We know The Avenues is THE spot for shopping... but did you know that there's more you could do? Here are a few ideas of ways you could spend your weekend at The Avenues with family and friends doing all sorts of fun stuff, other than shopping!

TRY NEW RESTAURANTS AND CAFES

It seems like Kuwait’s main source of entertainment is going to restaurants with your friends, and for good reason: Because, well, food is life. The Avenues is known to include a large number of the trendiest and most delicious restaurants and cafés in Kuwait, and recently, a few restaurants have joined The Avenues family, so here’s a fun list to try:

ROTO

Are you a fan of rotisserie chicken? Even if you aren’t, you NEED to try it at ROTO, because it’s a whole other experience. Our Team especially loved the Shish Tawook platter and the Corn Brûlée.

ROTO is located in 2nd Avenue, next to Little Ruby’s.


LITTLE RUBY'S 

In the mood for comfort food? Healthy salads? Delicious desserts? Try Little Ruby’s. The recently-opened restaurant caters to everyone’s taste!

Little Ruby’s is located in 2nd Avenue next to Roto.


FLOCAFE KUWAIT 

Hey coffeeholics, you’ll love this one. FloCafe Kuwait is designed to elevate your coffee experience, and what makes the café unique isn’t only its wide variety of delicious coffees, it’s also the ambiance it provides from the moment you step inside.

Flocafe is located in 2nd Avenue, next to Lumiere.


LUMIERE 

If you have a sweet tooth, you will love Lumiere! Known for its fluffy donuts, it will definitely leave you wanting some more. Once you’ve filled your sweet craving, you can also check out the rest of their menu for other options!

Lumiere is located in 2nd Avenue, next to FloCafé Kuwait.

GO TO THE MOVIES

While it's true that you could watch all the newest movies from the comfort of your home, there's still something about going to the movies that makes it worth the effort, we especially felt that when we couldn't go for the past two years (thanks, 'rona). From the big screen, the people, the sound, and the food - the movies still have a certain charm that your home just can't match. Check out either Cinescape or VOX Cinemas for a fun experience!

VOX Cinemas is located in Grand Plaza, across from Pick.

Cinescape is located in 1st Avenue, next to IKEA.

PLAY FUN ACTIVITIES

Did you know The Avenues has awesome entertainment? Well, it does. In the mood to go ice-skating? Experience VR? Solve puzzles in an escape room? Test your athletic limits? All sorts of fun activities for kids? The Avenues' got it! You can check out the different options here on The Avenues website or on The Avenues App

READ YOUR FAVORITE BOOK

If you're in the mood to curl up and read your favorite book? Well, we have some secret spots for that at The Avenues! Bring your book (or check some out at either ThatAlSalasil or Afaaq bookstore), and enjoy your you-time in one of the quiet spots: 


COSTA COFFEE, 2ND AVENUE

Located in 2nd  Avenue, right next to ThatAlSalasil, the café is the perfect secluded spot for a peaceful read (and delicious treats!).

 

STARBUCKS, GRAND PLAZA

While Starbucks is usually crowded, their first floor in that branch is surprisingly as quiet as it is charming. Not only do you get a great view and your favorite coffee, but you also get a quiet spot to enjoy your favorite book.

THEATER CAFÉ AT VOX CINEMAS

We bet you didn’t know about that spot! Yes, the café is inside VOXand no, you don’t need a ticket to enter.

THATALSALASIL, 2ND  AVENUE

This is probably obvious, but ThatAlSalasil has a quiet place where you could either bring your own book or choose any book from there and enjoy a quiet read.

SPEND THE NIGHT AT THE HOTEL

What about spending the night at The Hilton Garden Inn - Kuwait? The 5-star hotel is such a beautiful space to unwind with a range of delicious restaurants, an outdoor pool, and a relaxing spa (not to mention the direct access to The Avenues), so it’s a guaranteed relaxing staycation!
