Crustacean

This Beverly Hills institution is known for chef-owner Helene An’s signature garlic noodles. But that’s not all there is to Crustacean. The menu at the Euro-Vietnamese fusion restaurant delivers enticing seafood dishes. Look forward to their signature garlic-roasted king crab, steamed truffle sea bream, or half-roasted Maine lobster served with An’s famous garlic noodles, which are positively addictive. Not only is the menu as impressive as it sounds, but the décor is equally alluring, with a koi-filled stream flowing through the dining room.

Emmy Squared Pizza

These game-changer pizzas – the clue is in the name – are cut as squares rather than triangles, but the moreish magic comes from their fluffy focaccia-like dough (aka frico crust) topped with caramelised crispy cheese. Pizza aside, the signature dishes here include the award-winning Le Matt Burger, sandwiches served on pretzel buns, and a selection of salads. This spot definitely has you covered for both screenings of the EURO 2024 matches and tasty food and drink to keep you satisfied as you watch.
Emmy Squared Pizza, Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina, Al Kurnaysh Br Rd, Ash Shati, 7195, 2473, Jeddah 23613, Sun to Thurs noon to midnight, Fri 2pm to midnight & Sat 1pm to midnight. @emmysquaredpizza_sa
Karamna

Karamna at the Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina draws a nightly crowd. The menu zones in on Levantine-Gulf cuisine – think mixed grill platter, a selection of juicy and tender kebabs, chicken tawouk, beef tikkas, white kabsa, and premium lamb chops garnished with roasted raisins and nuts. What’s unique is that you can opt to dine in the main dining room of the restaurant or on the restaurant’s yacht docked in the marina. With superb views of the sea and sky, a meal at Karamna has a distinct holiday dining feel for both residents and visitors alike. Shisha is also offered here.

Mashi No Mashi

Ramen lovers, prepare to slurp a bowl of the good stuff at Mashi No Mashi, Saudi Arabia’s first Wagyu ramen restaurant. Opened in May last year, Mashi No Mashi is the endeavour of self-taught chef and Wagyu evangelist Hisato Hamada. The broths are hearty, the noodles are bouncy and fresh, and the sides (gyoza, tataki, sando and more) are absolutely delicious. Not sure where to start? Read here for our recommendations. Unfortunately, the casual eatery will be closing for good this August, so run, don’t walk.

Obo Beach House

We love this boho-style restaurant with woven accents and plants for its coastal, laid-back vibe that flows through both the interior and exterior. Contemporary Italian seafood and Japanese cuisines are on the menu. It is the perfect spot for dinner, shisha and everything in between. It also has a big screen to watch all the EURO 2024 games on. Add in a beautiful sunset and a little sea breeze, and you have everything you need for an evening by the marina you’ll never forget.

Jeddah’s Instagram scene will be delighted to hear that Instagrammable café EL&N will be opening at the Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina. For anyone who’s visited one of EL&N’s cafés before, you’ll know that EL&N provides a dining experience unlike any other. Think gorgeous pink interiors, iconic floral walls, and innovative all-day food and drinks served in picturesque settings.
Em Sherif Café
This Lebanese eatery is a popular foodie spot in the region, and with good reason. Expect all the usual Levantine favourites, expertly executed, in a pared-back, modern setting. Its menu spans a wide gamut of dishes, including cold and hot mezze. Standouts are its silken hummus and soujouk (beef sausages) with shakshuka. Salads are a similarly strong suit, led by the Middle Eastern classic tabbouleh, while from the oven, the kafta, kissed by fire and drizzled in tahini, is an essential order for any group.
