Known for its iconic macarons, Ladurée now brings its signature flair to a new savoury menu, offering elegant options from breakfast through to dessert. Mornings begin with comfort and craft—eggs florentine, omelette royale, and a locally inspired Middle Eastern omelette. From the shrimp rolls “Terre et Mer,” crab salad, and avocado gazpacho to blinis with smoked salmon or Oscietra caviar, bring French elegance to the table. The sandwich selection includes highlights like the Lobster Roll, the rich Ladurée gourmet burger, and the classic croque-monsieur.

Location: Across all outlets in Saudi Arabia

Check out Phet Phet

A little Thai kitchen (their definition, not ours), Phet Phet lands in the capital from Kuwait where it’s a no-nonsense quaint spot serving great eats, and we think the same ambience carries over to the Riyadh location. Mains on the menu include spicy potato noodles, panang curry (made with homemade red curry paste with coconut milk and peanuts), shrimp cashews, and so much more.

Location: Pure Centre, 3250 Takhassusi Branch Road, An Nakheel، RGHB7984، 7984,

Timing: Mon to Sat 4pm to midnight
