Doha


Dishes here are delicately presented, from the morish creamy fresh burrata to the light, flavoursome sea bass with lobster butter. The risotto is done well, and the ribeye steaks will satisfy any carnivore's cravings. There's also a whole counter of hard-to-resist dainty cakes for afters. The hip space has parquet flooring, big chunky wooden tables, exposed painted pipework and tiles.
