Nobu Doha

Nobu sits on a private pier extending into the Arabian Gulf, between the Doha Corniche and The Pearl-Qatar. The circular structure floats directly above the water, apart from the city's mainland dining scenes.

This is Japanese fusion, but the location is the reason to choose it over the constrained storefronts nearby. The room runs smart and elegant, and the outdoor area offers a perspective of the skyline that the high-density plazas of Katara Cultural Village cannot replicate. You are here for the floor-to-ceiling sea views as much as the sushi, which remains more consistent than the frantic, trend-chasing kitchens often found in newer developments.
