Foodies, rejoice!

For the first time ever, the world-renowned Michelin Guide is making its way to Saudi Arabia, putting the Kingdom’s vibrant culinary scene on the global stage.

Known for its coveted star ratings that can elevate a restaurant to international fame, the Guide will spotlight the best of Saudi’s flavors — from bustling Riyadh and Jeddah to the rich cultural cuisines of Khobar, AlUla, and beyond.

Organized in collaboration with Saudi Arabia’s Culinary Arts Commission, this new chapter celebrates the Kingdom’s growing appetite for excellence in food, creativity, and hospitality

According to Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guide, Saudi is brimming with culinary potential: “You have the heritage, you have the dynamism, you have young talents.”
