Laysen Valley & U Walk
ليسن فالي ويو ووك
The open-air dining rows where west and north Riyadh actually go on weeknights — Greek by the fountains, steak-frites under the arcades, and coffee to walk with. Patio weather turns both into the city's living room.
صفوف المطاعم المفتوحة اللي يروح لها غرب وشمال الرياض فعليًا أيام الأسبوع — يوناني عند النوافير، وستيك فريت تحت الممرات، وقهوة تمشي معك. وقت الأجواء الحلوة يتحولون لصالة جلوس المدينة.
10 places
- Halepi — Laysen Valley · Greek
The family-run Greek loved from London to Riyadh — meze, grills and the famous milk-fed lamb. Warm service that remembers you by your second visit. - MLLE — Laysen Valley · Lebanese
Twisted Lebanese under a huge indoor tree — classics with subtle surprises that mostly land. The shish tawook is the safe, correct answer. - Caffeination — Laysen Valley · Specialty Coffee
An indoor-outdoor café built like a big shared living room. Proper filter coffee, and sandwiches good enough to quietly become lunch. - NAC — Laysen Valley · French-Mediterranean
North Audley Cantine's Franco-Mediterranean all-day dining in a slick Laysen corner — polished plates without the stiffness. - OLÉ — U Walk · All-Day Breakfast
All-day breakfast, brunch and specialty coffee on the U Walk strip from 6am to 1am. When in doubt, it's open. - Sarabeth's — U Walk · American Brunch
The NYC brunch institution's U Walk branch — famously fluffy pancakes, proper preserves and eggs done right. - Draft Café — U Walk · Specialty Coffee
Specialty coffee with a creative-shop twist — pastries, collectibles and rotating pop-ups by U Walk's Gate 8. You'll leave with something you didn't plan to buy. - OXAR Prime Steakhall — The Esplanade · Steakhouse
A Viking-styled steakhall doing Black Angus cuts and burgers until 1:30 in the morning. Theatrical, meaty, and unapologetic about both. - Wafi Gourmet — The Esplanade · Lebanese
Dubai's famous Lebanese deli-restaurant — mezze, grills, and a shop so you can take the good stuff home. Outdoor tables plus shisha for the long haul. - Namu — The Esplanade · Korean BBQ
Riyadh's first serious Korean BBQ, from chef Akira Back — table grills, banchan and late hours at The Esplanade. Bring people; this is not a solo sport.
