Where We Are Going Today: Patisserie Mo Mashat in Jeddah

  • Cheesecake enthusiasts will find something to love with options including strawberry, blueberry, mango, and even coffee-flavored varieties

If you are searching for a charming cafe that blends French elegance with a modern twist, Patisserie Mo Mashat on Prince Sultan Road, Al-Basateen district, is the place to go.

This newly-opened spot in Jeddah offers an array of artisanal French pastries, cakes and beverages, creating a haven for dessert enthusiasts, whether dining in or taking the treats to-go.

As you step in, the cafe’s welcoming ambiance instantly catches the eye. Large windows fill the space with natural light, while the blend of industrial and other elements — including gold chandeliers and exposed piping — adds a contemporary touch.

Cozy seating with patterned cushions invites one to sit back and enjoy the treats, making it an ideal spot for a casual, comfortable visit.

The star is, of course, the baked goods. The croissants, particularly the crispy pesto mozzarella and almond varieties, are a standout — delicate, flaky, and packed with flavor.

These freshly baked delights embody the essence of French baking, making them a must-try. Alongside the croissants, the mixed-berry Danish and pecan tarts offer a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.

Their cake selection ranges from the rich chocolate hazelnut to the bestselling raspberry mille-feuille. Each cake is carefully crafted with fresh ingredients, offering unique flavors including the refreshing mango tres leches and the indulgent caramel pecan offering.

Cheesecake enthusiasts will find something to love with options including strawberry, blueberry, mango, and even coffee-flavored varieties.

The venue has an impressive drinks menu, with a selection of hot and cold coffees as well as refreshing mojitos. Whether you prefer a simple latte to pair with your pastry or something a little more adventurous like a flavored mojito, there is something for everyone.

What truly distinguishes Patisserie Mo Mashat is not only the high quality of its pastries but also the surprisingly affordable pricing.

Where We Are Going Today: Ghar Restaurant in Jeddah

  • The restaurant’s selection of soups, salads and rice and noodle dishes provides a balance between lighter and heartier options

Located on Jeddah’s Sari Street, Ghar is an Asian fusion concept that draws attention for its cave-inspired interior, with stone-textured walls and lantern-style lighting. The setting leans heavily on luxury and creates a sense of separation from the city’s usual dining scene.

I began with a mix of starters, including the Ghar special gyoza. This comes with two filling options, chicken or shrimp, served alongside a spicy dip that balanced the flavors. The Wagyu skewers were a must try, evenly cooked and retaining both juiciness and tenderness.

The sushi selection is extensive. I tried the crunchy heaven roll with shrimp tempura and sweet spicy sauce, the Wagyu nigiri topped with togarashi sauce, and the crazy roll filled with tempura shrimp and crabstick in a spicy mix. The rolls were well assembled and had good texture, though some were heavy on sauces which reduced the taste of the base ingredients.

The restaurant’s selection of soups, salads and rice and noodle dishes provides a balance between lighter and heartier options. The miso soup sets the tone with bold flavors, making it a fitting start before the main course. 

For mains, I ordered the black-on-black Wagyu filet and the sea bass. The filet was served with the restaurant’s house sauce, while the sea bass came with lemon sauce and mashed potatoes. 

Both dishes were prepared as described, though portion sizes compared to pricing may not suit every diner. If you want a fuller portion, the best options are the curry crunch chicken and Yama lamb, popular choices that combine rice or pasta with protein-focused plates.

Dessert included the San Sebastian cheesecake and boulder date cake, both suitable for sharing and ending the meal on a sweet note. 

A meal for two at Ghar costs around SR500–600 ($133 to $160). For more details, visit @gharjdh.
