Riyadh Travel Guide

Best Restaurants in Riyadh

Travellers will be pleased to know that Riyadh has a great selection of restaurants to choose from and visitors will be spoiled for choice. Middle Eastern fare might dominate the dining out scene, but there has been an increase in international eateries springing up in recent years, creating even more choice for avid foodies. Now, everything from spicy Indian fare to good old American favourites like cheeseburgers and fries are on offer. Head to Tahlia Street for both fine dining and cheap eateries where the bright lights and catchy slogans of fast-food outlets like McDonald''s and KFC line the street too. Many travellers will opt to dine at their hotel restaurant where many of the five-star eateries are owned by celebrity chefs and provide a one of a kind dining experience. Travellers should note that these hotel restaurants have done away with segregation between men and women, as well as the family section but they should not be alarmed if they come across this in other restaurants. Service charge is usually included in restaurant bills but a tip of 10% is the norm.
