Just wondered with the new drinking laws coming into effect not allowing serving of alcohol til after 5.30 how does this effect brunches on fridays? Anyone been to one recently? Is it total ban or limited service? Cheers

I went to one of the high end, up-market restaurants in the Ritz yesterday- supposed to be Italian- yet when I checked the kitchen the cooks were all Indian.!

Most so called international restaurants here are the same.I think I will stick to Indian places only in future, as at least then you know youre getting what you payed for., rather than paying a fortune for something that doesnt even resemble the real thing.!!

I found that the unlimited Champagne Brunch included Ozzie sparkling wine (Hardy's which is made to resemble the real thing) instead of real champagne. When are we going to get a truth in advertising law in Qatar.

can't say the Marriott's is the best in the world either foodwise but its decent...I rarely drink more than 2 glasses anyway but its the principal of the matter that I find offensive...If they are going to limit, then reduce the cost.

Probably not i'd guess. Not cheap either. In dubai u can pay as little as about 70 dhs for all-inclusive eat/drink as much as u want for 4 hrs - granted they may be not the best ones but can still pay around 130 dhs for decent one

So if they have limited it to two drinks..did they reduce the price of the brunch??? I'd venture a guess and say NOT!!!!

scarlet.. month is a loooong term for qataris laws and regulations, which are changing much more often than even qatari weather...

Yes Sheraton brunch package only includes 2 glass of champagne.. only 2! that's it... not enough i guess.

You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving!!!

Cheers mate. I heard that sheraton were continuing but just limiting it to 2 drinks per person or something. Not quite what u want at a brunch!
