Best 10 Restaurants in Jeddah — November 2026

#1 مطعم بورتوفيش للمأكولات البحرية ‏Portofish seafood • 4.9★ • 955 reviews

Portofish tops the chart this month with a near-perfect 4.9 rating — the highest score in the entire qualified field — built on 955 reviews that consistently praise both the freshness of the seafood and the warmth of the team. The name that comes up again and again is manager Ahmad Al-Afrit, whose hospitality seems to set the whole restaurant's tone from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.

We will definitely come back. Food, resto and staff especially Mr. Ahmad Afrid. All good 😊

Best for: Seafood lovers who want top-tier quality and genuinely attentive management.

#2 Amar Jeddah • 4.8★ • 17,179 reviews

With over 17,000 reviews, Amar Jeddah carries more social proof than almost any restaurant in the city — and it still holds a 4.8. That kind of volume usually drags scores down; the fact that it doesn't speaks to how reliably good this place is. Reviewers frequently mention cleanliness, respectful service, and food that keeps them coming back for more.

One reviewer praised the overall cleanliness and respectful atmosphere, calling the food delicious and wishing the restaurant blessings, while thoughtfully encouraging the team to partner with local food-rescue charities so any leftovers can reach those who need them.

Best for: Groups and families who want a proven crowd-pleaser with a long track record.

#3 La Calle • 4.8★ • 8,729 reviews

La Calle is the kind of place where the starters steal the show. Reviewers rave about the appetizers and salads — cauliflower dishes get a special shoutout — while the mains hold their own with a surf-and-turf menu that spans lobster, wagyu tacos, seafood paella, and tenderloin steak. The staff also earns plenty of individual recognition, with names like Mansoor and Mary Joy mentioned warmly in reviews.

Excellent food and service
Just one small note: if there is no music that would be perfect
Mansoor is the best there is

Best for: Date nights and special occasions where you want impressive starters and a buzzy atmosphere.

#4 Shang Palace • 4.8★ • 2,121 reviews

Shang Palace delivers polished Chinese fine dining in Jeddah, and reviewers make it clear this is a repeat-visit kind of place. The food is described as delicious and beautifully executed, while the service team — especially staff members Chona and Masoud — get called out specifically for their attentiveness and warmth.

We had lovely dinner supervised by Chona, she was welcoming and friendly. This isn't my first time coming here and won't be my last. Great food and attentive service.

Best for: Chinese cuisine enthusiasts and anyone looking for a refined, table-service dining experience.

#5 The Blak Peco | ذا بلاك بيكو • 4.8★ • 3,304 reviews

The Blak Peco has carved out a reputation as the go-to for salads in Jeddah — reviewers are particularly obsessed with the BBQ Kale salad, calling it outstanding — but the menu runs deeper than greens, with a variety of dishes that keep diners exploring. One English-language reviewer summed up the full experience particularly well after a dinner visit with his wife.

Went there with my wife to have dinner. The service was nothing but perfect. We had the pleasure of being served by Heth, who was very welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious and their menu had a great variety. A must try experience. Will definitely visit again.

Best for: Health-conscious diners and salad aficionados who still want serious flavour.

#6 be sanus restaurant • 4.8★ • 867 reviews

Be Sanus has quietly become one of Jeddah's most beloved healthy-eating destinations, and with 867 reviews at 4.8 stars, the word is definitely spreading. Unlike some health-food spots that trade flavour for virtue, reviewers here repeatedly note that the food actually tastes great — seasoning is spot-on, proteins are perfectly cooked, and the fresh ingredients (leafy greens, mango, pomegranate) are impeccable. Staff members Hudhaifa and Osama both get glowing personal shoutouts for their smiles and quick, caring service.

Best for: Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone who wants genuinely tasty food that also happens to be good for them.

#7 مطعم أوليف جاردن جده | Olive Garden Jeddah • 4.8★ • 13,266 reviews

Olive Garden Jeddah is another high-volume powerhouse on this list, sitting at 13,266 reviews with a 4.8 rating intact. It clearly knows how to deliver consistency at scale. Reviewers praise the breakfast spread and the relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and a staff member named Naira earns particularly enthusiastic individual praise across multiple reviews for her attentive and professional service.

