The Madame Banquet restaurant in Alkhobar offers not only an all-day menu but also the opportunity to smoke a hookah.
More like a chic living room than a cafe, the eatery serves a range of breakfast and lunch dishes until 3 p.m., including croque monsieur, pancakes, croissants, and eggs.
For diners sensitive to smoke, mornings are the best time to visit.
Popular with evening customers is the Caesar salad presented in an edible tortilla bowl. A lemon with mint mojito mocktail is a recommended accompaniment.
Another favorite, and ideal for sharing, is the truffle ravioli stuffed with mushroom and ricotta cheese, tossed with toasted walnuts, and served in a creamy, truffle sauce.
A choice of desserts includes blueberry cake, which goes down well with a cappuccino.
The restaurant is open 4 p.m. to midnight on Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. all other days. For further information visit Instagram at @madame.banquet.
