Have dinner up in the sky and in sea
DOHA: This year’s Qatar International Food Festival (QIFF) highlights a unique gastronomic sensation offering visitors dinner in the sky and the sea when it opens on Thursday at the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) Park.
‘Dinner in the Sky’ by W Hotel and Residences Doha will let food lovers experience dining 40 metres up in the air, while The Diplomatic Club offers dining in the sea on its gentle drifting BBQ Donut crafts.
Organised by Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) and Qatar Airways, the fourth edition of QIFF is set to be four days of family fun with gastronomic alfresco eating, drinking and cooking.
QIFF will tempt visitors’ taste buds with samples of delicious five-star cuisines from around the world. Internationally renowned chefs will join many of Doha’s finest hotels and restaurants to celebrate fine dining with the freshest ingredients, latest food trends and healthy eating options.
QIFF is also introducing Qatar Airways’ Cooking Theatre where award-winning celebrity TV chefs Ramzi Choueiri, from Lebanon, and Vineet Bhatia, from India, will be joined by Grand Hyatt Doha’s Chef David Okuda to demonstrate a few of their signature dishes. German Junior Master Chef, Valentin Krapf, will also be on hand to show youngsters how to cook a menu of healthy snacks and meals.
Engineer Issa Al Mohannadi, Chairman of QTA, said: “With just days to go before the 4th Qatar International Food Festival, Qatar Tourism Authority and Qatar Airways are thrilled for what we believe will be our best festival to date. This year we are not only bringing delicious food from the best restaurants and hotels in Doha, but we are adding some exciting treats for those that really enjoy the art of cooking. We look forward to seeing everyone and their families at the festival again this week.”
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said the event promises to be one of the most exciting in its history.
“Qatar Airways is delighted to have teamed up with the Qatar Tourism Authority to put together this wonderful culinary festival that will undoubtedly appeal to people of all ages and we look forward to bringing an exciting flavour of activities for all to enjoy over four days,” he said.
QIFF is open to the public on Thursday from 6pm to 11pm, Friday (1pm to 11pm), Saturday (1pm to 10pm) and Sunday (2pm to 10pm). Food and drink vouchers will be sold at the event.

You took the words out of my mouth :O)
Go F*CK yourself!
agreed, i like the dish on the left ;)
so when it will be?
I would luv to go but the charges wont allow me to..... its too expensive
nice bathroom for birds flying in the sky...
Seriously, Brit, it could be such an opportunity to taste so many cuisines and delicacies. I would love to visit and try out various food items in one place.
Infact, if somebody organizes an event to invite sort of official representatives from various countries to show case their food items, so many people would be willing to do it for free, just to tell others about their culture and food.
The sad thing is that all such events turn out to be business opportunities rather than any thing else.
Nice way of looting peoples
This tells you that these promotions are put together by "event organisors" who are only there to make money.
Yup brit..sometimes it is really disappointing.. Like the Innovate Qatar Exhibition recently..Interviews in the radio and other bla bla bla was that entrepreneurs will be exhibiting their innovations but when I went there Ohh it was like 98% trade fair and 2% innovation...damn..
got to agree with you BE.
500 for 3 course menu for dinner in the sky. Rip off...why the hell I would do that?
QR 140 for VIP entrance.
Vouchers..The minimum starts at QR 40/-
You are always welcome :P...good for the new generation of qlers..:P
I am always a little confused by such "festivals"..
Surely the idea of a Food Festival is to promote the foods of different countries or local eateries.
Therefore, the food should be subsidised and cheap.
Am I missing something ?
Just for confirmation
LLr...Thanks my friend ;)
Thank you alredoo for reminding me why I'm no longer active on QL...
I think I read that they wont be serving alcohol up in the sky..
alredoo: get a sense of humour!
hahahah after few glasses to go to loo loo loo ((: I need to google this pee thing to know something more deeper.
So is this experience not for the muslims as some one mentioned WINE
No LLR, but after a couple of glasses of vino, I too need to pee like a pregnant lady ;-)
BB: Hahahahahahahaha! Amazingly Weird choice to pee. Lolz! Dinner to peeing took like 5 posts. We all have our own problems :D
One is pregnant, other is looking for a towering stream of pee, and the forum is Dinner! Ya it all makes sense :) lolz!
