Combining the charm of a European cafe with the refinement of a fine-dining destination, Bianca Bakery & Restaurant is tucked inside the fashionable Via Riyadh complex.
It has quickly become a go-to for diners in the capital seeking both comfort food and elegant presentation. The restaurant is immaculate, the atmosphere warm and the interior beyond stylish.
The menu is impressive, featuring a wide range of offerings from fresh salads and artisanal pizzas to indulgent desserts and classic pastries.
The Bianca Salad is highly rated for its freshness, while the almond croissant proved a star choice. The pizzas — particularly the Margherita — stood out for their flavor and authentic Italian sauce while the steak, although flavorsome, could have been presented a little better. The tiramisu and cheesecake were both exceptional.
There were some niggles, with slow service during peak hours and main courses arriving before drinks and appetizers.
Bianca also operates a bakery that supplies fresh pastries to other venues across Via Riyadh, but with its fantastic desserts, quality coffee and excellent pizzas, it is well worth a visit — whether for a chic breakfast, casual lunch or refined dinner.
