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.

Kebabs of prawns, fish, lamb and chicken are tastefully treated with Iranian spices, accompanied by plain or saffron rice. The ambience of a top-end restaurant is enhanced by the fine interior, with the antique paintings and rugs on the walls complementing the lighting perfectly. Start your visit with lemon juice and mint.

Sultan Ibrahim is also called the Fish Market Restaurant because of its wide selection of the freshest fish from the Arabian Gulf cooked in Arabic and Far Eastern style. It’s ideally situated on the beachfront, offering panoramic views of the sea. Guests are entertained with performances by the resident belly dancer and a one-man show. The restaurant is closed on Saturdays.
