The world of Fauchon had always been known in the world of luxury. It is not merely a gourmet food boutique. It is a place where your senses can experience the upgrade in food from desserts, pastries, Fauchon is an old school since 1880 where the first boutique opened in Paris.. It's an iconic landmark in gastronomy. So it's opening in Riyadh brought me a little sense of joy because hopefully I wanted to experience this gourmet touch, something that lacks deeply in the market of Saudi Arabia.
I visited during the first opening month of the restaurant/cafe on Tahlia Street. All what FAUCHON has to offer is now showcased at this location: catering and a patisserie, a gourmet food store and gift shop, chocolates, confectionery and tea, etc. It features a café with a coffee bar counter, where the barista prepares all drinks infront of you. The place also have special private rooms that can fit up to 6 people.
The place was crowded mostly with ladies, music was playing in the background ( something new in the F&B in Riyadh). It is a place to experience luxury and have a little gathering with your friends.
It is a must try in Riyadh as It is def. different of what is in the market.
