiday… with the sun but without the sea.

A family-run Italian restaurant, Santini was established in 1984 by Gino Santini and is known to be Frank Sinatra’s all-time favourite London restaurant. Today, the restaurant is overseen by his daughter Laura, who brings her own special touch to the business. Santini’s menu celebrates the simplicity of the most authentic Italian cuisine with Venetian influence, using fresh, light flavours of the best ingredients. So, look forward to homemade pasta like spinach and Ricotta ravioli, and dishes such as Venetian-style grilled scallops, poached sea bass with herb and balsamic dressing, and perhaps, their signature traditional Roman apple fritters for dessert. The space at Santini will also be designed by Bishop Design by Paul Bishop.
