NOIR café opens its second Riyadh branch at VIA Riyadh
The Qatari café and restaurant NOIR now has a second home in Riyadh, at entrance V8 of VIA Riyadh in Al Hada, open daily from 4pm to midnight.
NOIR, the café and restaurant brand from Qatar, has opened its second branch in Riyadh, at VIA Riyadh in Al Hada. The café's own website now lists the new address, entrance V8 of VIA Riyadh, next to its first Riyadh branch in Laysen Valley on King Khalid Road.
The new branch keeps the look the brand is known for: a dark, glossy front under hanging plants and strings of warm lights, crystal chandeliers inside, a black and white chequered floor, and a terrace with sofas facing the walkway. Platinumlist's guide, which reported the opening, says it opens daily from 4pm to midnight and recommends booking a table.
The dine-in menu mixes European and Asian dishes. NOIR lists truffle and mushroom soup and tom yum among its soups; burrata, beetroot, Wagyu Thai and little gem Caesar salads; a golden truffle pizza, a margherita and its own "NOIR Pizza Arabica Roll"; a mushroom and truffle risotto; Wagyu striploin, ribeye and Wagyu stroganoff steaks; and dishes such as Andhra chicken biryani, grilled salmon and shrimp linguine. The café also has separate breakfast, sweets and coffee menus, and the guide singles out its tiramisu and chocolate fondant.
NOIR first came to Riyadh in 2025, when it opened in Laysen Valley. VIA Riyadh, the open-air shopping and dining quarter in Al Hada, has been adding names this season: SASSO, the Italian restaurant from Doha, opened there earlier this month, alongside restaurants such as Gymkhana and Madeo.
The café has not published prices on its website, and the menu online does not list them, so expect them at the table. NOIR does not say whether walk-ins are taken at the busiest hours.
For a table, call the café on +966 11 511 5747 (the number its website gives for both Riyadh branches) or message its Instagram account, @cafenoir.ksa. The branch is at entrance V8 of VIA Riyadh, Al Hada, and opens every day from 4pm to midnight. The first branch in Laysen Valley stays open, so check which one you are booking.
