Where We Are Going Today: ‘Brunch' in Jeddah
In Madinah and craving a satisfying morning bite? Brunch is worth a visit.
Tucked away on Sultanah street, this cosy restaurant delivers a cheerful vibe and a menu that's big on flavor.
We visited as a family and sampled a range of sandwiches, most of which are built around soft, buttery brioche bread.
The halloumi sandwich was a favorite, with grilled halloumi, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, and arugula coming together in harmony.
The tuna sandwich offered a twist with rosemary sauce and crisp greens, while the scrambled mixed cheese delivered just what its name promises.
For those who prefer meatier bites, the turkey scramble was a good option, stuffed with fluffy eggs, sliced turkey, melted cheddar, and their house sauce all packed together.
We could not leave without trying the dessert. The Nutella French toast was just indulgent enough, topped with crunchy biscuit bits, while the banoffee French toast, filled with banana, creamy banoffee sauce and whipped cream, was rich and sweet.
Beverage choices, however, are simple: black coffee, fresh orange juice, and soft drinks. I was surprised to find no tea options. As a die-hard tea drinker, I had to make a quick run to a nearby cafe to fetch a cuppa to enjoy alongside the food.
Portions are on the smaller side, so extra items may be needed to feel full; I ended up going for two sandwiches, as well as dessert.
