Dining delights

Four Seasons Hotel Doha opened Nobu Doha last month, becoming Chef Nobuyuki ‘Nobu’ Matsuhisa’s biggest Nobu worldwide.

Located at the water’s edge along the hotel’s private marina, Nobu Doha showcases Chef Matsuhisa’s innovative signature new-style Japanese cuisine complemented by an equally imaginative setting in the 26,000-sq-ft contemporary restaurant.

Offering a truly exclusive culinary experience, found nowhere else, the tri-level Nobu Doha boasts the largest of its kind in the world.

'We are thrilled to open Nobu Doha and offer our discerning guests and Doha residents alike an unrivalled culinary experience – from extraordinary cuisine to awe-inspiring art and design elements, this truly is much more than just sushi and sake,' says Rami Sayess, regional vice-president and general manager of Four Seasons Hotel Doha.

'The collaboration between Nobu and Four Seasons is a perfect fusion of two celebrated brands, both recognised globally for intuitive service and innovation, and I am extremely excited for the hotel as we embark on this new chapter together and help redefine the culinary scene in Doha,' he added.

The expansive 134-seat interior dining area is ideal for large or small gatherings. There is an intimate 10-seat sushi counter, two exclusive private dining rooms, a sophisticated White Pearl Bar & Lounge, a stylish Black Pearl Bar & Lounge, and a one-of-a-kind 38-seat roof top lounge that encompasses both indoor and outdoor seating options.

Strategically positioned along the Arabian Gulf, guests can experience unobstructed panoramic water or cityscape views, whether dining inside or out.

In other news, Italian restaurant Antica Pesa has opened its doors for guests in the Qatari capital. The chain from New York and Rome offers guests authentic Italian cuisine at Doha’s new Marsa Malaz Kempinski, The Pearl - Doha.

The restaurant remains true to its 17th century family-focused roots, with four generations of the same family having managed the restaurant over the past 93 years.

Antica Pesa offers guests beautiful views of Qanat Quartier and the Arabian Gulf, with inside or outside dining on the terraces.

There is a strong theme of iconic artwork throughout the décor of the restaurant with pieces by artists such as Andy Warhol, De Chirico and Helmut Lang photos.
