DINING AROUND TOWN
Since we’re nice thoughtful souls, we’ve tried to round up the most distinctive catering companies in Riyadh for you. Don’t forget to invite us when you book’em! Or send the food our way. We don’t mind either way, really. By Johara Almogbel
Tao
Ah, Tao. Really, we shouldn’t even bother putting a description for this place. Their oreo mousse is the stuff of legends, and every food loving Riyadhi has visited the restaurant at some point or another. But we bet you didn’t know they also offered party catering, did you? They do. Tel: +966-11-4653020
Areej Café
Seated catering is fine and all, but what if you wanted something different? Say, a fancy food truck for example? Areej Café introduced a gorgeous food truck at the Food Coma last year, and we’ve got to admit, with things like mushroom burgers and truffle fries, we were impressed with the menu! Prices are per person with a minimum of 20 people, so save this one for when you’ve got deep pockets and a big party. Tel: +966-11-4162990
58 DESTINATION RIYADH MARCH 2015
Lilou
The Bahraini favorite opened a patisserie in Riyadh the last year to much fanfare. They quickly gathered a following and it’s rare to see a wedding now without some form of Lilou’s desserts. Less known, however, is the fact that they also offer dining options. With quinoa salad and avocado on the menu, they’ve continued to put a stamp of originality on their food. The prices are pretty steep though. Tel: 920000746
