I had been to this restaurant before with a large group of friends for breakfast. It was great! Delicious fare and good variety. This time was in the afternoon for refreshments and cake. Order the pistachio-pomegranate cake and apple tart a la mode. Both were beautiful. Staff very attentive and friendly.
I have been to this French Restaurant & Pastry Shop twice - it was a superb experience everytime. I loved their crunchy chicken sliders and their chicken tendors. Lentil & pumpkin soup is full-flavoured and really loved it. I would recommend this resto for everyone who loves fine dining..a must try!!!Kudos to all the staff members. They were all customer- focused. You will really feel welcomed🥰
Lovely experience.. our waiter was very friendly and nice (his name was amal👍🏻)
Nice family atmosphere. Food quality and portions are way below good. Taste and quality need big improvements. Veal and salmon dishes are very dry. Bottom line you will not get what you are paying for.
One of the best breakfast places ever.. 😍Can’t stress how much I like their pancakes 🥞.And the Eggs Vol-au-vent are super yummy.As well as the scrambled eggs sliders. 🤩😭The food literally warms up your heart.
Nice placeNice personnel specifically Jeffrey the supervisorI will come again
Very nice but expensive. Many of the cakes on display have nuts in them so this would be a problem for people with a nut allergy.
Nice place and atmosphere highly recommended.The prices are 15% above what it should be. Service is little bit above average, staff needs a bit more training. Hot Coffee is not recommended at all.
Great food and ambiance. I have ordered the pistachio cake many times. But last week I ordered for my sister’s birthday and the cake was a disaster. It was all heavy cream, with thin layer of sponge. It should have been the other way around.When I complained to the store manager. (JOE) he handled my complaint badly and showed me bad attitude, instead of solving my issue.
Pomegranate pistachio is niceBut the place is pricey
Place is amazing , drinks are so delicious, and Abdulaziz very kind person and I will come over and over ❤️
Beautiful place. International cuisine. Very elegant and good to invite special guests and parties
Nice place but too crowding , maybe because they are simulating the french style... their espresso is kind of sour ,,, sweets are good and spanish latte was ok according to my friend ..good luck
The cake was good I had to wait for my order 45 min that was too long I would recommend if you are in rush do not give them a visit .
They seem to have shortage on resources as we had been very long awaiting to be served. The Mates like do not want to work as they are very lazy and look sad. Food is perfect and taste very good
Perfect sweets.. specially the French toast.. pomegranate cake is really yummy too.. Great roof seating area, but sadly its closed most of the time.. what a waste!A great spot for breakfast or brunch..Coffee is Ok but could be better..
Top drawer patisserie. Very decadent desserts, so recommended for those with a very sweet tooth.For more info, photos and videos on Saudi dinning and lifestyle go follow @thisismysaudi on Instagram 😊
Verdict: Subject to further assessment of quality. Do not come for occasions but worth experiencing (negatively, in my case). Overpriced and somewhat unprofessional. Time for some brutal honesty: We ordered the bread pudding (and that is how one spells “bread pudding”, if anyone wants to know) and a berry tart. My dissatisfaction was augmented by the strange comments of the service, and the two desserts were far less than satisfactory. I was told how amazing this place (was) by my sister. We came to make my mother happy after she had a difficult time with her program (PhD). This place was a mistake. I asked for the bill first and, after, informed our waiter of certain issues that should be fixed for later service and were immediately told that cancellations are only accepted if we do not eat the food. We requested no cancellations, however, and I did not bring my mother here to save money. I wish they had seen that. The statement made regarding the bread pudding was out of genuine concern, because undercooked food is... well, unhealthy and unpopular. I never implied I wanted a cancellation or discount (because my mother was there). The response we received (from the manager via our waiter), unsolicited and in front of my mother was insensitive and indicative of a decline in reception, management