The best breakfast in Riyadh

أفضل فطور بالرياض

From sourdough that sells out by ten to manakish straight off the saj — the places worth waking up for. Every spot here serves a proper morning menu, not a sad croissant display.

من خبز الساوردو اللي يخلص قبل العشر إلى مناقيش طالعة من الصاج — أماكن تستاهل تصحى لها. كل مكان هنا عنده فطور حقيقي، مو كرواسون حزين خلف زجاج.
