Where We Are Going Today: 300F Smokehouse

  • The main course is the highlight, featuring a selection of three premium beef cuts — ribeye, tenderloin, and short ribs, each cooked to perfection and served with a baked potato and a selection of rich sauces

For those looking for a smokehouse experience, 300F Smokehouse in Riyadh offers a curated set menu that showcases the best of slow-cooked, high-quality meats.

With a refined ambiance and a focus on premium ingredients, this spot is a top choice for steak lovers and barbecue enthusiasts.

The set menu is for SR580 ($154) for two and includes a variety of appetizers and mains, starting with the shrimp bites, a crispy and flavorful seafood option, followed by the burnt ends volcano, a smoky and tender bite packed with rich barbecue flavors — which is my absolute favorite.

The caesar salad provides a refreshing contrast before the tacos, offering bold, well-seasoned fillings that add a unique twist to the experience.

The main course is the highlight, featuring a selection of three premium beef cuts — ribeye, tenderloin, and short ribs, each cooked to perfection and served with a baked potato and a selection of rich sauces.

The meat is juicy, tender, and carries a deep smoky aroma that reflects the restaurant’s expertise in slow-cooking techniques.

The meal ends with a decadent brownie, served warm with a rich, gooey texture, making for a decent dessert. Two mocktails are also included, adding a refreshing balance to the meal.

While the flavors, presentation, and quality are undeniably top-notch, the price is on the higher side, making it more of a special-occasion restaurant than an everyday dining spot.

For those looking to experience expertly smoked meats in a sleek and upscale setting, 300F Smokehouse is a solid choice — just be prepared for the premium price tag.

Where We Are Going Today: Lady Finger Slow Bar in Riyadh

Where We Are Going Today: Lady Finger Slow Bar in Riyadh

RIYADH: A comfortable little spot in Al-Mutamarat, Lady Finger Slow Bar has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots in Riyadh. 

The interior is calm and decorated with a maroon, beige, black and white palette with little pops of color here and there.

The space is open and bright without being too harsh, and the outdoor seating underneath the columns is perfect cozy hangout space in the winter.

Their coffee is, of course, fantastic, whether you get black, V60, Americano, or any milk variation — my personal favorite is the flat white because the espresso to milk ratio is just ideal.

Coconut and almond alternative milk options are also available, in addition to lactose-free, low-fat and full fat.

I would also recommend trying the coffee of the day, a daily rotation of different beans for those who love to test out new coffee flavors.

Lady Finger is also definitely famous for their desserts, with people constantly grabbing a cup of tiramisu, Oreo pudding, or banana pudding from their fridge all day as they are coming and going. The banana pudding is a crowd favorite; it is creamy with a balanced sweetness that makes it delicious.

During the day, the cafe also serves a breakfast menu complete with a selection of classic sandwiches, eggs and pancakes, or brioche for a sweet breakfast option.

I have to say the turkey sandwich is just OK; the fillings and the bread were great but I would have liked a different sauce that was less citrusy.

The eggs with sourdough, pancakes, and club sandwich are all solid choices for your breakfast or mid-day meal — and the tuna sandwich is taking up space in my mind so I have to try it the next time I go.

Overall, Lady Finger is a wonderful place to relax, catch up with some friends, and get some work done while enjoying a great cup of coffee and maybe a little something sweet one the side.

I also have to give it to the servers at this spot. They are very friendly and accommodating, and they only enhance the welcoming and comfortable vibe inside the cafe.

Take advantage of this beautiful weather we have been having and grab a seat outside with a cup of hot chocolate topped with mini marshmallows, and decadent chocolate sauce to really feel the warmth of the season.
