Isabel Mayfair to make Middle East debut in Riyadh

The London-based restaurant will be located in Sulaimaniyah.

Riyadh has established itself as a culinary hotspot in Saudi Arabia, attracting world-renowned dining concepts from across the globe. The capital recently welcomed the likes of Mr Chow, SUSHISAMBA and Zuma, and now, it’s preparing to welcome another addition to its gastronomic roster: Isabel Mayfair.

Earlier this year, FACT reported on the impending opening of Isabel Mayfair. Now the location has been confirmed, with the restaurant opening its doors in January in the capital’s Sulaimaniyah district — one of the trendiest spots. Situated near Tahlia Street and close to other popular restaurants such as Beefbar and the FACT award-winning Jon & Vinny’s, Isabel Mayfair is set to bring its unique charm to an already lively locality.

Drawing inspiration from its London outpost, Isabel Riyadh will transport visitors into a Gatsby-esque world of elegance. Think glitzy gold ceilings, brass tones, and dark interiors that exude charm and sophistication. 

When it comes to the menu, Isabel Mayfair promises a blend of Latin and Mediterranean flavours. Highlights include Seabass Ceviche, Stracciatella, Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli, Slow-cooked Beef Short Ribs and many more. For desserts, the options include the likes of Isabel Crepes with chocolate and banana, a Pistachio and Peppercorn Fondant paired with saffron ice cream, and Isabel’s Eton Mess becoming a quick favourite in the Kingdom.

The arrival of Isabel Mayfair in Riyadh marks the brand’s first venture outside of London. Scheduled to open in January 2025, it’s set to make waves in the capital’s dining scene. Meanwhile, Isabel Mayfair will also debut in the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, opening at The Galleria on Al Maryah Island.

So if you’re a foodie or simply looking for an extraordinary dining experience, Isabel Mayfair is ready to deliver. With a stellar reputation and a menu that promises to delight, this restaurant is poised to become a must-visit destination in Riyadh.
