Magnolia Bakery BANANA CREAM PIE
There aren’t a lot of American pies in the city, so when we discovered Magnolia’s banana cream we were over the moon. Dear reader, you do not understand the level on which our office is obsessed with this creamy sugary healthy (because bananas, doh) confection. Bring on more pies, Riyadh! We ain’t sayin’ no.
Lusin
COTTON CANDY ROSEWATER ICE CREAM
Armenian cuisine set its cornerstone in Riyadh with Lusin, beloved and craved by all. Which is why we think there’s no better way to teleport you to Yerevan than their cotton candy rosewater ice cream. Succulent, with the perfect blend of sweet and contrasting textures, it’s hardpressed to find a hater for this one.

El Chico APPLE PIE
Of all our finds in the city, El Chico’s apple pie is our favorite. Served steaming hot in a sizzling pan, it’s also one of the better apple pies and it’s a perfect mix for the restaurant’s texmex cuisine. Location: KIng Abdul Aziz Rd. elchicorestaurant
Kosebasi
DONDURMALI IRMIK
A hot semolina dessert topped with pistachios and ice cream? Take our money! Take all of it! Yes, Turkish soap operas are what started
the craze for all things post-Ottoman in the GCC, but it’s the food that made that love stick like superglue in our stomachs- er, we mean hearts.
Location: Tahlia St, Arcadia Plaza kosebasiarabia
