Appetite

Appetite in Tahalia is another French influenced restaurant.  From the street the diner has a petite French look.  On the inside the chandeliers and décor remind me of a Château in France.

The color scheme is a misty grey on grey broken up with white candles and table coverings.  The book case dividing the dining area from the kitchen provides a talking point - we didn't get around to seeing if the book were real or not.  It's all works together to be quite comfortable.

We started with some breads.  Lovely.  And huge.

The rest of the meal was so delicious that I forgot to take photo's of it.  However, as my dining companion said while enjoying her tasty brown onion soup 'They take time to craft their meals'.

  

We really enjoyed dining at Appetite near the top end of Tahalia St and would happily go back again.

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 :)
