Indulge in chocolate, cakes and coffee. 


Riyadh is fast becoming a dining destination. The capital is home to celebrity chefs and homegrown concepts. Now, it is welcoming the Parisian café, Lenôtre Paris, to Leysan Valley. So, if you’re a fan of pretty pastries, here’s what you need to know. 

Lenôtre Paris’ boarding can be spotted in Leysan Valley, but the opening date has not yet been confirmed. The logo is currently on the street, hinting at what’s to come. The brand can already be found in France and includes shops, a cooking school, and catering services. 

Lenôtre Paris prides itself on its elegant creations. While we don’t yet know what will be available in the Riyadh outlet, diners are in for a terrific treat if locations in France are anything to go by. The items available include chocolate, macaroons, patisseries and more.
