Qatar like most Gulf states is home to a luxurious and diverse culinary scene. You can find all sorts of flavors and restaurants ranging from budget to lavishly expensive. If you are in the country and looking for something on the expensive end, check out some of Qatar’s finest dining restaurants.
Yasmine Palace
The name of Yasmine Palace is no exaggeration. When you walk into this Doha restaurant it can feel like you’re walking into a decadent palace, or at least one that’s restaurant sized.
Head here if you want to eat at one of Qatar’s finest dining restaurants and enjoy Persian cuisine. The interior and exterior are beautifully designed and the food is as a sight to behold as well.
Main dishes include the fish fillet mahi kebab for 185 QR and the shish burak for 105 QR.
Paper Moon Doha
For Italian food and one of Qatar’s finest dining restaurants, reserve a seat at Paper Moon Doha.
It’s a sharply designed, modern restaurant in Jaidah Square that has earned its popularity through first-class service and meals.
Classics on the menu include the beef tenderloin for 175 QR, fettucine pasta with Bolognese sauce for 85 QR and the pizza burrata for 95 QR.
Nobu
Nobu is another one of Qatar’s finest dining restaurants and it’s one that’s right on the water in West Bay Doha.
The sushi and Japanese cuisine served here are some of the best that can be found in the country, and while you savor your meal you get to enjoy a beautiful view of Qatar’s coastline.
Order anything you like as the sushi menu has a variety of options at equally varying prices but be sure not to skip over their drink menu.
They have an extensive specialty cocktails menu with drinks averaging around 100 QR, and the restaurant’s wonderful sake selection could justify a visit on its own.
Hakkasan
Hakkasan Doha located in the St. Regis Hotel is Chinese restaurant dining at its best. You can enjoy cocktails, classic Chinese dishes and go all out with the restaurant’s Dim Sum selection.
The interior of the restaurant is built around Chinese artistry and there’s an outdoor terrace for those who want to enjoy the Qatar coastal air with their meal.
But know that this restaurant is for those who appreciate the finer things in life as items on the menu routinely exceed 150 QR in price.
CUT
Last on this list of Qatar’s finest dining restaurants, head to the restaurant CUT by famous chef Wolfgang Puck. It’s an American steak restaurant and is home to (arguably) the best steaks in the country.
Head here if you want to experience the finer side of American food while enjoying meals by a renowned chef.
With prime cuts of beef and world-class dining come equivalent prices, however, so if you are looking to order steaks here be prepared for prices in the 300 QR range.
