In a big move for Riyadh’s dining scene, The Lighthouse is gearing up to open its doors in the Diplomatic Quarter, bringing with it the lively atmosphere and diverse food scene that made it a hit in Dubai since 2017.
Founders Inspired by Creativity and Community
Started by Hashem Montasser and Hany Bassiouny, The Lighthouse draws inspiration from the Bloomsbury Group, a bunch of writers and artists who hung out together at Virginia Woolf’s place in the early 1900s. They wanted to blend good food with a place for people to meet and chat—a vibe they’ve carried from their first spot in Dubai’s Design District to places like the Mall of the Emirates, Nakheel Mall, and Yas Bay Waterfront.
