Julian Unveiled: Riyadh’s Most Exclusive Table

The One-Table Concept Redefining Private Dining in Riyadh

In a city where culinary sophistication continues to evolve at pace with its luxury landscape, the debut of Julian—an exclusive dining concept nestled within Café Boulud at the Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh—marks a new high point in the capital’s gastronomic identity.

Hidden behind a curved bronze door within the famed restaurant, Julian is not simply a private dining room—it’s a discreet, design-forward experience that blends intimacy, artistry, and haute hospitality. The concept redefines what it means to gather, to taste, and to savor.

An Invitation-Only Culinary Chamber

Julian was created for those who understand that luxury is not always loud. With just one table, one entrance, and one menu per evening, the experience is deeply personal and inherently exclusive. The space was conceived to host elevated gatherings—whether for private business dinners, high-profile guests, or curated celebrations—with absolute discretion and immaculate detail.

Its interiors reflect refined restraint: sleek bronze finishes, tailored lighting, and minimalist décor that echoes the quiet power of modern Saudi style. Designed to disappear into the architecture of Café Boulud, Julian is as much about mood as it is about menu.

The Menu as Masterpiece

The dining journey within Julian is helmed by the award-winning culinary team behind Café Boulud, offering seasonal menus crafted around premium ingredients and classical French techniques—reinterpreted through a local lens. Dishes are plated with poetic precision, wines are selected with discretion, and service moves like choreography.

Each seating is an event in itself—pre-arranged, bespoke, and tailored to the guests' preferences. The result is a gastronomic encounter that is as personal as it is theatrical, where every course unfolds like a conversation.

The Boulud Legacy, Reimagined in Riyadh

At the core of Café Boulud and its newest concept, Julian, is the culinary philosophy of Chef Daniel Boulud, one of the most celebrated French chefs in the world, whose flagship restaurant in New York holds two Michelin stars. Known for blending the timeless elegance of French cuisine with modern global influences, Boulud has long championed the art of personalized dining—making Julian a natural evolution of his vision.

Bringing that legacy to Riyadh is Chef Thierry Motsch, a Boulud protégé who has trained in some of the world’s most prestigious kitchens. With his deep understanding of French gastronomy and his refined sensitivity to local tastes, Motsch leads the culinary direction at Café Boulud Riyadh with grace and exacting skill. Under his guidance, Julian delivers an experience that feels both deeply classic and uniquely current—true to Boulud’s legacy and tailored to Riyadh’s growing appetite for world-class hospitality.

A Destination Within a Destination

With JULIÁN, the Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh further cements its role as the city’s luxury leader in dining. It’s not just a hotel restaurant—it's now home to one of the most exclusive culinary concepts in the Kingdom.

For tastemakers, brand hosts, and elite guests seeking a space that matches their level of discernment, Julian offers the rarest combination: privacy, perfection, and a profound sense of occasion.
