Maritime

Maritime is a Michelin Selected seafood restaurant at 7044 Al Kurnaysh Bridge Road in the Ash Shati district on the north Corniche of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It offers contemporary fish and shellfish cooking in a fine-dining setting, a step up in formality from the traditional fish houses of the old city. The Red Sea location supplies the context for the menu, which highlights local species and imported shellfish treated with modern technique. Signature dishes include hamour ceviche, which uses the grouper prized across the Gulf in a cool, citrus-led preparation, and grilled lobster, which anchors the main courses for celebration meals. The restaurant sits in the Michelin four-dollar band, the top price tier, with a meal typically costing about SAR 250-450 (roughly $67-120) per person, and bills can rise with shellfish and shared platters. The dining room is polished and aimed at special occasions, business dinners and couples, with a mood that is refined rather than boisterous. Noise levels are moderate, service is attentive, and dress is smart-casual to smart, with modest clothing expected in Saudi Arabia. Alcohol is not available in the kingdom, so the beverage programme relies on premium mocktails, juices, sparkling water, tea and coffee, and visitors seeking pairings can ask the staff for suggestions. Dinner service is typical, though opening hours are not published and should be confirmed before visiting. Reservations are strongly advisable and can be made through the restaurant's Instagram or Google Maps listing. Booking several days ahead is prudent for Thursday and Friday evenings and for any occasion with a larger party. The north Corniche location is convenient for visitors staying in the waterfront hotels and resorts, and a walk along the promenade before or after dinner is a common companion to the meal. Visitors who want to sample the kitchen at its best often choose the ceviche to start and a shared shellfish main.
