Café Elle - Via Riad No reclamado

I recently tried their Afternoon Tea, and it was a delightful experience. The Afternoon Tea starts with a pink welcome drink flavored with a unique flavor of rosemary and basil, which was very tasty. We then had the opportunity to choose from six different types of tea, with the help of our waiter Natasha in making our selection. After that, they brought out two types of scones – one plain and one with dates – along with two kinds of jam, honey, and butter. Following this, they presented a three-tiered tray. The first tier featured five varieties of mini desserts and small cakes, all of which were delicious. The second tier contained three types of savory snacks, each with two pieces. The third tier contained four sandwiches (tuna, chicken, egg salad, labneh with cucumber and mint), the sandwiches were okay, with the chicken being the standout. Finally, they brought really yummy and wonderfully flavorful mini choux pastries with various fillings (dates, coffee, berries, pistachio), the best ones were the coffee and dates. The mini choux were light and not too sweet. Before leaving, they kindly provided us with cookies shaped like colorful dresses. I must commend the service, which I rate 10/10. A big shoutout to Natasha, our waitress. She was so friendly and made our experience truly outstanding! Additionally, the chef herself, Walaa Sonbul, came to inquire about our experience and gather feedback, which was a nice touch, it showed she really cared (indicating it was made with love) We encountered an issue with our reservation, and was canceled the same day of our reservation. They contacted us the apologized for this issue. However, the staff promptly apologized and offered us a discount during our next visit, which we appreciated. The restaurant itself is quite small and ordinary, but the overall experience was lovely. I hope to return for another enjoyable visit soon. The Afternoon Tea is available daily from 4 pm to 8 pm. It would be better if they started serving it earlier to avoid the traffic. The price per person for Afternoon Tea is 250 riyals, and you leave feeling pleasantly satisfied after indulging in the offerings. I highly recommend it whenever you want to treat yourself.

The place atmosphere is not bad, but not the best. Seating outside patio has 100SAR minimum charge, whereas inside have no minimum. The food and service are very good and the staff are welcoming. The dessert signature was very good and they have excellent desserts collection.

Thanks so much for your service, Lorena ❤️🥰 I really appreciate this afternoon with my friend here, your recomendation for the sides was so, so tasty. Definitely, I will return and try the High Tea ☕️🍰🧁

The sweets were delicious, and the service provided by the waiters was exceptional. They were welcoming, friendly, and made sure I had a wonderful time. Highly recommended!🙏🏻💖

A coffee shop. The sweets are not delicious and are heavy on the stomach. I did not like the coffee. As a connoisseur of specialized coffee, the prices are very exaggerated. I do not recommend visiting.