and service. I should have returned the unsatisfactory desserts they gave me, and would have under other circumstances, but I was trying to avoid making a big deal out of consideration for my mother. Strangely enough, our waiter was honest and admitted that the bread pudding recipe had, in fact, changed.As for cleanliness, the place is clean (with one or two small issues/stains if you are on the balcony on the third floor). The restroom is well-scented (lavender?), but men who are seated with family upstairs must go all the way down to the ground floor to find the restroom near the exit. That is in poor taste. The hot water is room temp here, and so is the cold. I found water on the floor in the restroom I went to. This is not acceptable for the quality Madeleine seeks to project.Bread pudding: 5/10The best part was the top. Just like a muffin, it’s the best part, but it’s not your traditional bread pudding, and therein is the fatal flaw. Once you finish the top of the their muffin/bread pudding hybrid (in which WE top it off with caramel because we customers all claim to inherently understand how the chef intended for this to taste), you begin to eat the lower layers and descend (PUN INTENDED) into lower echelons of half-baked, almost gelatinous goo. The caramel had to be poured multiple times to add flavor to these layers but did not help the texture. This is essentially a half-baked muffin whose maker forgot to mix in caramel and was too lazy to top it afterward. The ice cream on the side is the only saving grace.Tart: 1/10This was tasteless, stale and simply terrible. The base of a tart should be crisp and thin with a soft center. This was a tough, stale biscuit. Because it was stale, it had little flavor. The cream is limited and not compatible with the overall flavor of the tart. Cheap is a term that comes to mind. The berries may be the only good thing here (cranberries are a plus, hence 1 instead of 0/10).Rosa latte: 4/10Too sweet and far too much flavoring. The rose flavoring overpowers the coffee and turns it into some kind of candy drink. Unless you have a sweet tooth for artificial flavors, this is a NO.French Vanilla Latte: 7/10This was creamy, tasty and the coffee was pleasant in flavor. Perhaps slightly lacking the “French vanilla” part, but properly sweetened (just right).Restroom: 7/10Above.Professionalism: 4/10Above.
Went there for dinner. Waited for about 20-25 minutes. Ordered the cilantro chicken salad, grains of goodness and rigatoni Alla Bolognese. Would recommend all the dishes. Very balanced flavor. Would go again to try other dishes and desserts.
Its ironic...this place use to be really good. I ordered four different dishes that morning and all four were not available from the menu. And the riff raff that just drives by when youre sitting outside is way too crazy and noisy. I dont suggest sitting outside if youre in the mood to sit and talk with friends or family. Better order in rather than going there and finding out half the menus missing and taking in all the smoke and sound pollution from the drive-bys. The three stars are for the parfait otherwise nothing else to write about unfortunately!
Highly recommend for breakfast.Also the pomegranate & pistachio cake is so yummy 🍰
Very aloof and pretentious staff. Took my details for the waiting list and never called us. Which I suppose turned out good for us as I ended up going to Sultan’s Steakhouse. Much better service and excellent food.
First time here! We went in the buy Ramadan cakes for our friends. We ended up getting treats for ourselves too. We bought the famous pistachio pomegranate cake - delicious and the french toast creme brûlée which we ate warm was so very good. We sat outdoors at the Ramadan night market. We will for sure be back.
Food Quality is the only thing in the placeThe guys overthere have zero known about service or hospitalityi go there and i will never do it againi meet very rude guy with eyewear who is on the door he never answer to people and never smileeven the guy inside gives me imperssion that he is working as a ceo in microsoft or somethingboth ride employees was arabs not saudi citizenssomeone should inform them they must be nice and smile to all peoplebut what i see today was racistOne of the bad experience i have faced in mpre than 12 countries i have been living there or visited ..

Amazing service, nice place .. the Eggs Benedic with hash brown taste great ♥️
Good for breakfast. Its better to reserve ahead.
