Dubai favourite La Maison Ani is coming to Riyadh
Chef Izu’s effortlessly chic French-Mediterranean brasserie is officially Riyadh-bound, and it’s set to be one of the most talked-about openings of 2026
Riyadh’s dining scene is on a serious roll, and the capital’s next big-name opening has now been confirmed.
La Maison Ani, the sophisticated French-Mediterranean concept by Fundamental Hospitality and renowned Chef Izu Ani, will make its Saudi Arabian debut in Q4 2026 – and yes, it’s already giving future reservation panic.
If the name rings a bell, it’s because La Maison Ani has become a standout across the region, establishing itself as one of the most beloved “Made in Dubai” exports.

The announcement comes as part of the brand’s biggest growth phase yet, with new openings also planned for Mall of the Emirates in Dubai and Métropole Monte-Carlo in Monaco.
The Riyadh launch coincides with La Maison Ani entering a pivotal new era, following incredible success in Dubai, a strong debut in Doha, and major buzz in London.
The brand has gained a loyal following since debuting in 2022, with an all-day dining atmosphere that works whether you’re dropping in for a quick pastry or making brunch your entire plan.
It’s also the brainchild of Chef Izu, known for his modern take on fusion cuisine and his knack for creating restaurants that feel both refined and relaxed. Think the kind of places you dress up for, but never feel overdressed in.
So, what can we expect from La Maison Ani in Riyadh?
If it takes cues from the Dubai brasserie, we’re in for a relaxed, sun-soaked French-Mediterranean menu served from breakfast through to dinner, paired with an effortlessly elegant atmosphere.
Here’s hoping there will also be a delightful boulangerie and patisserie element to look forward to, meaning freshly baked artisan breads, buttery viennoiseries, and beautiful pastries, all best enjoyed with organic-roast coffee before moving on to Mediterranean-inspired dishes later in the day.
In Dubai, the restaurant even offers views of the Dubai Fountain from its garden – so while Riyadh won’t be copying that exact backdrop, expect the same stylish energy, design-led vibe, and the kind of address you’ll want in your group chat rotation.
While we do not yet know the exact location in Riyadh, watch this space for more updates.
Bottom line? Riyadh foodies, clear your calendars. La Maison Ani is on its way, and it’s about to be a moment.
