Where We Are Going Today: ‘Jinji' – Korean cuisine in Jeddah
Jinji, the newest addition to Jeddah's growing lineup of Asian eateries, offers a casual and contemporary take on Korean cuisine. Located on Hira Street in Ash Shati District, this spot has quickly gained popularity for its street food-inspired menu, serving up favorites that feel straight out of Seoul's bustling food stalls. My visit started off with Korean classics like the crispy kimchi pancake and seafood pancake, both golden and satisfying. The kimchi version held a bit more punch for me. Their fried chicken is a highlight, especially the honey soy and sweet and spicy variations that offer a crispy bite with rich flavor. The plain fried chicken felt a little underwhelming in comparison and could use a touch more seasoning. Jinji lives up to its bold slogan, 'Serious meals only,' especially when it comes to Korean barbecue. The ribeye and short rib platter is ideal for sharing, with well-marbled cuts that are tender, juicy and full of flavor. The galbi plate, with its savory-sweet soy marinade, is another crowd-pleaser. The striploin and brisket platter is solid, though we found the brisket slightly dry on one visit. That said, grilling right at the table adds a hands-on experience similar to the authentic Korean BBQ joints of Seoul. Noodle lovers will appreciate the variety of ramyeon options, from the creamy pink rose version to the brisket ramyeon. The bibimbap is well-executed with fresh toppings, and the tteokbokki brings enough heat to satisfy fans of spice. Portion sizes are generous, and the pricing is reasonable as the BBQ platter, ranging between SR 200-250 ($53-66), easily feeds two to three people. Desserts bring a refreshing end to the meal, especially the authentic bingsu, a milk-based Korean shaved ice dessert in flavors like mango and Oreo. The hotteok pancake, filled with sugar, cinnamon, and nuts, is warm, chewy, and worth saving room for. The ambiance is minimalist and relaxed, though during peak hours the space can feel a bit cramped and noisy. For more, check Instagram @jinji_sa.

We tried Cecconi's at Soho House and this what we thought
Italian food with views across the sea, what's not to love? When I heard that Cecconi's at Soho House was opening their doors to non-members, I was keen to give it a try and it was a happy day when they invited me over to sample their menu. Cecconi's has sixteen venues across the globe, with several of their restaurants having reportedly hosted some of the biggest names in the celebrity world. A restaurant chain approved by the A listers; I had high expectations. And I must say I was not disappointed. The restaurant's interior (Image: The Argus Staff) Cecconi's Brighton venue is tucked away, just off Marine Parade, and looks to bring a slice of Northern Italy to Brighton's seafront. The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor dining, with a large terrace area offering panoramic views across the beach and a fantastic spot to watch the sunset on a summers evening. We took a seat at a table next to the window, where we began our evening with a drink. I went for the apple and honey mocktail which was both refreshing and the perfect alcohol alternative. I was particularly impressed by the number of options for alcohol-free cocktails, something which can often be limited at a lot of restaurants. For starters, we decided to share some calamari, a dish which was clearly popular among diners as we saw many the dish brought out throughout the evening. Calamari, alongside the honey and apple mocktail (Image: The Argus Staff) As someone who can be a little bit fussy when it comes to seafood, the calamari was delicious. The fish was not chewy and the battered coating was really flavoursome, pairing perfectly with the aioli dip. The portion size was also very generous, and having already indulged in some focaccia offered on entry, I was conscious to not spoil my main meal. For main course, I chose the buffalo mozzarella, tomato, and basil pizza. There was a good amount of cheese, and you could taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients used. Our main course (Image: The Argus Staff) My dining partner chose the pork chop with borlotti beans and gremolata, with a side of chips. The piece of pork was huge, the meat very tender with a lovely taste. The beans also complimented the dish well. By this point, I must admit I was feeling a little defeated by the level of carbs I had consumed. However, the temptation of at least looking over the dessert menu was too much. Easily persuaded, and taking a recommendation from staff, we ordered the choux bun. The giant pastry came with caramel ice cream, alongside a huge gravy boat filled with chocolate which you able to able to pour over the top. Hidden inside the profiterole you could also find rhubarb, which added a lovely sharpness to the rich, chocolaty flavours. The choux bun (Image: The Argus Staff) I can see why it's a favourite among customers, just thinking about it is making me hungry! Overall, my experience at Cecconi's was faultless. The food was delicious, topped off by the fantastic service and relaxing atmosphere. Staff had a really great understanding of what the restaurant had to offer and were consistently on hand to offer advice and recommendations. The food was of a really high standard, and although slightly pricier than other places in the city, I feel that the product you receive is good value and worth that little extra. If you are looking for a new restaurant to try this weekend with seafront views and impeccable service, Cecconi's is definitely worth a visit.

Where We Are Going Today: ‘Hokkaido' Japanese restaurant in Jeddah
Jeddah's food scene continues to evolve, and Hokkaido on Rawdah street stands out as the city's first all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant. Guests choose from three main dining experiences: a hot pot course, a barbecue course, or a mixed course that offers the best of both worlds. Take your pick from an extensive menu featuring meats and seafood, including black angus beef, crab, squid, mussels, octopus, and a sashimi platter. The barbecue experience is a standout. Grilling your own meats on a tabletop grill adds a fun, interactive element, and the freshness of the ingredients shines through. The hot pot is just as customizable. Create your ideal flavor profile by choosing from four broth options, mixing and matching — sukiyaki, spicy, tomato, and miso. The buffet includes a wide variety of options, including a spread of tempura, fried noodles, fried rice, assorted sushi, fresh fruit, desserts, and ice cream. You'll also find a selection of noodle types like ramen, glass noodles, and udon. While the food quality justifies it to some extent, the pricing leans toward the higher end, especially for larger groups. If you're visiting, I'd recommend opting for the barbecue option for more flavor control and a bit of table-side excitement.
