Pullman Doha West Bay Restaurants
No Pullman Doha West Bay review is complete until you’ve had an opportunity to wag your finger down each of the hotel’s marvellous menus.
The hotel boasts 6 unique food & beverage concepts, from fine dining Italian restaurant to chic cafe.
Avenue
Avenue is Pullman Doha’s signature all-day-dining restaurant concept. It’s where guests gather for daily breakfast buffets, and linger over globally inspired dishes at lunch and dinner.
The inviting space is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows that overlook West Bay. Vibrant walls, bright green and purple chairs and shiny white marble floors set the scene for an unforgettable meal.
Visit during lunch or dinner and you’ll find an a la carte menu that reads like a trip around the world. You’ll find western classics like Caesar Salad and Beef Burgers served alongside more exotic fare like Spicy Tuna Bowls, Crispy Fried Kibbeh, Rigatoni Ossobuco, Sea Bass with Lime Leaf Sauce, Chicken Biryani and Grilled Jumbo Prawn Skewers.
Bice Restaurant
Bice is the hotel’s fine dining Italian restaurant featuring elegant chandeliers, red and white striped chair cushions and pop art celebrating the noble grape.
Pullman Doha is the 7th Bice Ristorante in the world, with the original location still operating in Milan. As the Italian restaurant group approaches its 100th anniversary, the passion for food and hospitality that inspired nona Beatrice Ruggeri to open Da Gino e BiCE restaurant in 1926 is still very much alive.
Bice was recently honoured with the “Favourite Italian Casual Dining Restaurant in Qatar 2024” award at the Fact Dining Awards.
The Bice menu reads like an Italian culinary bible, featuring an extensive list of salads, pastas, risottos, pizzas, and entrees.
Creative must-try highlights from the menu include Chitarre Pasta with Omani Lobster, Risotto with Gorgonzola and Foie Gras, Slow Cooked Lamb Shank with Polenta, and Bresaola and Rocket topped pizza.
The Junction
The Junction doubles as an artistic eatery, filled with street food-inspired snacks and thirst quenching sips.
The modern cafe is dubbed a “vibrant co-working space for entrepreneurs,” conveniently open daily from 6:30am-11pm.
At breakfast the cafe serves yogurt parfaits with granola, selection of muffins, French pastries, and croissant sandwiches stuffed with smoked turkey, smoked salmon or goat cheese.
At lunch and diner The Junction offers fresh salads like Mozzarella Caprice and Quinoa Timbale, best paired with gourmet sandwiches like the Brie Florentine and Halloumi Wrap.
You can also indulge in the classic British High Tea experience by booking Afternoon Tea service which features raspberry and pistachio profiteroles, date & pecan pie, fresh fruit tart, jivara bites, assorted macaroons, and raisin scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam.
The Score
The Score is the hotel’s stylish sports bar featuring a wide variety of drinks and American-style kitchen. It was recently recognized as “Favourite Sports Bar in Qatar” at the Fact Awards 2023.
Open daily from 5pm until 2am, The Score welcomes sports fans into its casual yet chic dining room and bar.
The space features many high-definition flat screen TVs so you can enjoy any game-of-the-moment being played across the globe.
If you’re watching the game with friends we suggest starting your dinner with shareable dishes like beef chili con carne topped nachos, Asian chicken wings or cheesy fries.
Tex Mex fans can fill up on Chicharron Beef Tacos, Prawn Tacos or cheesy Chicken Quesadillas. If you’re in need of a meat fix the T-Bone Steak with chimichurri, Ribeye with sauce entrecote de Paris, or Raging Beef Burger stuffed with crispy bacon, provolone, mushrooms and chili compote will satisfy even the hungriest of bellies.
Echo Pool Cafe
With Qatar’s extreme heat there’s no better place to cool off at Pullman Doha than the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool.
If you’re feeling peckish enjoy a sip and nibble on the lavish terrace by ordering off the Echo Pool Cafe menu, which is available from 11am-10pm daily.
The menu leans healthy, boasting fresh smoothies, Acai Bowl, Ho Chi Minh Salad, Falafel Pita, Chicken Quesadilla and a more glutenous Steak Sandwich.
