After swinging its doors open on May 11, VIA Riyadh has been the talk of town. It’s basically now part of every drawing room conversation, as it promises to be an unmatched gateway to gastronomic delights and retail therapy.

You can divide VIA Riyadh into three unique zones, or four if you add the St. Regis Hotel, but since that’s not open yet, let’s stick to three.

1. The Food

The place is home to an impressive lineup of restaurants that will leave you salivating. Imagine dining at the legendary Les Deux Magots, where sophistication meets indulgence. Craving for a chic café experience? Café Elle is the place to be. And that’s just the beginning! Bianca, Gymkhana, Raoul’s, Wagyumafia, and Via Mercato are all waiting to tempt your palate with their exquisite culinary creations. There’s something to satisfy every craving imaginable in this food lover’s paradise.

2. The Shopping

But Via Riyadh is not just about delectable dishes; it’s a realm of luxury, elegance, and SHOPPING. With outlets for global fashion and luxury brands like Elie Saab, Charles Oudin, Clé, David Webb, Dolce and Gabbana, and Tom Ford, this is the ultimate retail indulgence.

3. The Movies

The screens here are unlike any others in the country! They are basically in a league of their own, with each boasting a unique theme. From one that’s modelled after the Orient Express to one called Tuwaiq that is heavily inspired by local culture and aesthetics, the cinematic experience is one that’s just to be had.

Just an FYI, for a lot of places here, you need to have a prior booking, which you can do on the viariyadh website.
