Saudi Vision 2030 has spurred a transformative era in the food and beverage sector, drawing global attention and inspiring new culinary innovations. This feature celebrates 27 trailblazing restaurateurs and entrepreneurs who blend authenticity with modernity to redefine dining experiences and elevate Saudi Arabia’s F&B industry on the global stage. From cloud kitchens to fine dining, each leader contributes to the Kingdom’s evolving gastronomy scene. Explore the full list of influential figures shaping Saudi Arabia's culinary future.

A year ago, there were over 132,383 restaurants, cafes, and bakeries in Saudi Arabia, a country that covers an area of 2.15 million square kilometers—five times the size of the entire GCC combined.    The Kingdom boasts a unique food culture, with diverse offerings across its provinces. Riyadh Province has the highest number of restaurants, cafes, and bakeries, totaling over 33,399 establishments. Following Riyadh, Makkah has over 31,872, and the Eastern Province has 21,499. In contrast, the Northern Borders Region has the fewest, with only 1,601 establishments, followed by the Al Bahah Region with 1,806. In 2024, the number of restaurants in Riyadh increased by 400%, including a 300% rise in upscale venues. Saudi Arabia's emergence as a luxury hub has been significant, as has the growing participation of women in the workforce. Additionally, the preferences of Millennial and Gen Z consumers have diversified the luxury market. Given the number of restaurants, companies, and the size of our Kingdom, it is an extreme honor to be named among the “Saudi F&B Heroes: 27 Restaurateurs & Entrepreneurs Blazing a Trail” in the most important publication about the hospitality industry Caterer Middle East. Additionally, Takara Hospitality Group's being a fully Saudi-made company makes this recognition even more meaningful. If you are considering an investment opportunity, I highly recommend investing in Saudi Arabia—you will not regret it!
