RIYADH: Located in Al-Khayat Center on Al-Andalus Street, Lou is quickly gaining attention for its stripped-down approach to burgers.

With a small menu and focus on quality over quantity, it’s a spot that caters to burger lovers and adventurous foodies alike.

At the heart of the menu are the burgers, made with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. The house special features a juicy, smashed Canadian beef patty topped with melted cheese, crisp vegetables and signature sauce on a soft brioche bun. It’s a straightforward yet satisfying combination that hits all the right notes.

For those seeking something more extravagant, the truffle burger takes the classic up a notch. The addition of creamy Emmental cheese and a rich truffle sauce elevates the experience, delivering a luxurious, earthy flavor.

Chicken lovers are not left out, with options like the classic chicken burger, featuring a crispy fried chicken breast and melted cheese and the spicy chicken burger, which brings just the right amount of heat.

The sides are also worth exploring. The chicken bites, stuffed with gooey cheese and served with a tangy buffalo sauce, standout. These can be paired with a side of crispy fries or even kimchi for a more adventurous twist.

Desserts at Lou shouldn’t be overlooked. The so dark brownie, a rich and sticky treat drizzled with milk and white chocolate, is perfect for chocolate lovers.

Meanwhile, the upside down cheesecake brings a creative touch, featuring a creamy filling paired with a berry jam topping that balances sweetness and tanginess.

With appetizers under SR15 ($4) and burgers under SR40, Lou is also a good choice for those looking to enjoy high-quality burgers without breaking the bank.

While the focus is on the food, the casual setup complements the experience. Lou prioritizes flavor and simplicity, making it a great spot for a quick bite or takeaway.

Where We Are Going Today: Fuwa

Located at Box Park Center in Al-Zahra district, Fuwa has quickly built a reputation as a go-to spot for indulgent pancakes, waffles, and creative drinks, appealing squarely to dessert lovers.

The cafe’s playful character extends to its seating, with an eclectic mix of chairs that adds visual interest and a casual, upbeat atmosphere.

Pancakes are the real stars on the menu. Alongside classic options, Fuwa offers an impressive range of flavors, from raspberry cheesecake, salted caramel and tiramisu to creme brulee, strawberry cheesecake, and pink chocolate. Every stack is fluffy and warm, with generous toppings that make them almost too pretty to eat.

Waffles are equally tempting. The waffle sticks box and waffle sticks cup are designed for easy sharing, while the triple chocolate cake delivers a dense, deeply chocolatey experience, though its sweetness may be best enjoyed with company.

The drinks menu complements the desserts well. Cold options include Fuwa latte and blue coco lemonade. For something more playful, the boba selection adds texture and variety. 

As the temperatures drop, the hot chocolate stands out, topped with a soft, creamy swirl that makes it especially comforting.

While prices may feel slightly higher than average, and the space is better suited to quick visits than long sit-downs, Fuwa delivers on flavor and creativity, making it a worthwhile stop for dessert enthusiasts.
