What’s so special about L’WZAAR?

Giving you the full ocean-to-table experience, right by the beach in contemporary Katara, this is where you want to dine in Doha. Once you’ve spotted the most alluring fish or crustacean in our counter (charged by weight), you can decide how you’d like it cooked – in Mediterranean, Far Eastern, Arabic or Japanese style. Our waiters can then guide you through the selection of starters, salads, soups and drinks. The dining room is buzzing and vast, so you might be seated on fuchsia floor cushions, on cream leather banquettes, or on stools up at the bar – and while some tables have sea views, others invite you to keep a watchful eye on the slick open kitchen.

Like it fresh?

Our local fish and shellfish is hauled directly from dhow to counter-top on a daily basis, but we also go to great lengths to import the finest foreign varieties: our salmon, mussels, clams, scallops, sea bass, tuna, mud crabs, cockles and oysters arrive twice a week from Europe, and we make sure they travel from source to plate with as little fuss as possible. All of these offerings are all lined up in the market area, all shimmery-gilled and bright-eyed, so you can pick your dinner. The daily list is made up of 47 items, among which Emirati favourites include sherri fish, hammour and safi.

If you’re planning to impress a loved one or host a dinner party, you can pick up a couple of beauties to prepare at home – you’ll be charged by weight as you would in the restaurant. Just ask if you need help filleting.
