What type of food can we expect?
Chi SPACCA
Amazed by the Saudi city’s changing and blossoming cultural landscape, Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur Nancy Silverton decided Riyadh was the perfect location for her first Saudi outpost. The menu at Chi SPACCA pivots on a rustic Italian vibe, and is famed for its unique flair for flamed-grilled meats alongside a range of classic and innovative Italian-inspired dishes. With its warm and inviting atmosphere, Chi SPACCA has become a beloved destination for food lovers in the capital.
Gymkhana
Classic, contemporary and colourful. Prepare for a wholesome authentic Indian feast. London's Gymkhana location has held a Michelin-star since 2014, and the highly-ranked, sophisticated Indian dining experience is now open in VIA Riyadh. With deep, rich and aromatic flavours, Gymkhana dishes up a bevvy of traditional Northern Indian fare on intricately patterned china and traditional silver trays.
Madeo Ristorante
Although Madeo is restaurant concept imported directly from America's west coast, the fine-dining Italian has authentic Tuscan roots. Full of Italian heart, this family owned restaurant will help you discover a new perspective on Italian cuisine, made with fresh and premium ingredients and a whole pile of love. Plating fresh seafood and hand-made pasta, Madeo Ristorante will undoubtedly become a popular spot for great vibes and seriously good food.
