But which one is the best?
If you are looking for a brunch location to visit with your family, friends, or even your girlfriend then I have the top 3 best brunch locations for you!
Let’s explore them in detail.
1. Lunchroom: The Cozy Urban Escape
The name might mention lunch but this place is about more than just lunch. This restaurant originated in Kuwait and found its home in Riyadh’s An Nakheel neighborhood.
Lunchroom has become a popular spot for breakfast and brunch in Riyadh and you will mostly find the place crowded at these times.
I HAD TO WAKE UP AT 7 TO GRAB BREAKFAST.
If you are looking for a heavy breakfast or a healthy brunch you will find it at this spot for sure.
Why It’s Great for Brunch?
I would pick this place for brunch in Riyadh for a number of reasons. The first thing is their ambiance. The interior with grey and brown tones is relaxing and perfect to escape the busy city life of Riyadh.
The slow music adds a touch of elegance but its not always there so make sure to ask for it to double down on your experience.
Their menu has a little of everything so your family and friends will not feel left out. If you want healthy dishes or even something light you will find it on their menu.
Popular Dishes
What’s a brunch without some good food? I have tried many of their dishes but I would recommend their Tunisian Eggs. These aren’t ordinary fried eggs; they are truly flavorful and served with a mix of spices and veggies.
If you love cheese for brunch then you are going to love their Grilled Halloumi. The halloumi is grilled and has a nice char while keeping it melty inside.
And yeah it’s healthy too!
How can I forget about their Creamy Tiramisu? I love sweets and this Tiramisu was just perfect. It’s rich, velvety, and layered with coffee-soaked ladyfingers.
2. French Toast & Co – Impress Your Friends
Well they do have some amazing French toasts but there are many other things along with toasts that you should try.
The things I love most about this place is the all day long brunch and breakfast menu.
So even if you snoozed on your brunch or breakfast you can come here and get those menu items at any time of the day.
IMAGINE HAVING BRUNCH AT 8 PM
The ambiance here is perfect for a quick snap and some Instagram photos. They green and white ambiance with a touch of brown is chill and fun. The café is quiet even when its crowded so you can have those business plans created with your friends here.
Popular Dishes
They have an extensive menu with a variety of options but I am going to touch on the items I enjoyed the most for my brunch here:
Mini Burgers: I wouldn’t share these with anyone. They are perfect for brunch and you can choose between beef, chicken and veggie burgers. You will get three burgers that have a soft bun and delicious filling.
Beetroot Quinoa Salad: For a healthy brunch choose their signature Beetroot Quinoa Salad. This salad has a nice texture thanks to the combination of sweet beetroot and nutty quinoa. It’s healthy too!
Club Sandwiches: If you are feeling more hungry then this perfect handheld sandwich is the perfect choice for you. The club sandwiches are loaded with layers of turkey, ham, and fresh veggies making it a full brunch that will leave you full.
3. La Brasserie: A Lavish Brunch Experience
We already talked about relaxed vibes but how about some luxury brunch experience in Riyadh? If you love top notch ambiance then La Barsserie is your next stop.
This spot is all about mixing it up with delicious Saudi, Asian, and American cuisines all under one roof.
Whether you want to chill indoors surrounded by brown and gold premium décor or soak up the sun on their outdoor patio, this place has the perfect vibe for your weekend hangout.
The big windows on the sides let in natural light which brightens up the whole dining area.
And to add a touch of tradition they have traditional Saudi art on some of the walls because let’s not forget our tradition.
The gold décor makes the overall vibe fancy but chill at the same time.

Those live cooking stations are a total mood.
