Riyadh’s culinary landscape is about to welcome a star player: Isabel Mayfair, the celebrated London eatery, is making its international debut in the Saudi capital. Known for its elegant 1930s-inspired charm and delectable fusion of Latin and Mediterranean cuisine, this restaurant is poised to become the city’s hottest dining destination.

 

Isabel Mayfair first opened its doors in 2017 in London’s prestigious Mayfair district. Created by acclaimed restaurateur Juan Santa Cruz, the space is a heartfelt homage to his Argentinean grandmother, Isabel. Every corner of the London venue exudes vintage opulence, with luxurious red velvet seating, sparkling chandeliers, and an ambiance reminiscent of Gatsby-era grandeur.

Now, Riyadh diners can look forward to experiencing this same glamor — if not more — when Isabel Mayfair opens in the upscale As Sulimaniyah district.

 

Slated to open in January 2025, Isabel Mayfair Riyadh promises an unforgettable blend of style and flavors. While the full details of the interior design remain under wraps, expect a setting worthy of your best outfit — perfect for Instagram moments or sophisticated celebrations.

If the London menu is any indication, Riyadh’s diners are in for a treat. Highlights may include delicate prawn crudo, savory veal ragù gnocchi, grilled zucchini with mint and lemon, and Juan Santa Cruz’s legendary blackened chicken. The dessert menu is equally tantalizing, featuring favorites like sticky toffee pudding and a divine pear tarte tatin.

 

While an exact launch date is yet to be announced, Isabel Mayfair Riyadh is on track to open its doors in January 2025. Get ready to indulge in an unparalleled dining experience where vintage glamour meets modern cuisine.
