LeNôtre Paris
Think chrome and blue-glass in this hip coffee shop that attracts busy professionals and be-seen sushi-eaters alike. If chocolate is your thing, there's plenty of wickedness in the designer desserts.

Al-Bandar
On a balmy evening in the cooler months, there can't be anywhere much more pleasant to enjoy the breeze than in the collection of restaurants at the end of the dhow jetty. Eccentrically shaped like dhows, with split-level wooden flooring and a garden of potted trees around the terrace, it's always brim-full with local families. Try the whole hamour wrapped in banana leaf or the barracuda and chef's spices for a taste of deeper waters.

Balhambar
For an authentic taste of Qatar, this elegant, gypsum-walled seafront restaurant serving traditional Qatari food, is highly recommended. The turtle shell and swordfish hanging in the porch give an idea of the by-gone cuisine, but there's nothing to lament in the ghuzi - a whole roasted lamb with rice, pine nuts and harees.

Qasr Al-Sahel Iranian Restaurant
Housed in the Ras Al-Nasaa, an extraordinary red and white brick complex on the southern end of Al-Corniche, the blue-tiled Qasr Al-Sahel Iranian Restaurant serves tasty and reasonably priced kebabs and hotpots. With a pontoon on the bay, this is a pleasant place to enjoy supper with views of the harbour and occasionally live Arabic music.

The Tent
Located under a Bedouin-style tent, this highly popular restaurant is a relaxed place to try delicious Arabic fare or a puff of sheesha in a traditional, carpet and sedan-style setting. The waiters are accustomed to helping non-Arabic people find their way around a Middle Eastern menu of mezze (small preparatory dishes).

Al-Sayyad
While a short way out of town, Al-Sayyad is worth visiting just for a walk through the jewel-like Diplomatic Club, with its inlaid strawberry-coloured carpets. Decorated with nets and baskets, the restaurant catches the best of the sea breeze.

Al-Shaheen
Boasting great views of the city and the sea, this rather chaotic restaurant with its bedevilling Arabic music, is nevertheless a local favourite. Apart from its nightly à la carte menu, it also offers Friday brunch.

Crepaway
This hip diner, with its scarlet walls and strips of Lichtenstein pop art, is a fun place for a snack. With a live DJ, jukebox and occasional karaoke, it's little wonder it attracts such a crowd.
