Nobu Doha

Black cod with miso, yellowtail with jalapeño and rock shrimp tempura are familiar reasons to book Nobu. The combination of Japanese cooking, cold dishes, hot plates and sushi gives a table plenty to share, whether you begin with those signatures or try something else from the menu.

The Doha setting adds to the evening. Nobu occupies its own sculptural building beside the Four Seasons marina, with the waterfront making the arrival part of the occasion. It is a good dinner to give a free evening to, when you can enjoy the meal without timing it around the return from Lusail.

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices are available, with advance notice for specific requirements. Friday brunch and Saturday lunch provide daytime alternatives to dinner. The restaurant closes on Sundays, so put a Grand Prix-week visit earlier in the stay. For a family meal, the restaurant’s child ages and sitting rules determine which lunch or dinner you can book.
