Food and Drink/Dining Guide in Qatar
If you are in Qatar, or planning to
head there, and wondering about all the food and beverage options there, worry
not. There are plenty of restaurants in Qatar you can choose from. But,
how would you go about choosing which one is ideal for your taste, budget and
preference?
The easiest way to look for listings
of restaurants is to check out the online yellow pages that list out all the
services available in Qatar. The online listings give you contact details and
websites of restaurants so you can shortlist some of them and plan your day!
When you look up listings, it is easy
for you to get information on the following:
●
The
location/address of the restaurant with contact numbers
●
How to
get to the location
●
What
kind of payments are accepted: cash/card etc
●
The
price of a set meal/brunch/breakfast
●
The
cuisine available
●
Reservations,
and whether they are necessary or you can just show up
Alcoholic beverages in Qatar
In many restaurants in Qatar, alcohol may not be served,
especially in certain neighbourhoods. If you are an expat and want to savour a
drink or two, check with the restaurant before you make any bookings. If you
are particular about alcoholic beverages, typically, they are served in 5 star
restaurants and international hotel chain bars. Some of these international
bars may have a dress code as well, so it is best to check before heading to
the place.
By looking up all these details, it
becomes easy for you to plan a special night out with friends or family. If you
choose to randomly visit restaurants and checking out menus or
prices/reservations, you will end up losing a lot of time and energy. A special
occasion with a special someone would indeed need a lot of planning. You could
also take into account every member’s taste and zero in one of the restaurants
in Qatar that accommodate everyone’s preferences.
Wide variety of cuisines in Qatar
In terms of variety, restaurants in
Qatar offer cuisines that are both contemporary and traditional. There are
many fine dining and high-end luxury hotel brands in Qatar, especially in Doha.
These restaurants offer Middle-Eastern, Mediterranean and a wide range of
international and local cuisine. Some of the bigger hotel chains offer
restaurants and licenced bars serving the best of drinks from all over the
world.
Once you gain adequate information
from online listings of Qatar, the next thing you would need to do is check out
customer reviews online: maybe discussion boards or social media platforms etc.
The reviews are user-generated and authentic, so you would get a rough idea of
the kind of food and ambience in the restaurants. Sometimes, asking friends and
family for recommendations also help.
Though the big restaurants in Qatar
that belong to luxury hotel chains are expensive, there are many small
restaurants that offer affordable meals. You can eat a nice meal for less than
QR25 in many places. From Arabian to even South Indian breakfast options, these
places are highly popular among locals.