Naira was an amazing waiter! She was very friendly, attentive, and professional. Her service was excellent, and she made sure everything was taken care of throughout our visit. Thank you, Naira, for making our experience so enjoyable! Highly recommended!

#8 طحينة • 4.8★ • 15,234 reviews

Tahina is a Jeddah institution in the making — 15,234 reviews and still holding 4.8 is genuinely impressive. The restaurant earns consistent love for its food quality and its team, with reviewers specifically naming staff members Ahmed Jamal, Muhammad Nabil, and Muzhar for their courteous and warm service. Multiple reviewers say it's their favourite branch and that they've never had a bad experience.

One reviewer described the restaurant as beautiful, the food as wonderful, and singled out Ahmed Jamal as a highly respectful and tasteful person — the kind of comment that shows genuine, personal appreciation rather than a generic thumbs-up.

Best for: A reliable, crowd-pleasing meal where you know the team genuinely cares about every table.

#9 Ricci San • 4.8★ • 1,563 reviews

Ricci San is the name Jeddah's Japanese food lovers keep coming back to, praised for modern Asian cooking in a clean, welcoming space. The sushi gets particularly enthusiastic reviews, and the service team — including waiters Noel and Fahiem — earns high marks for being knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely hospitable.

Absolutely amazing food, everything was delicious and perfectly cooked! The service was outstanding, and our waiter (Fahiem)was incredibly knowledgeable and excellent. Not a single thing to complain about — everything was perfect. Highly recommended! ⭐️

Rounding out the top 10 is Beijing Jeddah Park, a Chinese restaurant that reviewers love for its delicious food and accessible pricing.

The food is so delicious and affordable price. The staff also is very accommodating

How We Rank

A 4.9 from 20 reviews and a 4.9 from 955 reviews are not the same thing — and our ranking engine knows it. Raddod uses a Bayesian scoring model that weights each restaurant's average rating against the total volume of reviews it has collected. A place with hundreds or thousands of reviews has to work much harder for every fraction of a star, which means the businesses you see at the top of this list have earned their position across a genuinely large and diverse sample of real diners. No paid placements, no editorial favourites.

On top of the score, our AI reads the actual text of Google reviews to identify recurring themes — service quality, specific staff members, consistency, atmosphere — and uses those signals to validate what the numbers are already showing. It's the same gut-check a savvy local friend would do, just at a scale no human team could manage alone. Want the full technical breakdown? Read our methodology to see exactly how it works.

What Visitors Said

Across this month's top restaurants, a few themes kept surfacing in the reviews. At Portofish, diners weren't just complimenting the seafood — they were specifically naming the manager and describing his hospitality as polished and genuinely warm, noting that his attentiveness lasted from the moment they arrived to the moment they left. That's the kind of personal touch that turns a meal into a memory.

Over at be sanus, one regular visitor — who described himself as an athlete — wrote that be sanus is the first place he thinks of whenever hunger strikes, going on to praise the restaurant's cleanliness, quality, and taste before singling out a staff member named Osama as an exceptional host with a beautiful smile and outstanding customer service. It reads less like a review and more like a heartfelt letter.

And at Ricci San, a diner described the restaurant as the place they love most in all of Jeddah, highlighting the cleanliness of the space, the quality of the service, and specifically calling out the sushi as something that makes you want to close your eyes in appreciation. When a reviewer is reaching for that kind of language, you know the kitchen is doing something right.

Tips for Choosing

• Match the occasion to the venue. A casual lunch with colleagues calls for somewhere different than a milestone anniversary dinner. Use the "Best for" tags in each entry above as a quick shortcut to find the right fit.
• Check the review volume, not just the rating. A 4.8 built on 15,000 reviews is a much stronger signal than a 4.9 built on 50. Consistency over thousands of visits is what you're really after.
• Look for named staff in reviews. When reviewers take the time to mention a specific waiter or manager by name, it usually means the service was memorably good — not just fine. Several restaurants on this list earn that distinction repeatedly.
• Visit on a weekday if you can. Jeddah's top restaurants fill up fast on Thursday and Friday evenings. A Tuesday or Wednesday visit often means shorter waits, more attentive service, and a more relaxed atmosphere all around.
