Jiwan Restaurant

Located inside the National Qatar Museum, Jiwan is a must-visit in Doha. We had a one day layover and were so glad we came here, May 21st. The staff was so helpful with recommendations. We very much enjoyed the assortment of mezze and our dessert: date souffle. Beside the top notch dishes and service, the view is absolutely stunning. Try to arrive before sunset to experience both day and evening views from the terrace. Highly recommended.

Oh it was one of the most incredible culinary experiences I have had globally. It was fine dining to the T! Incredible service, extremely professional and attentive. Great views of the Doha skyline. And of course, the absolutely incredible food and presentation. Lots of options of vegan / vegetarians. Highly recommend as one of the must visit restaurants in Doha. Great vibes and atmosphere. The crowning dish at the end was the deconstructed baklava that I dreamt about a few days ago. Would highly highly recommend if you’re visiting Doha for a meal. I’d love to come back when back in town.

Jiwan is a distinct dining experience in Doha, exemplifying generous Arabian hospitality where Alain Ducasse's high standards blend seamlessly with local traditions. The restaurant draws inspiration from the Arab and Middle Eastern regions, including North Africa, the Levant, and South Asia, offering a fusion of flavors and a modern interpretation of traditional dishes. Meals are served family-style, encouraging a communal dining experience for the entire table. Located on the fourth floor of the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ), Jiwan presents a relaxed and contemporary atmosphere. The food, while rooted in tradition, is creatively reimagined for a modern audience. Thank you to Jiwan’s team for providing an amazing lunch service!

This whole experience was majestic in so many ways. They served us every dish highlighting their cultural significance and it was almost like they were presenting their work of art ! Food was 10/10. One the best fine dining experiences I’ve ever had.

I finally tried it and it is surprisingly good. The whole experience is luxurious. The sealing has a very unique design which consists of 4000000 pearls. Jiwan means the perfect pearl that is very reflected in the place. We had the sharing mezza and it was very unique. The quality of the ingredients used was perfect. The service was attentive and knowledgable.

The food and service at Jiwan were truly above and beyond. Every dish was very wel prepared and beautifully presented, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. A must-visit spot in Doha if you’re looking for a fine dining experience with stunning views and atmosphere.

It's both indoor and outdoor, but I prefer outdoor because of the beautiful view, especially at sunset. I proved it to myself why it has been awarded a Bib Gourmand in Michelin Guide Doha 2025.

Jiwan, meaning “perfect pearl,” truly lived up to its name during our visit. This stunning restaurant offers breathtaking views of the port and the Corniche promenade, creating a memorable setting. We enjoyed the set lunch, which showcased traditional Middle Eastern cuisine with a contemporary twist—every dish was absolutely delicious and surprisingly well-priced. Jiwan is undoubtedly a must-visit dining destination in Doha.
