A slice of French culinary heritage has landed in Riyadh. Lenôtre Paris, the renowned artisanal pastry house, has opened its first Saudi location in Laysen Valley, with another on the way in Lumière Centre. Known for refined presentation and technique, the brand brings with it decades of pastry expertise, now available to sample in the Kingdom.
Originally founded in 1957 by Gaston and Colette Lenôtre, the concept has long stood as a symbol of French gastronomy. Their first boutique opened near Normandy, and in 1971, the Lenôtre School was established in Plaisir (Yvelines) to share culinary excellence with future generations.

Today, the brand operates internationally, from Berlin to China — and now, Riyadh.
At Lenôtre Paris in Riyadh, the menu includes a full range of sweet and savoury options. Visitors can enjoy traditional French pastries like éclairs, millefeuilles, meringues and flans.
On the savoury side, expect classics such as quiches, fresh salads, and light sandwiches, all presented with signature finesse and in a variety of flavour combinations.

The Laysen Valley location mirrors the upscale reputation of the brand. With a monochrome colour scheme, gold accents, and beige seating, the interior is both elegant and relaxed. Large windows flood the space with natural light, while a display counter invites guests to browse the selection of desserts.
Adding to the ambiance, live music takes place every Wednesday and Friday evening from 8 PM to 11 PM. With its debut in Saudi Arabia, Lenôtre Paris brings a taste of France’s celebrated patisserie tradition to a new audience.
