Our cuisine
The cuisine is richly selective, drawing its influences from the French with Mediterranean fusion in an array of flavors that story-tell the journey through the many cultures that have occupied the Arabian Peninsula.
A delectable ensemble of French, Italian, and Mediterranean foods, with a subtle infusion of Saudi elements, encouraging sharing and representing a selection of appetizers, main courses, desserts and pastries. In SO. Fleur, our goal is constantly to discover new products and meet people – farmers, marketers, and fishermen to get the best of local ingredients and bring unforgettable taste, experience and inspiration to your table through a sustainable farm-to-table mentality.
Every detail has a story, and we made it special for your discovery every time with the new visit.

Our decor
The atmosphere speaks to a luxuriousness of service, sophisticated and opulent, yet easily accessible and comfortable to relax in.The design direction takes the form of a historic French Era with an orientalist touch, The host desk is topped with a bouquet of Czech-made, custom-designed crystal pendants. The center of the venue houses a sculpted marble bar counter with a panda marble countertop whose veins continue on the floor. This counter is surrounded by colonnades and topped by a crystal dome made of more than 300 mouth-blown crystal components. The wall behind the counter is an out-of-the-ordinary composition of classic French arches rhythmed by Paul Rousso sculptures. The upper part is a gold metallic eye-catching feature that flows down. Further down is a leather and marble-cladding spiral staircase giving access to the more exclusive mezzanine.
The mezzanine is a more cozy atmosphere, with wood herringbone flooring, Christian Lacroix wall covering, and an eclectic sofa defining the artistic backdrop. Its ceiling is a contemporary interpretation of classic European moldings, and a feature LED wall offers the option of hosting events. The highlight is a private room that sits cantilevered on the edge of the mezzanine, the privacy enforced by the single-sided mirror cladding of the room offering an impressive bird's eye view over the ground floor.
