I
have frequented several of the fine dining restaurants in Riyadh but the one the stands “head and
shoulders” above the rest is called Palmeras Mediterranean Cuisine Restaurant.
Riyadh, with it countless restaurants and a variety of fares, introduced its
first Spanish-Saudi restaurant last April. Palmeras, situated in the heart
of Riyadh on Khalid Ibn Yazid Ibn
Muawiyah Al Olaya (+966 11 464 1977), specializes in delicious Mediterranean cuisine
prepared by Spanish Chef Ramon Dios and his assistant, Endre Pocz.
Notably,
from the front door, Palmeras has a distinctive architecture and decor that is state of the art Andalusian design accompanied by it warm
ambiance.
Once
seated, I was ready to eat but Palmeras' menu offers quite a few choice entrées. I finally decided that my pallet was set on
having the Jumbo Shrimp al Josper for the main course and fresh Spinach Salad for my appetizer. My friend Chris decided on
the Green Salad on Cheese Basket as his appetizer and chose the Charcoal Grilled
Lobster as the main course. All food selections
were indeed delicious! The shrimp and lobster was fresh, succulent and grilled
to perfection! You cannot go wrong with the Spanish Sangria. It was the best I
have had in a long time! The portions were just right, so having desert was
tempting but out of the question!
Palmeras serves lunch and
dinner and can accommodate families on the top floor and individuals on the
ground floor.
Palmeras
Mediterranean Cuisine Restaurant; synonymous with a delicious variety of foods and
professional staff who are attentive to your elegant fine dining experience. Give
them a try….your pallet will thank you!
All the best,
GMarie
