Time Out Jeddah Restaurant Awards 2024: Nominees revealed

The annual awards, now in its second year, will be held on Wednesday, May 15 at the Crowne Plaza Jeddah Al Salam.

After a successful inaugural event last year, additional regional categories have been introduced for 2024. New categories include Best Japanese, Best Lebanese, Best Lounge, and Best Seafood.

The shortlist will feature more than 180 entries across 20 categories to highlight the finest dining establishments and cafés in the Red Sea city.

The Time Out Jeddah Restaurant Awards are the culmination of 12 months of anonymous restaurant reviews all over the city, taking in a diverse range of cuisines, experiences and price points.

For more than 20 years, Time Out’s reviewers have conducted anonymous, independent restaurant visits in the region, booking anonymously and paying for every meal in order to decide which restaurants offer the best value, quality, and experience for diners.

The Time Out Restaurant Awards are the longest-running, most established dining awards in the Middle East with flagship events across the UAE and Saudi. The first awards were held in Dubai in 2005, and the first Saudi event was held in Riyadh in 2022.
