Jiwan Restaurant - National Museum of Qatar
Overview:
Jiwan presents Qatari cuisine in a new, exciting way, offering a refined menu that shines a light on local produce.
It is located on the fourth floor of the National Museum of Qatar and features stunning panoramic views of the Doha Corniche. From the outdoor terrace with its impressive views, visitors can look over the desert rose-inspired architecture by Jean Nouvel and the restored Palace of Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani.
The design of Jiwan Restaurant matches the menu, to give you a taste of Qatar's nature and the rich traditions associated with marine activities. The result is a calm and relaxing environment to enjoy the essence of Qatar.
Jiwan’s contemporary Qatari menu has been carefully curated to take us back to the country’s roots. Seasonal sharing dishes pay homage to indigenous ingredients. Ancient Bedouin elemental cooking techniques —fire, water, air, and earth — are used to transform textures and familiar flavours. The result is a celebration of Qatar’s future culinary identity. Simple yet sophisticated. Novel yet comfortingly nostalgic.
