The cuisine is French Mediterranean with resounding star players such as Filet Mignon, Chevre Chaud, and Mille Feuille Potato. SO. Fleur also offers a delectable pastry section that you can pair with an array of teas and coffee.
If you’re in the mood for a fresh drink, the bar serves some invigorating, personalized mocktails. They’ve thought of everything, because there is also a high-end takeaway section that is perfect for those on the go.

Most of the items you would order on the menu are garnished with flowers.
Her Royal Highness Princess Sora continues to describe the new Riyadh hotspot, saying, “The flagship store boasts a floral section filled with creatively built bouquets. An upper mezzanine level housing an open mirror room, perfect for company-hosted classes or rentable event space.”
