During its annual dinner reception held at Dar Al Qamar Restaurant in Belagio Resort, the outside catering team members have transformed the VIP area into an open air restaurant, and started concocting meals on the spot in front of the guests. Besides the delicious food, the dinner proved distinctive with regards to decoration and the way food was presented.

The event hosted a select group of media people, and it was the occasion for Belajio Resort to introduce its latest projects for 2013 — Cafe Trottoir and outside catering. The management took advantage of the project’s unique location to share with their guests a new experience that can only be encountered in world-famous hubs such as Beirut, Paris, and Morocco.

This experience consisted of setting up a coffee shop with small tables for 2 to 3 people reserved for families only, along a passage crossing all the way toward the existing restaurants. The ad hoc cafe stood out with its captivating artistic touch that blended colors with nature through a vivid and dynamic decor surrounded by flowers and plants. Over and above, the new cafe has a breathtaking view of the sea, hence offering its guests a rare opportunity for enjoying the sea and contemplating the sunset.

Sam Jabra’outi, Belajio Resort’s GM, said: “Belajio Resort reconfirms every year its reputation as the favorite destination for all Saudis and foreigners living in Jeddah as well as for the tourists.

It started launching new projects with the aim of developing this crucial sector. We are pioneers in introducing new projects in the Kingdom, such as the creation of the biggest Ramadan Tent at the Corniche as well as the launching of Cafe Trottoir in an event that was widely welcomed and acclaimed.”

Jad Kassas, Belajio’s marketing manager, said: “The open air Cafe Trottoir came as a result of a market study."
