Ain Alalam – Rashad Iskandrni

 [November 11, 2025]. The Lighthouse Restaurant & Lounge, known for its Mediterranean-inspired dining and role as a cultural and social hub, has opened its second Riyadh location at Solitaire Mall. Building on the popularity of its first location at Diplomatic Quarter, the new venue introduces a new destination for the city’s dining and social scene.

Fresh Take on Interior Design

The Lighthouse Solitaire is set within an architecturally striking unit designed by London-based Archer Humphryes Architects. The interiors balance heritage and modernity through warm wood finishes, sculptural forms, playful tiling, and contemporary lighting by Ingo Maurer. Key features such as an open kitchen counter, artisanal bakery and patisserie display, and a welcoming dining space create an atmosphere that blends craftsmanship and comfort. The addition of a DJ booth further animates the discerning space, affirming The Lighthouse’s role as a venue where timeless design and fresh food sparks conversation and brings the community together.

Launch of the Lighthouse Bakery & Pâtisserie

The opening of Solitare also marks the official launch of The Lighthouse Bakery & Pâtisserie, introducing a new destination for freshly baked artisanal breads, viennoiseries and pastries. From freshly baked sourdoughs and focaccias to flaky croissants and delicate pastries such Pistachio Mafrukeh Tart, The Lighthouse Bakery & Pâtisserie is set to become a neighborhood favorite.

Guests can start their morning with an oriental breakfast platter to share and freshly baked pastries such as our Goat Cheese and Honey Pie before moving on to healthy salads and flavorful mains.

From breakfast through dinner, the offering balances soul food with creativity, making it suitable for everything from business lunches to extended family gatherings. Guests can enjoy specialty coffees and a wide selection of refreshing mocktails that pair naturally with the menu and carry the experience from day to night.

With the opening of its second location in Riyadh, The Lighthouse Group strengthens its commitment to creating venues that celebrate food, design, and community, further cementing its role in shaping the Kingdom’s evolving dining scene.
