The Globe
Saudi Arabia
The Globe brings a very different fine-dining mood to Riyadh’s top restaurant list, which is exactly why it works well as the replacement for the duplicate ROKA entry. Rather than another Japanese concept in As Sulimaniyah, this restaurant occupies the golden sphere crowning Al Faisaliah Tower, giving it one of the capital’s most recognisable settings. Official Mandarin Oriental pages position it as a signature dining destination inside the rebranded Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah, Riyadh and highlight its panoramic city views, modern European menu and table-booking functionality. That combination makes it both a genuine standalone restaurant choice and a strong visitor experience in its own right. For travellers, The Globe suits evenings when the setting matters as much as the meal. Its location in Al Olaya keeps it close to major hotels, business addresses and central shopping, so it fits neatly into a classic Riyadh itinerary without drifting outside the city scope. It also diversifies the list: where some entries lean toward imported lifestyle concepts in precincts like VIA Riyadh or Bujairi, The Globe offers a landmark tower restaurant tied to one of the city’s defining skyscrapers. The result is a polished, special-occasion option that is clearly operating, centrally placed and independently supported by primary hospitality sources.
