Second Cup

If I just want coffee in premises that has a lot of natural light (Family Sections can be very dim) I’ll go to Second Cup, in the Localiser Mall on Tahalia Street.

The staff are friendly and patient as I try to decide which syrup flavour I'll add to my coffee before coming to the final decision that all I really want is simply coffee.

They have the plastic, mass produced tasting cakes and muffins, but the coffee is good and at least I can read my book without needing to take a torch especially if I get a window seat with a view of  a busy Tahalia Street intersection, which is more than possible when I go early in the day.

The booths with a view are roomy enough for two or three people and for privacy you simply draw the large red curtains around - though I rarely do.

If you have gammy legs it would pay to go elsewhere for your beverage.  Though the stairway up is clean, cool, spacious and made of some type of stone, it could be a hassle for the those with stair issues.

Dining Out In Riyadh

Welcome to Dining Out in Riyadh.

A space dedicated to comments and photos of the restaurants and cafe's, take away diners and picnic spots we have eaten at since coming to Riyadh.

One of the more common pass times in Riyadh, other than shopping, is eating out.  Riyadh has numerous café’s and restaurants, supplying food from all over the globe, for expats and locals alike to enjoy.

Hubster and I have a couple of places in Riyadh we go to on a fairly regular basis.   However, as people who enjoy food, we make it our goal to find and try as many dining and coffee establishments as possible where ever we live, to get a real taste of the town.

Is that an excuse to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible?  Probably.

It occurred to me one day that I should add an Dining Out page to my blog.  Why not share our thoughts and experiences on places to eat in Riyadh?

If you think we’re food critics you’d be mistaken.  We don’t have the vocabulary (though Glenn thinks he’s a wordsmith – Whatever!).  I have no idea how to 'identify taste dimensions' or comment on the latest cooking innovation – I just know what tastes good to me, what looks good and how to tell a nice waiter from one having a bad day.  And I take a lot of photo's on my trust point and shoot Canon camera.

If you, for whatever reason, would like to see where we dine, what we sampled and how was the coffee, then Dining Out in Riyadh is the right place to be.

I hope you enjoy s our take on dining out in Riyadh.
Cheers :)
