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.

 

So, check out the yellow pages and head to a restaurant that suits you best and have a good time!
