Take a break from watching the Fifa World Cup and explore Doha’s ever expanding dining scene
Doha, the capital city of Qatar, is located in the Middle Eastern region of the Persian Gulf and is known for its futuristic architecture and multiculturalism. According to the World Population Review, Qatar has over 90 different nationalities, with the Qataris making up less than 15 per cent of its total population.
It’s not surprising then that the city has a vibrant dining scene, and is home to a plethora of delectable cuisines from all over the world.
With the FIFA World Cup taking place in the capital city from November 20 to December 18, the spotlight is on Qatar. Who knows, you may even be inspired to book your next holiday trip there.

Catch the view at… Three Sixty Restaurant
Perched atop The Torch Hotel is Three Sixty, a Mediterranean restaurant offering a picturesque 360-degree view of Doha’s skyline. The a la carte menu is extensive, featuring dishes such as the herb-crumbed sea bass baked until beautifully crisp on the outside with a soft and flaky interior. It’s brought together with the addition of eggplant caponata, parsnip carrot puree and saffron-flavoured citrus sauce. Prefer meat? The lamb shank is braised for eight hours until fork-tender and served on a bed of fluffy rice. Wash these dishes down with a mocktail or two—the orange mint cooler offers a refreshing medley of orange juice, apple juice, lime juice, mint, ginger, honey and green apple.
