Angelina

★ 4.3 · 3,288 reviews Riyadh Opened 2025

Parisian patisserie, famous for its hot chocolate

Some queue for an hour at the original Rue de Rivoli address just for the hot chocolate. Angelina's L'Africain is thick, almost pudding-dense, and it's been on the menu since 1903.

The Bujairi Terrace branch, opened in 2025, ships that exact recipe and the tearoom format across from At-Turaif. Most openings nearby are restaurants. This one's a 120-year-old formula in a proper tearoom, unchanged.

    Beautiful restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and very elegant ambiance. The only thing I would improve is the air conditioning, as it felt quite warm even inside the air-conditioned area of the restaurant. That said, the food was very good, and after a few small misunderstandings at the beginning, the team handled everything professionally and corrected the dishes perfectly. Excellent service afterward, delicious food, and overall a very beautiful place to visit.

    I recently visited the restaurant, and overall the experience was mixed. The pineapple juice (SAR 39) was very good. The lamb chops (SAR 225) were disappointing, I asked for Medium rare, and they came out drier and tougher than I expected for medium-rare. I still had them as I was quite hungry and was looking forward to trying the dish. The manager later apologized and mentioned the dish could have been replaced, which I appreciate. Mashed potatoes are served alongside. The crème brûlée (SAR 63) was good overall and I did enjoy it, although the sugar topping was overburnt rather than evenly caramelized. The flat white (SAR 36) was not something I particularly enjoyed. From a details perspective, the menu and pricing suggest a more upscale experience; however, the use of paper placemats felt somewhat inconsistent with that impression. Napkins were also not set on the table initially and were provided upon request. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I would consider coming back, especially for the outdoor seating and drinks.

    I had a wonderful experience at this place. The atmosphere is elegant and relaxing, and the hospitality was truly exceptional. The level of service reflects genuine care for guests’ comfort. Special thanks to our waiter, Alaa—he was very kind, polite, and professional, and made sure the entire experience was complete from start to finish. Definitely worth visiting again..!

    Amazing experience at Angelina – The Garden in Diriyah! 🌿☕ The ambiance is absolutely beautiful and relaxing — it honestly feels like you’re not in the city at all. It’s like discovering a hidden hideout or little haven within the city, perfect for unwinding and enjoying quality time. The hot chocolate is highly recommended — it tastes very rich and truly high quality, one of the best I’ve had! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the overall experience felt elegant yet very comfortable. A very special mention to my kabayan 🇵🇭 for being incredibly accommodating, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. Your warm hospitality made our experience even more memorable. It’s always heartwarming to meet someone who makes you feel so welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone looking for amazing desserts, premium drinks, and excellent service in Bujairi Terrace. Definitely coming back!
