Canapés · Receptions & VIP

Small bites, big first impressions.

At a reception your guests meet the food before they meet each other. Our chefs make canapés and finger food by hand in our Riyadh kitchen, and our hosts serve them to your guests on trays or on a styled display.

Saudi heritage, in one bite

Some of our favourite canapés start from the Saudi table: jareesh croquettes, mini mutabbaq with spiced lamb, haneeth on areekah, Sukkari dates with goat cheese and walnut, and kabsa arancini. They tell your guests where they are.

Beside them sit international selections: smoked salmon blini, beef tenderloin with truffle on crostini, burrata with tomato, saffron chicken skewers, and a vegetarian line for guests who need one.

A sweet ending, served the same way

Sweet canapés close the reception: kleija and date cream tartlets, saffron luqaimat with cardamom cream, Saudi coffee panna cotta, pistachio cannoli and petits fours.

We plan how many pieces each guest needs from how long your reception runs and whether a meal follows, and we keep the trays moving so the last guest is served like the first. Every piece is marked with its allergens on the menu.
