Best al fresco bars in Doha Be the first to comment 28 February 2011

Al Mourjan
Worth it for: the water almost lapping at your toes.
Try: the Al Mourjan Splash – their creation that’s like the spawn of a virgin mohito and lemon-with-mint, all poured over slushy crushed ice.

Still the only restaurant on the Corniche, it’s an old standby for solid-if-pricey Lebanese cuisine, with a view that just can’t be beaten. It’s the quintessential Doha skyline right in your face, day or night, which more than makes up for its lack of an alcohol licence. It’s a family-friendly spot to take Doha newbies and visitors alike, giving them a gentle introduction to Middle Eastern cuisine, as well as those great views of the water and the skyline.
Corniche (4483 4422). Open Sat-Wed 12.30pm-12:30am; Thu-Fri 12.30pm-1am.
