Mornings in Riyadh have found a new rhythm with the new breakfast experience at Cafe Boulud

Mornings in Riyadh have found a new rhythm—one steeped in French finesse, buttery textures, and quiet luxury. With its refined breakfast experience, Café Boulud Riyadh has redefined the early hours, transforming the first meal of the day into a true occasion. This is not just breakfast. It’s a lifestyle moment.
Nestled in the heart of the city, Café Boulud opens its doors each morning with the unmistakable scent of Paris: golden croissants, espresso crema, warm brioche, and the comforting hush of a space built for slow elegance.
The Art of the Morning Ritual
Step into the calm of Café Boulud and you're met with more than just a menu—you're welcomed into a curated mood. Light pours in across freshly baked pastries and polished ceramics. Whether it’s a quiet solo start or a business meeting with gravitas, the space invites you to begin with grace.
The offerings are both familiar and elevated. From the classic pain au chocolat to an exceptional cheese board curated by renowned Fromager Philippe Caillouet—a recipient of France’s coveted Meilleur Ouvrier de France title—each element feels considered, deliberate, and exquisite.

A Global Menu, A Local Soul
Among the standout dishes is the Café Boulud Omelette, served with velvet hollandaise, roasted potatoes, and a perfectly charred tomato—a Parisian nod with a Riyadh accent. The Saudi Breakfast is a celebration of local flavors: shakshuka, Arabic bread, pickled vegetables, labneh, and foul mudammas prepared with elegance and precision.
For those craving something lighter, The Healthy One balances wellness and flavor with a bright combination of egg white omelette, avocado, feta, grapes, and cashews—simple, clean, and undeniably chic.
And then, there’s the sweet side. Think French Toast made with thick brioche, mascarpone cream, and salted caramel. Or vanilla-scented pancakes, crowned with berries and whipped cream. This is indulgence reimagined for the modern palate.
Every Sip, A Statement
Whether you prefer an intense espresso or a soft herbal infusion, the coffee program delivers with elegance. Each cup is brewed for savoring—not rushing—designed to pair with both the menu and the moment.
It’s this attention to detail that makes Café Boulud more than just a breakfast stop. It’s a space where timing slows, conversations stretch, and elegance quietly unfolds.
The Riyadh Edit Recommends:
Café Boulud Riyadh is where breakfast becomes a ceremony—equal parts Parisian charm and Saudi sophistication. Go for the coffee. Stay for the calm. Return for the ritual.
