DUBAI: Celebrated British chef Jason Atherton will return to Saudi Arabia this weekend for a stint at Maraya Social, his fine dining establishment on top of the iconic multi-purpose conference and entertainment venue in AlUla.
The chef, the founder of multiple Michelin-starred restaurants, opened Maraya Social on Oct. 15, 2021, marking his first venture into the Kingdom.
The eatery is part of Atherton’s globally renowned group The Social Company, which boasts a wide-ranging portfolio of restaurants in London, Shanghai, Dubai, Mykonos, St Moritz and Hong Kong.
Maraya Social serves up European cuisine in a sharing format and takes inspiration from AlUla with produce sourced from local farms, all served up in Atherton’s signature style.
The restaurant is located on the rooftop of Maraya, the mirrored building with a 360-degree view of stunning rock-strewn valleys and canyons of the Ashar Valley.
Visitors can book a table for brunch or dinner on the MyTable app from March 2-4.
