The Canal Floor branch has an outdoor terrace of dark tables and cream parasols beside the water, with the mall’s pale arches across the canal. It gives lunch a different setting from the food court, while keeping the menu familiar to anyone who knows the brand.\n\nChicken katsu pairs panko-coated chicken with rice, curry sauce and salad. Grilled-chicken ramen is another modest main; rice bowls and stir-fried noodles give the table more choice. The Qatar menu also includes tofu and vegetable dishes, so mixed groups can find different meals without all ordering the same thing.\n\nOne main keeps spending fairly straightforward. Gyoza, bao and other small plates are additions, and a few shared dishes plus drinks can take the bill well beyond a single bowl. Children have a separate menu. For allergies, speak to the team before ordering: a vegetarian marker, a noodle substitution or a shared dish does not by itself resolve ingredient and cross-contact questions.\n\nThe branch combines naturally with the rest of Place Vendôme. Mini Le Mans at Trocadéro is a separate karting booking in the same mall, with its own eligibility and session cost. Keep the restaurant and karting as two visits, allowing time to move between them. Lusail Marina is another journey: take a local car rather than treating the mall and waterfront as one continuous stroll.\n\nThis is a lunch or early-dinner option for a city day. Give Friday prayer closure and the actual serving hours their place in the plan, and use the branch’s booking arrangements for a larger party. Staying for a meal here never guarantees that a late return from the circuit will reach an open kitchen.\n\n![Parasol-shaded terrace table at Wagamama, Place Vendôme]()\n\nLocal & casual dining **Wagamama, Place Vendôme** Doha and Lusail\n\nCanal-side terrace approach to Wagamama at Place Vendôme\n\nParasol-shaded terrace table at Wagamama, Place Vendôme\n\nChicken katsu curry, rice and salad at Wagamama, Place Vendôme\n\n04 / Before you go\n\n### Plan your visit\n\n#### Food budget & menu\n\n≈ QAR 70 per person for one main.

Larger orders and sharing dishes change the per-person spend.\n\n[View the menu]()\n\n#### When to go\n\nPlan lunch or an early dinner and call +974 4046 0829 for that day’s serving hours and last orders. The branch closes for Friday prayers 12:00–13:00. No midnight or post-race kitchen arrival is promised.\n\nAllow 60–90 minutes for a meal, plus the mall approach.\n\n#### Getting there\n\nLusail / Place Vendôme, Canal Floor\n\nFind Wagamama on the Canal Floor of Place Vendôme, phone +974 4046 0829. Use the mall’s current drop-off and directory for the restaurant; agree a named mall pickup because the restaurant is inside on the Canal Floor. Raffles and Fairmont guests need a local car to the mall. From West Bay or central Doha, compare a direct car with the Red Line to Legtaifiya and a separate car. Use a tram option only when the required route and stops are operating.\n\n[Get directions]()\n\n#### Before you book\n\nCall +974 4046 0829. The brand’s branch page takes reservations for groups of eight or more; smaller groups ordinarily walk in and may wait. Friday prayer closure is 12:00–13:00. Outdoor seating, group arrangements, exact serving hours and kitchen last orders need the branch’s agreement.\n\n[Venue details & contact]()\n\nThe menu uses wheat, egg, soy, sesame, fish and shellfish in different dishes. Tell the team about allergies before ordering; the Qatar menu warns that shared kitchens cannot guarantee dishes free of allergenic ingredients. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are identified separately.\n\n#### Your return journey\n\nReturn to an agreed mall taxi pickup, allowing time to leave the Canal Floor. Take a local car back to Raffles or Fairmont, or a car to Legtaifiya for a southbound Red Line connection while all services operate. West Bay and central Doha hotels need the final station approach and any Msheireb interchange. If the last usable connection has gone, take a licensed car directly to the hotel; the restaurant’s closing time does not extend train service.\n\n#### Accessibility\n\nAsk for the accessible mall entrance, lift route to the Canal Floor, suitable table and toilet arrangements. Do not infer a step-free terrace or accessible toilet from the mall address; the branch needs to establish the complete route for your party.\n\n### Location & nearby places\n\nExplore around Wagamama, Place Vendôme\n\n The map will load when you reach it.\n\n06 / Good to know\n\n### Wagamama, Place Vendôme: frequently asked questions\n\n01 Can I eat at Wagamama, Place Vendôme after the Qatar Grand Prix?\n\nUse Wagamama, Place Vendôme for an ordinary city meal.
