Forget that sad snack at home. It’s time go out for a proper meal. These late-night restaurants in Riyadh have proper dinners to enjoy post-midnight.

These venues promise to satisfy, whether you’re dining at 8pm, 11pm or, 12.30am.
Angelina
We know, we know. Angelina is known for its rich hot chocolate, but it’s also a great pick for late-night restaurants in Riyadh with a serious view. Open until 2am, the Bujairi Terrace eatery offers views of the historical site of Turaif. Enjoy a sandwich and sweets, or make it a proper meal with mushroom risotto, grilled salmon and grilled lamb chops. We still recommend saving room for dessert.

Baos, tacos and tapas? Okay, okay, okay. Baco has traditional late-night eats, but in a more elevated seating than your usual grab-and-go venue.

Start off with a Thai chicken gyoza or Mexican roll then chow down on vermicelli noodles in black bean sauce, crispy prawn bao and wagyu steak tacos followed apple cake for dessert. How about that for late-night restaurants in Riyadh?

Villa Mamas
Chef Roaya Saleh has brought her popular Bahraini restaurant to the city, and she is making sure dinners can get their fill of comforting eats at all hours.
