All the new restaurants and bars, menus and dishes you need to try as the weather heats up… From the alluring bar at Doha’s newest five star hotel, to unlimited hotpot and also, a well priced Omakase menu; here’s where (and what) to eat and drink in Doha this month. Stoke and Stoker at Rosewood Doha Stoke and Stoker is a huge space in the quietly luxurious new Rosewood Doha. With comfy leather chairs, alcoves for tastings and small events, and a sea facing outdoor terrace. It’s also smoke free. Cocktails play on the “Art of Travel” and there is a full Zero Proof menu. On the drinks menu are spirits and wines you can’t find in other hotels in Doha – I spied at least five gins that are new to market plus the whisky list (and accompanying tasting suite) very much have my full my attention this Summer. Nobu Summer Omakase Much anticipated every year, the Summer Omakase at Nobu is a selection of Chef’s favorite dishes for QR295 and QR195 for the drinks pairing. It’s available Monday to Saturday for dinner from 6pm and is a great way to sample the iconic Nobu Doha menu, or just keep your love for the place alive during the long, hot summer. Vietnamese Pho Hotpot at Hannan Kitchen This Bin Mahmoud venue has rightly garnered attention for their sensational Burmese food. But this Vietnamese Pho hotpot deal is very enticing. Unlimited hotpot for QR99 which includes the broth of your choice, veggies, meat, noodles; plus appetizers and salads and more. My tip? Go for the hotpot, stay for the Burmese couple snacks (trust me). Saturday Roast at Malibu Kitchen Everyone loves a roast. This comfort food classic makes a welcome showing at The Ned Doha. The meal kicks off with shared starter followed by a roast meat platter with all of the trimmings (yes, even Yorkshire pudding). Available every Saturday from 12.30pm to 4.30pm for QR175 food only and QR275 for a selection of beverages. I’m pleased to see this hotel’s F&B offerings start to hit their straps in 2025. Mr & Mrs Hawker Opening just a couple of months ago, the Andaz Doha’s second dining venue Mrs & Mrs Hawker plays on Qatar’s love of Asian cuisine – with a very welcome emphasis on the Lion city of Singapore. The current soft launch truncated menu though is solidly Singaporean in its focus, thanks to a veteran chef in the kitchen and the sourcing of the ingredients from the city state. The take on iconic Hainan Chicken rice was almost perfect. The rice enriched by the fatty chicken broth, the chicken was equal turns silky and juicy. Specifically the ginger-garlic sauce – the missing element was noted and I think we will see this in the future. The Singapore fried noodles come with either chicken (QR70) or shrimp (QR75) and is a delicious tangle of flavors and textures and just enough sauce. Dim sum of the day (QR45) was also a welcome surprise – plump, steamed chicken siu mai. Bentley’s at Radisson Blu Changing a menu at a much-loved restaurant is a tough task, especially one as iconic as Bentley’s Grill at the Radisson Blu. But times change and Bentley’s Grill has recently unveiled a refreshed menu, with a range of new items. The Angus beef tartare (QR130) is one of the prettiest dishes in Doha right now, the silky, high quality ground beef is topped with an intricate web. And, Bentley’s Burger (QR130) – can you believe Bentley’s has never had a burger on the menu? Worth the wait – a brioche bun, a faint whiff of truffle and melty Gruyere cheese. Meanwhile an Asian duck breast (QR100) – how duck should be served, with a sweet honey sauce and perfectly rendered skin. Mio Contemporary Pizzeria Mio Contemporary Pizza opened in West Bay this month and it’s clear a lot of thought, effort and love has gone into this venture by the chefs Andrea and Alfonso. There’s a separate oven for gluten free pizzas and bread, they use rice flour for the dusting to keep this clean as well. They have sandwiches and gelato on the menu. And of course, strong, excellent coffee plus house made tiramisu. A true contemporary pizza is characterised by its light, long-rising dough, high, dimpled crust, the use of organic tomatoes and stone-ground flour and the choice of artisan ingredients. The capricciosa, is my undoing. Veal ham, artichokes, olives and mushrooms . There are also white pizzas (four cheeses, well, five actually) and even a spicy Diavola with njuda and onion confit. In a city filled with chain pizzas; mid approximations of pizza and self proclaimed experts, this is pretty much the real deal. Spice Bags at Shamrock Tavern The Shamrock Tavern in West Bay is the first to offer this TikTok famous phenom in Doha. For QR65 you can choose chunky chips or fries to go with your bag full of goodness. The “mix” includes peppers and onion and a solid dusting of five spice and more. The curry sauce is on the right side of thick and has a warm, comforting kick to it. They also serve with a pot of sweet chilli sauce for something different.It’s just greasy enough And very, very tasty. Are you in Doha or traveling this Summer?
