It has been long and overdue, a search for a relaxing and quiet venue to share your thoughts and time with friends, colleagues and possibly strike a business deal with a future venture partner. Or simply have a family gathering and unwind for the weekend.

Rosewood Corniche has been a prominent icon of sophistication, spectacular design, superb service and a magnificent view of the Red Sea. It is only one of the many Texan based Rosewood Hotels and Resorts properties envisioned and manages worldwide. The attention to details, the eye for aesthetics and the passion to deliver great customer service at its best embodied at its core.

Nestled firmly at the ground level; immediately to the right of the hotel façade, one would be welcomed by a spacious and beautifully crafted interior of the Soleil Café. The authentic Viennese inspired location to go to lift your spirits and get refreshing drinks now offers something new along with its freshly brewed coffee, exclusive teas, delicious pastries and savories, handmade chocolates and exquisite Arabian sweets.

It is open 24 hours / seven days a week with afternoon teas also available at the Corniche Lobby Lounge from 15:30 to 18:30 Hrs. (3:30 to 6:30 P.M.)

The passion and love for creating pastry culinary wonders by Chef Maurizio and Chef Monir Ahmed has conceived the “cronut ‘. An original recipe derived from its New York based sister company – The Carlyle; Rosewood Corniche now has a local version for its pastry lovers.

Everyone in Jeddah can now enjoy, marvel and mouth water for Cronuts. An amiable combination of the donuts’ firm texture and the sweetness and crumbly layers of a croissant. “It’s sweeter than a croissant and lighter than a donut!”. Fresh Cronuts are available at Soleil Café daily from 6:00 to 9:00 P.M. (and only while supply lasts). One can choose from four flavors of caramel, vanilla, chocolate and cinnamon. A new flavor being launched is targeted for Soleil Café’s female guests. It ‘s called a Ladies Cronut – luscious strawberry and passion fruit filled with crystal sugar toppings.

The Ladies Cronut was refreshing to the palate. It was a perfect match between the tart taste of the passion fruit, strawberry filling and the sweet sugar crystals adding a crunch in every bite. The cinnamon cronut had just the right cinnamon flavor and sweetness. Too much cinnamon would have overpowered the cronut altogether. To enjoy one’s cronut – you have to eat it using your hands.

Every cronut was a delight to bite, chew and savour. The after taste of some other brands of donut or croissant can hardly be noticed and unlike other soggy oil draped donuts, the cronut maintains its taste and softness. It is one of the reasons Soleil Café only offers this beautiful pastry between 6:00 to 9:00 P.M. daily.

Aside from enjoying a “zen” filled atmosphere at Soleil Café, one can also avail Wifi connection at an hourly or daily rate. We strongly suggest you come and visit them at your next free hours. Grab a bite and relax!

Had a perfect Vanilla ‘Cronut’ here this evening, definitely worth checking out!
