Head to Brute for dinner
Brute Riyadh has a little something for everyone. When you walk in, you can pick from three dining areas. The sprawling outdoor deck area is the way you want to go if the weather is actually good (rare in Riyadh, we know). When it comes to indoor dining, you can pick from a table next to the in-house bar and watch the bartenders work their magic or one near the open kitchen concept and watch the chefs prepare the delicious food (don’t drool just yet though).
