BEST BITES: La Varenne - French Brasserie

So I finally got to visit the newest French restaurant in Qatar, and I must say... c'était fantastique! 

La Varenne serves top notch French cuisine. They have a breakfast and a lunch menu. The breakfast includes a very large variety of healthy options, as well as some freshly baked crepes, souffles, waffles, french toast, and croque madame etc. 

The lunch menu includes their signature starters such as the Tomato and Aubergine tart, soups, salads, fish, meat, sides and of course, my favorite, the dessert trolley. 

The chef, Stuart Collins, has previous experience with renowned Gordon Ramsey in both London and New York. Today he is the executive chef al La Varenne and The Anvil Rooms (steak house). 

All pastries and bread are baked fresh every morning by a very talented chef. 

They have a weekly business lunch menu, available on their website: www.lavarenne.qa 

I recommend trying their Rotisserie Chicken and Niçoise Salad!

Check out the pictures below, and let me know if you get to check it out :)

Bon Apetit!

BEST BITES: LeNôtre, Qatar

Not only does Lenôtre have the best menu presentation in Qatar, but their variety and quality of food is unmatched. I am yet to order something I don't enjoy at that restaurant. They have everything from soups, salads, all kinds of meats/fish/chicken, to desserts and drinks. They even have a salad bar with a great variety of options. 

At LeNôtre you get what you pay for, therefore I think the prices are very fair. 

Have you tried LeNôtre? Let me know about your experience and favorite dish!

BEST BITES: Le Relais de L'Entrecôte

Le Relais de L'Entrecôte is a steak a fries restaurant located in Porto Arabia, The Pearl - Qatar. It offers French bistrot meal of steak-frites as its only main dish, with no other option. What makes this restaurant different is the butter-based mustard sauce that they serve the steak in. The restaurant has proven to be a total success with people in London and Paris queuing for hours to dine there. However, here we are lucky that there usually is space to sit and enjoy your meal!

I enjoy eating there every once in a while. The steak is tender, juicy and flavorful - and the portion is just right! The fries are thin, crispy and always fresh! The pricing is moderate expensive. 


Did you know that: In French, the word entrecôte denotes a premium cut of beef used for steaks.
