The best Restaurants in Qatar

Qatar serves a blend of traditional and modern food from around the world. Top-end luxury hotel chains bring with them ample options for fine dining. Ritz-Carlton, Sheraton, Marriott, InterContinenal, Radisson and St. Regis are only some of the hotels that stand on the small 11,571 sq.km. Qatar peninsula.

It is best to keep your passport on your person at all times if you are planning to eat out in any five-star restaurant in the country as you may be asked for identification. Alcohol is not served in certain developments of Doha, like Pearl Qatar, so it’s best to check with the restaurant before making reservations.
