Flour & Firewood is a staple for freshly baked bread and gourmet pizza in Riyadh.
Located on Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Road in the Sulaymaniyah district, the restaurant is the perfect location for a cozy and casual family brunch.
Here, most of the dishes on the menu are served with excellent bread, but you can also order a slice of sourdough served with butter and oil.
Brunch lovers who prefer a lighter breakfast selection over pizza and pasta should try the sunny eggs platter served with grilled halloumi and bacon, or the sweet and fluffy French toast.
For starters, we recommend trying the shrimp pil-pil, which pairs surprisingly well with the shiitake mushroom pasta. The creamy and decadent pasta wraps around freshly sliced shiitake mushrooms to create the perfect blend of flavors.
For salad lovers, the salmon salad and the house salad are top-rated dishes. The portions are generous and each dish in the restaurant is served for sharing.

Where We Are Going Today: Offbrief cafe in Diriyah
- Offbrief’s design is colorful and playful. However, some of the seating is not particularly comfortable, and the open windows allowed mosquitos inside, which shortened my stay
Offbrief opened in Diriyah’s creative district, JAX, less than two months ago. The café offers a range of hot and cold drinks alongside a small selection of sweets in a relaxed and welcoming space that’s ideal for both casual meet-ups and quiet solo moments.
The outdoor area is lively — well-suited for social gatherings with friends or family. Inside, the atmosphere is calmer, making it a good option for catching up on a book, working, or for informal meetings.
I was there to work, and ordered an iced matcha latte with banana bread, which cost a total of SR36 — a reasonable price. The banana bread was a highlight, while the matcha latte’s earthy flavor is probably better suited to dedicated matcha fans than to casual drinkers.
Offbrief’s design is colorful and playful. However, some of the seating is not particularly comfortable, and the open windows allowed mosquitos inside, which shortened my stay.
Overall, Offbrief left a positive impression, particularly in terms of ambience, friendly staff, and thoughtful design. While my experience had a few drawbacks, it’s a space I would return to, especially during the daytime and with company, to enjoy the setting in a more relaxed way.
