COYA Riyadh will open in the city’s Sulaimaniya District in February 2022, following a number of popular pop-ups in Saudi Arabia.
Since first opening in Mayfair, London, the brand has expanded to Paris, Monte Carlo and Mykonos in Europe and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha here in the Middle East.
COYA Riyadh will be led by General Manager Marco Di Pietro, who was previously responsible for the COYA Jeddah and COYA Riyadh pop-ups. Before that he was Restaurant Manager for Myazu Jeddah and Riyadh. He said: “We are extremely excited to bring the taste of COYA to Saudi Arabia through our new permanent location. Focusing on a family-focused, diverse atmosphere, COYA Riyadh will be a glitzy addition to Saudi Arabia’s fine-dining scene. I look forward to welcoming guests in February 2022.”
Stefano Pizzini, Middle East Operations Manager, COYA added: “Following highly acclaimed pop-ups in Riyadh and Jeddah, we felt a need in the Saudi Arabia dining scene for an authentic experience that focuses on Peruvian cuisine. COYA Riyadh was a result of the overwhelming response we received from our customers to open a venue in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
