The Sofitel brunch also provides visitors with a well-equipped live sushi station full fresh ingredients where you can either enjoy watching your order being made or you can wait at your table and have it served to you by one of the welcoming waiters of the hotel.

Kids’ corner and play area

It is always exciting for our kids to see a kids’ corner at a restaurant, and it is an easy way for parents to keep the kids entertained and happy. The Sofitel Friday brunch offers a corner for kids with two types of salads, French fries, pizza, soup, rice and a chocolate fountain along with fruit sticks. After the kids are full, they can chill in the play area while the rest of the family enjoys the great view of the seafront and continues enjoying their food.

The Middle Eastern part of the brunch will leave you puzzled where to start — from the Moroccan side or the Saudi one. The brunch also offers typical Saudi Arabian food that no feast, whether a royal affair or a family gathering, would be without. A full cooked sheep, surrounded by masses of rice and garnished with hard-boiled eggs, is presented on a huge tray to make your Friday traditional.

The brunch is available every Friday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. starting from SR250 ($67) per person. The Sofitel Jeddah Corniche is located on the beach with an unparalleled view of the new iconic Jeddah sea front, on Al-Cornish Road, in the As-Shati district.

It is worth mentioning that brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch usually eaten during the late morning to early afternoon. It is popular all over the world on weekends when families often host relatives or friends in their dining room. The typical brunch can last a few hours and go late into the afternoon.
