FACT Dining Awards - Best and Favourite restaurants in Doha
FACT Qatar Magazine hosted the prize giving ceremony for its highly successful FACT Dining Awards 2015 campaign on Monday at Doha Marriot Hotel. Over 250 guests enjoyed a night of entertainment, food and drink, as the winners from the 28 categories were announced.
The FACT Dining Awards recognises excellence in the food and beverage industry, with winners awarded based on both public vote and critics' opinion.
Each category was given two awards, which were divided into a popular choice decided through online voting, and a critics' choice decided by an independent panel of Qatar bloggers and industry experts.
This month's event marked the first time that the campaign was staged in Qatar. Qatar Living was a media partner for the awards and played a major role in making it the biggest FACT Dining Awards in the region based on number of votes.
Below is a list of all winners, Best and Favourite, for all categories.

Congratulations to all restaurants and outlets that were voted Best and/or Favourite.
QLers, what is your favorite restaurant in Qatar?
Best Sushi?!
Baldrick: it's been a long time. Glad to see you're still around
Personally, I love Mongolian Attila; I like the fact that I can personalize my dish by choosing my ingredients, the whole cooking spectable right before the customer's eye and the original Asian-style gong when you dish is ready for pick-up.
acchabaccha, completely agree! The only place I know in the list is Costa...
Errr, it's the DINING awards, not eating awards.
All the restaurants in the list are at 5-star hotels which is simply beyond the reach of the common man. The restaurant where i get to eat provides excellent taste at just QR 20. It also allows me the freedom to lick my fingers in the end! To me, it is far better then the ones mentioned above.
there is one in Abu Hamour Petrol station , it serve a perfect egg Sandwish with tea, WHY THEY DIDNT MENTION IT ?
Almost all ............. when you are invited for parties & celebrations and company functions ....... then you must attend happily & appreciate and praise them all .. . for their efforts giving you the honour .......... ......................................
