Where to eat in Jeddah

Jeddah eats well: the Saudi broast institution, Red Sea seafood, Lebanese and Hijazi kitchens. Real places, honest notes.

Photos for Jeddah are still on their way. Every listing below is real.

The institutions

Al Baik

Multiple · broast

THE Saudi institution, born in Jeddah: the broast chicken, the garlic sauce, the queues. Eat it at least once - it's a pilgrimage.

Al Tazaj

Multiple · charcoal chicken

The charcoal-grilled chicken chain: the tahina, the fresh bread. The local rival to Al Baik.

Sit-down

Byblos

Corniche · Lebanese

The grand Lebanese room on the water: mezze, grills, the Red Sea view. The occasion dinner.

Al Shurfa

Al-Balad area · Hijazi/Arabic

Traditional Hijazi cooking in a heritage setting: saleeg, mabshour, the old Jeddah flavours.
