Six of the Top Places to Eat in Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup
From Gulf and Levantine specialties to monumental steaks.
When fans descend on Qatar for the men’s FIFA World Cup later this month, the conservative Muslim landscape will be unfamiliar to a lot of them. The city’s high-end restaurants, however, will be very recognizable.
Of course, there’s a Nobu in Doha. (After all, there are more than 40 locations of the high-end Japanese restaurant worldwide.) And, like so many international financial capitals, you can also find a Coya, Hakkasan and CUT by Wolfgang Puck. In addition, celebrity chefs Alain Ducasse, Jean-Georges Vongerichten and the Peruvian ceviche expert Gastón Acurio have outposts in Qatar. These restaurants are all attached to hotels, which — pro tip — generally have special licenses to serve alcohol in a country where few independent places do.
