Riyadh: At the Cultural Investment Conference held in Riyadh and organized by the Ministry of Culture, the Culinary Arts Commission announced a landmark partnership with Gault and Millau, one of the world’s most respected authorities in gastronomy and hospitality, to bring the brand to the Saudi market officially.
According to Saudi Press Agency, as part of this strategic collaboration, Gault and Millau will launch the Kingdom’s first-ever Yellow Guide, a prestigious culinary reference that sets a new benchmark for excellence. The guide aims to uncover hidden gems, spotlight regional diversity, and celebrate the rich tapestry of Saudi flavors, traditions, and culinary innovation. The inaugural edition will focus on five key destinations: Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, AlUla, and Abha.
With a legacy spanning over 50 years, a presence in more than 20 countries, a global network of 400 expert inspectors, and a listing of over 13,600 restaurants, Gault and Millau’s entry into Saudi Arabia reflects a shared vision to elevate the Kingdom’s culinary landscape. This initiative underscores a commitment to nurturing local talent and offering a trusted, independent guide for both local and international audiences.
The Culinary Arts Commission and Gault and Millau aim to empower Saudi culinary professionals, raise industry standards, and foster global connections that will shape the future of the Kingdom’s vibrant culinary scene.
