Originally slated for a February opening, Via Riyadh will officially open to the public on May 12.

The luxury dining and shopping destination will include internationally renowned restaurants including Gymkhana and Les Deux Magots, exclusive cinema experiences, a selection of premium retailers, alongside the Kingdom's first St Regis Hotel.

Built to acknowledge traditional Saudi architecture, with a modern and contemporary lift, Via Riyadh takes significant inspiration from the Salmani design style.

Food lovers can now book a table at a selected number of exclusive restaurants at Via Riyadh ahead of the official opening of the world-class dining destination.

But, which restaurants and cafes you ask? Let's take a look.

Cafés

Les Deux Magots

From Saint-Germain to Saudi, Les Deux Magots brings a quintessential taste of Paris to Riyadh.

Step back in time to the chic literary and artistic era of the 1930s, and experience the authentic old-school Parisian vibes, Les Deux Magots is more than just a cafe.

An elevated cafe experience not to be missed: indulge in the Les Deux Magots classic, rich, thick Chocolat Chaud drinking chocolate, alongside a buttery, swirled croissant or a croque-monsieur.
