Laysen Valley in Umm Al Hamam Al Gharbi is one of Riyadh's best-known dining destinations. These four restaurants there take bookings on Mila, each with its own style: French, Italian, Saudi and a breakfast cafe. The booking value comes off the restaurant bill, and you can add cake and flowers to the same booking.
- Bagatelle. French-Mediterranean, inspired by the festive spirit of the South of France. Indoor and outdoor seating for 2 to 8; adults only (18+); from 75 SAR per guest. Book Bagatelle
- Santini. The Riyadh branch of the London Italian restaurant founded in 1984; truffle mushroom lasagna, crab linguine and vegan options. Indoor and outdoor seating for 2 to 8; adults only (18+); from 75 SAR per guest. Book Santini
- Wadi. Modern Saudi cooking inspired by AlUla, with an all-white interior, old Saudi photo prints and a terrace. Indoor and outdoor seating for 2 to 8; adults only (18+); from 75 SAR per guest. Book Wadi
- Nooa. A South African cafe and bakery (Naturally Out Of Africa) that started in Riyadh; good for a birthday breakfast. Indoor and outdoor seating for 2 to 8; adults only (18+); from 50 SAR per guest. Book Nooa
Which one? Birthday or anniversary dinner: Bagatelle or Santini. Saudi food: Wadi. Breakfast: Nooa. All four have outdoor seating.
Good to know: the booking value comes off the bill. Weekends book up first and add-ons need preparation time, so book early.
