Residents and weekend visitors in Jeddah are in for a new lunchtime treat as the number one hotel in the city recently introduced a new midday dining concept ideal for a long, leisurely weekend catch up with friends and family.


The landmark Rosewood Corniche welcomed The Saturday Market to its renowned International restaurant, Habsburg on Saturday 6 September 2014.  Every Saturday, hotel guests and visitors are invited to select fresh foods from a variety of market stations and watch the team of chefs prepare their food at live cooking stations. 


The new cooking concept provides diners with the opportunity to see how fresh their meals are, selecting prime cuts of beef, fish and poultry, before they watch the art and skill which goes into perfectly cooking their dish. 


Overlooking the Corniche and the Red Sea, the Habsburg team of chefs combines cooking styles from throughout Europe, the Middle East and Far East, offering guests a true array of International customs and experience.


“We wanted to create a new and unique Saturday lunch experience for our guests and this is a way we can mark the new Friday to Saturday weekend in Saudi Arabia.  Food plays a vital role in a great, memorable weekend and this new concept is sure to be buzzing with atmosphere as the kitchens come alive,” said Hans-Peter Leitzke, Managing Director at Rosewood Corniche.


“Habsburg is one of Jeddah’s most popular restaurants, with weekly events such as the Friday brunch, and we believe The Saturday Market will become a new favourite family option, satisfying our customers with the wide selection of fresh foods on offer from across the globe.”


Guests can expect an array of fresh fruit, salad, tapas, dim sum, chicken, beef and cheese stations to choose from.  The market experience allows diners to talk to the chefs, seek their advice on particular ingredients, and discover how various dishes such as tapas and dim sum creatively come together. 


Freshly made drinks are available from the seasonal fruit station which allows guests to watch their drinks come together from selected fruits.  Strong favourites include The Cherry Cooler and Banana Smoothie.


At The Salad Station, guests can select fresh, crisp lettuce, mushrooms, shrimp, olives and dressing.  The items will then be places into a shaker to ensure that each piece is coated evenly.


The Saturday Market is now open every Saturday, from 12noon to 4:00pm at SAR180 per person.


Situated on Jeddah’s Corniche, Rosewood Corniche is ideal for both business and leisure travelers. The celebrated Jeddah Corniche runs parallel to the Red Sea for over 32 kilometers and provides convenient access to the city’s business and leisure areas.
