1. Lusin
If you are looking for romantic vibes in Riyadh then this place is a total charmer. The ambiance here is ideal for a nice laid-back and intimate dinner or lunch.
The warm and dim lighting makes the place feel inviting and relaxed while the dark wood furniture adds a touch of luxury to the dining area.
It’s the kind of place where you feel fancy and comfortable at the same time. Well, it feels more like you are in a scene from a classic love story.
DID I FORGET?
That classic music in the background makes the experience more romantic and fun
Menu Options
So you know the ambiance but if that isn’t paired with good food your whole romantic dinner will go to waste.
BUT
Lusin doesn’t mess around. They’ve got all the hits—think Smoked Mutabal, creamy Hummus, and crispy Sujuc Rolls that’ll have you fighting over the last bite (in the cutest way, of course).
If you are feeling a bit more hungry then their Armenian stuffed lamb with spiced rice and nuts is a showstopper.
And the baked food especially the Traditional Armenian Soborak that is filled with cheese will leave you surprised.
2. Yauatcha Riyadh
Let me tell you this is probably the most sophisticated restaurant on our list and is totally worth a try.
By day, this place seems modern with those huge windows flooding the place with light.
THEY HAVE WINDOWS IN THE CEILING!
Yup, forget about the boring ceilings and watch the clear sky right over your head. The minimalist décor with the pink trees adds a touch of health and calmness to the dining area.
BUT WHEN THE SUN SETS!
Yauatcha turns into a whole new mood. The low dramatic lighting and that night sky over your head make the restaurant more mysterious and romantic.
This is the kind of place where you will expect someone to propose you (just saying!).
Food Variety
Where do I even begin? They have everything you can think of if your partner likes fresh and light food then the duck salad or the truffle mushroom salad will impress them.
My favorites here are the Dim Sum. Whether it’s the Har Gau (classic prawn dumplings), the Chilean sea bass dumplings, or the vegan options like the Edamame Truffle Dumpling, everything is so good you’ll probably order more than you need.
Oh, if you have some space left which I highly doubt you will then try the Smoked Wagyu Beef and you will not regret it.
3. The Globe Riyadh
Now if your payday is around the corner or just passed then your pocket might just be able to afford this place. Everyone in Riyadh knows about The Globe.
It is easily the most iconic dining experience that you will get in Riyadh. You are literally dining inside a massive glass dome with a panoramic view of Riyadh city.
You can see those tall buildings below you and it’s more like you are floating above the city.
Did I mention it?
That live music show makes the whole experience much better and the red ambiance and carpets add a touch of royalty to the overall vibe.
Food Options
The food here is all European inspired and you will get all your favorites here. For starters, you have things like Crispy Spring Rolls and Edamame Hummus.
But that’s not it!
You will get many other options but I will let you two couples decide that.
My favorites for main dishes are:
- Teriyaki Chicken
- Ramen Noodle Soup
- California Rolls
- Spicy Tuna Rolls
- Sushi Burrito
- Bento Boxes
To end your meal on a good note I would recommend going with Matcha Ice Cream, chewy Mochi Ice Cream, or their dreamy Green Tea Cheesecake.
A perfectly sweet ending to a memorable night.
4. Loris KSA
I talked about this restaurant when I mentioned the best Lebanese restaurants in Riyadh and we will talk about it again today.
This is my favorite Lebanese restaurant and a perfect spot for a romantic lunch or dinner in Riyadh. They have successfully learned the art of blending modern and traditional together.
When you enter the first thing you will notice is how warm and inviting the overall vibe feels here. The use of natural materials like wood and rattan gives this place a rustic and aesthetic look.
Those big windows let in a ton of natural light and brighten up the whole dining area.
BUT AT NIGHT?
The soft lights and the rustic vibes with low lights make the whole place scream ROMANTIC!
And if you love some AL Fresco dining then their outdoor seating is perfect but I wouldn’t recommend outdoors for an intimate dinner.
Menu Options
Ah! It took me like 30 minutes to decide on what I wanted to eat because the options were endless.
For appetizers, you get different flavors of Makdous Eggplant and some creamy Labneh Balls which are sweet, tangy, and a nice start to the dinner.
If your partner is health conscious then the salad menu is for them. With more than 10 salad options they won’t feel left out here.
They’ve got Hummus in flavors you didn’t even know you needed (I wish I could try all of them).
For the main dishes you will get some Lebanese options like the BATATA (aka Lebanese-style potatoes) and the Kebbe Sajieh which will make you do that little happy dance.
These items were just the tip of the iceberg and you will get tons of other options too!
This spot is an absolute must for your next couples’ night out!
5. Entrecôte Café de Paris
This place is serving some serious date night vibes which will make you say “WOW”.
Located on the 21st floor of the iconic Al Faisaliah Tower, this spot is all about bringing drama (the good kind). You have got those huge windows giving you a bird’s eye view of the city that is honestly breathtaking, especially at night when the city lights are sparkling like a scene out of a film.
WHAT ABOUT THE DÉCOR?
I can describe it in only one word and that is CLASSY!
Ornate chandeliers, velvet chairs, and this timeless, upscale vibe that makes you feel like a royal guest in Riyadh.
You sure are going to impress your partner when you bring them here but don’t forget to bring your wallets full because it won’t be cheap.
Food Options
Entrecote Café De Paris is sticking to a one-menu formula and they offer the same menu worldwide. They are known for their delicious, tender, and juicy steaks and they know how to do them right!
Whether you’re into the tender, buttery taste of the Tenderloin Filet or you’re ready to try out their ultimate Wagyu Steak 9+ (hello, fancy!), they’ve got something for every kind of steak lover.
And that Café de Paris sauce? It’s iconic for a reason.
Rich, creamy, and absolutely divine on every bite.
If you are the kind of person who ends their meal with a nice dessert then I would recommend going for the Chocolate Fondant – Served with Vanilla IceCream.
You will love it and if you don’t then I will pay for that one.
Conclusion
When it comes to romantic restaurants in Riyadh these five places will never disappoint you. For every special occasion in Riyadh, these places will have something unique to offer whether it’s the view of Riyadh city or those fancy dim lights you will leave impressed.
So make your reservations today and get ready for a night of love, laughter, and seriously good eats!
