Simply divine. As cliche as it may sound, this is a feast for the senses! From the decor, the service and attention to detail, not to mention the food, this is hands down Doha's finest restaurant.
The only problem -- and everyone knows it: no wine. The Pearl is still dry and therefore you can't have a bottle of Montrachet to go with your crispy skinned seabass. You can't have a bottle of burgundy with your veal sweetbreads.
This is a tragic situation and even the Qataris that frequent this restaurant would agree.
The alcohol ban must be overturned or Doha will likely lose its top culinary destination. I cannot imagine Mr. Savoy wanting to continue having his name associated with this silliness and I would bet that the second the contract runs its course, he will take his name, along with his talented staff, to greener pastures.
