Ovun Bistro is a Lebanese restaurant based in Riyadh, offering a refined interpretation of authentic Lebanese cuisine. Recognized by the Michelin Guide and voted Best Lebanese Restaurant in Riyadh 2025 by Time Out, Ovun stands as a destination for quality, creativity, and consistency.
Built on the principles of authenticity and culinary artistry, Ovun is led by Michelin-starred chef Alan Geaam. The restaurant reflects a balance between traditional Lebanese flavors and a contemporary approach to dining — where fire, oven craft, and live culinary theatre meet generous hospitality.
Every dish is crafted with care, inspired by heritage, and served in a space designed to bring people together around the table.
Built around real cooking theatre using Josper, firewood and oven techniques — bringing depth of flavour and sensory appeal that most Lebanese restaurants no longer execute at scale.
Guests experience premium ingredients, refined recipes, and elevated ambience without formality or price intimidation — a place for both everyday dining and special occasions.
Warmth, generosity, pride and storytelling designed into every guest journey. From the first welcome through to table rituals — we create a memory, not just a meal.
From intimate gatherings to celebrated occasions — Ovun Bistro crafts experiences around the moments that matter most.
"We don't just serve food — we connect, care and create stories that last long after the last bite."
