JEDDAH: Renowned Japanese Nobu restaurant’s branch has opened on the popular Jeddah Corniche. The new Nobu Jeddah is part of an expansion of the Nobu brand in Saudi Arabia, founded by chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper, in partnership with Fakieh Leisure and Entertainment Group, Tarfeeh Fakieh. It is located on the corniche that hosts many restaurants, cafes, as well as entertainment and artistic centers.
