Jeddah is now loaded with world class restaurants. I recently had the pleasure of having breakfast at Angelina, a beautiful Parisian franchise restaurant located right on the Red Sea along Jeddah's Corniche. There is seaside seating and of course indoor seating as well. Angelina originated in France, so the decor and menu are decidedly French too.
A modern white marble fountain graces an interior courtyard where there is additional outdoor seating which separates two separate areas of the restaurant.
The April weather was warmer than it has been and there was a haze in the sky and not much of a breeze - but that didn't stop us from enjoying one of our last meals outside before it just gets too hot to do it.
The croissants and other French pastries were perfect! I also had an omelette that was delicious. Loved the cappucchino too!
Since I had several of the small croissants, I opted not to have the Pain Perdu (French Toast), but my friends all adored it and it looked scrumptious!!!
The fresh fruit was so colorful, juicy, and delicious too. All the food was presented beautifully. I especially loved the pistachio croissant - so flakey and fabulous!
The menu is a little pricey but definitely worth the experience of going. Angelina is located just south of the Fakieh Aquarium on the Corniche. There is also a lovely specialty boutique gift shop on the premises. Their number number is 012 288 0378 and the patisserie is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
That's me with Fritz, the charming South African manager of Angelina, who makes sure everything runs smoothly. Go visit Angelina - you will love it!
It looks quite welcoming.
