A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We went here for drinks at sunset, but ended up being pleasantly surprised on several levels.
First, this is located in the 2nd building in Doha, and is on the 61st floor that has an excellent view of the Lusail area of Doha, and also a good sunset view.
For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz and a double shot of Canadian Clib (which their shot is close to an American one at 40ml, and at 13.50 USD). Both great.
For food got the Lobster roll. Also really good.
After visiting a mall in Dubai, we decided to check out this restaurant for drinks. It is conveniently located in a Marriott hotel (and you get a 20% discount for being a Marriott Bonvoy Gold member).
For drinks got an Aperol Spritz and a Glenfidech 12 neat.
For appetizers, got the lollipop chicken. Would probably not get that again.
Overall like the vibe and the drinks, so would come back.
Started off the morning by getting breakfast at this restaurant in Souq Waqif.
We ordered the breakfast special, which comes with a variety of dishes (which you’re supposed to eat with some sort of flat bread). Some of the food it comes with includes humans, fried cheese, an omelet of some sort, falafels. and egg mixed with some sort of
I really liked everything (did feel in different to the bean and sour cream/cheese thing though.
Also ordered a latte which tasted better than usual (probably because of the cream), and it was fairly strong.
Went to this place as our first dinner in Qatar, in the Katara Cultural Village.
This was an Armenian and Lebanese restaurant, and all the food was excellent.
For starters we got the Fatayer Spinach and the Lebanese Kebbe (filled with beef). Both really great
For our main, got the Mixed Grill, which had: one skewer each of Awsal (boneless chicken), Havov, Lamb cutlets with two skewers of kafta meat (this is basically a lamb and beef kebab)

We went here for dinner to satisfy a pizza craving.
From a friend who went to Tulum, apparently the. One of the restaurant is like every restaurant in Tulum.
For drinks, ordered an Aperol spritz.
For food, ordered a pepperoni and sausage Neapolitan pizza and a penne with shrimp pasta. Both great choices. (FYI we were going to order calamari, but yelp mentioned not to order it!).
Would come back to this place in a heart beat.
Went to this cocktail lounge after going to The Stand at around 12:30am.
They sat us in our own private room which was nice.
Ordered some whisky cocktail. All I remember is that it’s be great to come back. Also, across the street there was a place called Pete’s Tavern (pictured with the Christmas decorations below is that)
Went to this place for pre-dinner drinks (it is attached to the Moma, but not in the museum itself).
You can show up, and there is a chance you can get a lounge table at the bar (it’s a first come first serve).
We only tried the boneless chicken bucket (which comes with fries). Would get it again.
For drinks, tried a variety of drinks. From a whisky sour to a pisco sour to an espresso martini without simple syrup.
Usually we come to this place just for the stand up portion. However decided to try out the restaurant.
The clutch move about eating here before the show is that you get 10% off the food bill, and they save your seat at the show itself (which is usually downstairs( if you are not yet done eating. We started eating at 9pm, so we went the route of them saving our seat.
For drinks got the espresso martini without simple syrup.
For food, we ended up getting the shrimp cocktail, the porkchop, a steak, and the tagliatelle pasta all great options.
(FYI you can order all these at the actual show as well, but I liked eating them before the show).
We checked out this place for KBBQ (it replaced Baekjeong, which is slightly sad).
They had Toki highballs, so that’s sick.
We got the Ahgassi combo (4 different meats). The brisket and the short rib were the best meets (the pork ones were pretty bad).
The side dishes it came with were phenomenal.
Would come back again (but may stay away from the pork).
After a great dinner at Le Gratin, went to this lounge that was right beside it in the financial district.
Great architecture, vibe, and drinks.
For my first drink asked for something between an old fashion and whisky sour, but did not have simple syrup. They gave me something pretty good, but wish it was slightly sweeter (my fault for not mentioning they could have thrown table sugar in there).
For my second drink asked for a pisco sour. That was great.
Food menu looked good, it did not order anything. Next time.
