Jones the Grocer has brought its established global blend of artisan groceries and cafe dining to Riyadh.

The setting reflects its origins, featuring appealing elements like the signature cheese room and communal tables.

The menu champions a simple concept: Gourmet food for everyday living. It promises fresh, artisan fare.

My recent experience delivered a generally pleasant vibe, though execution varied.

The truffle and mushroom risotto offered rich earthiness from the mushrooms and truffle oil, enhanced by salty grana padano. However, its texture was overly creamy. Authentic risotto achieves creaminess through the slow release of starch from properly cooked rice, not cream.
