A taste of Paris in Saudi Arabia
Fans of Le Relais de l’Entrecôte no longer need to wait in long queues in Paris or Geneva to enjoy its legendary steak and sauce. The iconic French restaurant now boasts two locations in Saudi Arabia, in Riyadh and Jeddah.
Unlike the often hour-long waits in Paris, diners in Riyadh and Jeddah can enjoy the same exceptional quality without the hassle of queuing.
The Saudi branches faithfully replicate the restaurant's famous menu, featuring perfectly cooked entrecôte steak, the signature secret sauce, and crispy French fries served in two rounds.
While the food and service match the high standards of the original locations, the Saudi branches have adapted to local customs. Notably, the menu is alcohol-free, in line with the country's regulations, but this adjustment does nothing to diminish the overall experience.
Le Relais de l’Entrecôte’s expansion into Saudi Arabia is part of the Kingdom’s growing culinary scene, offering locals and expatriates a chance to savor an authentic taste of Paris.
With its elegant ambiance and iconic dishes, the restaurant has quickly become a favorite for those seeking a unique dining experience in Riyadh and Jeddah.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of the original or discovering it for the first time, Le Relais de l’Entrecôte in Saudi Arabia delivers the same Parisian charm—minus the queue.

In a post published Monday on Truth Social, President Donald Trump issued what amounts to a sweeping diplomatic ultimatum to the Arab and Muslim world: normalise with Israel through the Abraham Accords, or forfeit any role in the Iran agreement he is working to finalise.
