Dining Out

Equal to their passion for shopping, the people of Jeddah like to dine out.  The time was when eating outside the home in Jeddah was more experimental and a test of one's constitution than any gastronomic extravaganza, but today nothing could be further from the truth.  Each of the vast number of different cultures mingling in the city has brought with them a demand for their home country dishes with the result of a smorgasbord of choice to excite even the most jaded of palates.  There are hundreds of restaurants, ranging from the elegant to the casual, the budget-blowing to those that only just manage to use up those piles of loose change.  Try a Brazilian skewer banquet, an Italian pasta feast, an American burger fully loaded, an Afghani rose bukhari, a Pakistani nihari, a Lebanese shiwarma, English fish and chips, a Thai Green Curry … pity those on just a two year contract as they will never have the time to enjoy all of the culinary corners that the city has to offer. For a business lunch or dinner, snack on the run, Friday brunch or a special night out, Jeddah's eateries offer memorable dining experiences to suit all occasions - some for their locations, others their décor or their views - the really special ones combine all three. 

And should you wish to entertain at home, many of these hotels and restaurants will recreate their menus (and virtually anything of your choice), even supply you with the chef and waiters, leaving you to enjoy the company of your guests. 

So, are you a health nut or a glutton?  Vegetarian or confirmed carnivore?  Have you a mouse-like appetite or does it take five courses to satiate you?  There is something for everyone … click on the links on the left.

The Dining Out Guide's primary objective is to let you know what you can eat and where to eat it in Jeddah.  With that in mind, the section is part review and part directory.  We would be delighted to receive any reviews and location details of any restaurants that have not been included - send an email!
