Al Bandar (‘port’ in Arabic) is a distinctive dhow-shaped complex right next to The Corniche. With the Arabian Sea on one side and bustling Doha on the other, you have the choice of eating inside or sitting out facing the water. Besides coffee shops that offer French pastries, Al Bandar houses three restaurants: Al Sharqi, specialising in Lebanese and Syrian delicacies, The Marhaba Fish Market, offering eastern and western-style seafood, and Al Gharbi, which serves local cuisine.

Al Mandaloun is one of the few places in Doha where drinks are served, and it has a top-notch wine list. The restaurant is perched on top of the eight-storey Al Fardan Centre, within the commercial hub of the city. It has a relaxed ambience, enhanced by the wood panelling and fine art on the walls. Dishes are Middle Eastern and live music and belly dancing are also on offer—but only if you make reservations in advance.

With elegant table settings, windows facing the Corniche, and a view of the whole city, the atmosphere of Al Shaheen is set for romance. The restaurant has an a la carte menu offering a wide variety of Middle Eastern dishes, and there’s a live band playing international and Arabic music with belly dancers to boot.

An American diner with a moderately priced menu, Applebee’s is a casual, friendly place and an excellent spot to meet friends.

Bukhara is a typical Indian eaterie with staff neatly decked out in baggy pantaloons. Huge tree trunks give the look of a forest and the dim lighting creates an enchanting ambience. The restaurant offers various curries and kebabs, all of which can be washed down with lassi, a serving of yogurt blended with water, ice and sugar. Bukhara is a smash hit and is only five minutes away from the Corniche.
