Cafe Boulud

Cafe Boulud is a French fine-dining restaurant by chef Daniel Boulud, located in the Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Centre in the Al Olaya district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Daniel Boulud is a French-born chef whose restaurant group is based in New York and whose Cafe Boulud name is associated with refined French cooking in a relaxed setting. The Riyadh venue offers French classics, and the menu is organised around that tradition rather than a single emblematic dish. Specific signature dishes at this branch are not documented here and should be confirmed with the restaurant. The dining room occupies a luxury hotel inside one of the city's best-known towers, so the setting is elegant and quiet by local standards, with attentive service and a sense of occasion suited to business dinners and celebrations. Dress is smart and modest. Alcohol is not served in mainstream Saudi restaurants, so the beverage programme relies on mocktails, specialty coffee, tea and premium soft drinks. The listing notes service from breakfast through dinner, which makes the restaurant useful for hotel guests as well as visitors from elsewhere in Riyadh. Reservations are advised, and booking several days ahead is sensible for dinner, especially from Thursday to Saturday. Prices are high, at roughly SAR 200 to 450 per person, depending on whether a light meal or a multi-course dinner is chosen. Hours should be verified directly with the hotel. Kingdom Centre is a prominent address in Al Olaya with easy access to nearby shopping and offices, so the restaurant is convenient for visitors based in the central business district. It suits travellers seeking a polished French meal in a quiet, upscale room.
