Where We Are Going Today: KOT L’Entrecote de Jeddah

Located in Al-Zahra district, KOT L’Entrecote de Jeddah offers a slice of Parisian indulgence with its signature dish, the famed L’Entrecote Originale.

The ambiance strikes a balance between sleek and cozy, with warm lighting, polished interiors, and soft music setting the tone for a leisurely evening.

The menu is short and sweet, featuring just one main course — a deliberate choice reflecting the restaurant’s focus on perfecting a single dish.

The highlight, and the only entree offered, is the L’Entrecote Originale: tender prime beef tenderloin grilled on a hot stone and generously coated in a creamy, buttery sauce inspired by a classic French recipe.

The dish arrives sizzling, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma. While the sauce is rich and flavorful, it can feel a bit heavy after several bites.

Thankfully, the crispy fries provide balance, and the complimentary refill of fresh walnut salad adds a refreshing touch to complete the experience.

Portions are generous, ranging from 150–300 grams, allowing guests to tailor their meal to their appetite. Among add-ons, the baked potato is a must-try — perfectly fluffy inside with a crisp, golden skin.

Desserts bring a sweet finale, with the tiramisu and creme brulee standing out as clear winners. The chocolate fondue, however, could use a smoother texture and less dryness.

KOT L’Entrecote de Jeddah captures much of the French dining charm, though a slightly broader menu could offer diners more variety and elevate the overall experience. For more details, visit @kotdejeddah.

Where We Are Going Today: Pick — Kuwaiti cafe in Riyadh

A Kuwaiti cafe that arrived in Riyadh in 2020, Pick is a popular grab-and-go spot offering fresh, tasty, and healthy snacks and meals.

Their sandwiches and hot platters are perfect for lunch or dinner, with calorie, fat, carb, and protein info for easy choices.

My favorite is the turkey veggie with its simple ingredients like reduced-fat cheddar, tomato, lettuce, Dijon mustard, and a few drops of Tabasco.

Other options include chicken rocca, chicken spinach, the club, egg sandwich with high-protein bread, tandoori wrap, tuna pesto, pepperoni pizza wrap, chicken fajita wrap, and more.

Hot platters range from chicken tawook and butter chicken to lamb machboos, shrimp red curry, galbi jim, chicken katsu, green chicken curry, and pasta options.

Salads come in small side pots or larger meal bowls, all fresh and balanced. The quinoa Greek salad pot is a standout.

Their acai bowls — classic, peanut, passion fruit, or build-your-own — are also appealing.

Pick also offers bakery items, frozen yogurt, and healthy cheesecakes. The fro-yo toppings were good, though I’d have preferred the yogurt a bit tangier.

The cafe has a relaxed, airy vibe, ideal for meals or light work. One tip: Skip the matcha unless you like it more milky than grassy.

Overall, Pick is a solid choice for complete meals and healthy desserts. Check their Instagram @pick_saudi for more options.