I loved the acai , berry pancake and the creme brule french toast...However the egg benidict was not that good

I’m a regular customer of their Khobar branch.I had a take-away from this branchFood is great as usualCilantro salad is a mustBeef burger sliders are DeleciousService is slow , unfortunately they have only started to prepare my order when the driver of one of the food Apps has arrived ( despite i paid online)
Puff pastry scrambled eggs?! Puff pastry chicken cream mushroom with mashed potatoes on the side?! Yes please 😋
Food was good. 1 star for the worst service and way of serving customers. The lady at the front is not friendly at wall as well as the waiter who served our table, he gave me the bill without saying a single word. Defiantly not visiting again!
Went there several times. Nice place, delicious food and good variety.
Luxury lounge, nice service, and delicious food.. I love everything ✨
The resturant is amazing. Every single order is delicious and so yummy. You must try mosey champion: it is stuffed mushroom and has a creamy sauce in the top. The rizito with truffle sauce, kiba salad, creamy chicken. I suggest you try every time a different order from a menu because I guarantee you will love it. Thanks madeleines keep it up.
Thier food is perfect the service is on the jet. However the AC wasnt performing as well as their staff, thats why 4 stars
Amazing place..downstairs place is a lot noisy,upstairs open air seating is amazing choice, breakfast is one of the best in town, french toast creme brulee is a must to try (only served in breakfast) , portions are more than enough.Vol au vont, and truffled risotto are a must try.Stuff are goodWill be back again.
Prices are too high , food is not bad , service is average
One of the best international restaurants in Riyadh. Lovely ambiance, excellent service, and a lot of delicious plates.
Sad to see a good restaurant goes down to be an average with their dishes and service. The coffee was really bad and service was really slow.
French onion soup 9/10, truffle pizza 9/10, pink pasta 8/10, bread pudding 9/10, french vanilla 8/10
Everything about this place is perfect. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, DESERT just perfect *chef’s kiss*They have this pancake thing for breakfast which is to die forAnd their brownie macaroon salted caramel is always my favoriteTheir pastas are realllyyyy good
Food were ok.I don’t suggest to take your kids their... last time my son’s birthday was the worst day ever.. the manager does not have enough experience controlling the mood in the restaurant.I recommend iHerb to open next to you.
Good queen of chicken slider, average pollo con pesto pizza. Bread pudding was nice & good americano. Price is average & good seating. Service is slow due to limited number of staff.
Nice cosy place. Food was lovely
One of the best Cake makers in Riyadh of course.Pomegranate with Pistachio is the best. I reserved by phone 2 days before. But when I came to take my cake, i waited for long time.The line of the customer who wants to order, is the same one if you need to take your order (which you reserved already).I will give them 4 stars, because of the long waiting time (even if you reserve).
It taste bad and I don’t recommend it at all. One of the worst cakes I have ever had in my life
Price 6/10Service 7/10I recommend risotto
Always my favourite 💛🥰.! 🍰🎂
The service was amazing and thestaff were understanding and the quality was excellent the atmosphere was good. Ac system needs improvement. Prices were ok. I will Try lunch next time.
Everything is good here!delicious dishesBread puddingThe other dessert on the menuLemon chicken wrapKibba saladWe enjoy most of the things on their menuTheir service is good too
Loved the interior, the atmosphere, everything is elegant and refresing. Friendly staff that are professional and fast. I came during breakfast time and they only surve breakfast menue on the morning. However their breakfast i ls worth tha shot. Loved their club sandwich and their french toast, they were both delicious. Their coffee was okay and nothing that special. Definitely coming back in another time to try another plates. And meybe trying one of their cakes, they have a massive variety of selections that looks very pretty and i hope they taste as good. My only problem is that the location is in an area that is very busy and very annoying to be in. Of course it’s a great location for the restaurant itself but as a costumer that hates such places i would find it very difficult to return.
Delicious cake 🎂 there , and perfect 😁 😁
The best French restaurant ever nice service lovely decor
Elegant place with creative outstanding dishes.Service could be enhanced but it’s OK
Delicious cake and perfect team and amazing place ❤❤❤
