La Mar Doha by Gastón Acurio

This is a well designed restaurant. But the ceviche tuna had strong smell. The water in glass bottle had bad metallic taste. Expiry date was two years. But this date could be influenced by storage and shipping conditions. The manager tried customer recovery but we didn’t want desert anyway.

The food is delicious, and the service was great. We visited in Summer, so it was the quiet season, as we had shorts on we had to sit outside, so wear pants if you want to sit in aircon. Apart from having to sit outside in the heat the rest of the experience was enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed the scallops and the ceviches.

An unforgettable dining experience at La Mar Doha by Gastón Acurio. We are regulars at Yakumanka in Barcelona, and once again Gastón’s world-class Peruvian cuisine exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere is stunning, with elegant décor and a vibrant, welcoming ambiance that makes the restaurant truly special. The food is simply outstanding, and the drinks—especially the Pisco Sours—were perfection. We enjoyed them so much that we ended up having more than two each! Highlights of the evening included the Cebiche Clásico, a timeless dish that never fails to impress, the Tiradito Chucuito with scallops in an exquisite sauce, and the Lomo Saltado, my personal favorite, always bursting with flavor. To make the experience even more unique, Chef Fran generously invited us—as loyal guests and fans of Gastón Acurio’s cuisine—to enjoy special treats: tender and flavorful octopus, delicate alfajores as the perfect petit fours, and refreshing fruit popsicles that crowned the evening beautifully. A heartfelt thank you to Fran and the entire team for their generosity, kindness, and professionalism—they truly made us feel at home. La Mar Doha is without doubt one of the best restaurants in the city, fully deserving of its many awards and recognitions. Highly recommended!

I don’t typically leave reviews unless I had outstanding service… but this restaurant is great. The food was amazing, drinks, service, everything. Even the hostess team! It truly makes a difference when all the employees are coming into work with positive happy energy and attitudes. Shyma (sorry if I’m spelling this wrong) a hostess was so kind, friendly and accommodating! Her energy from the moment we walked in really set the mood for the whole experience. If I was a “secret shop” (a test guest from the company to ensure quality) they would have aced it. 10/10! Great work everyone!!

The food was delicious—fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried felt thoughtfully prepared, and the flavors really stood out. Whether it was the appetizers or the main course, everything hit the mark.

Solo celebrated my birthday here and the service was Devine!! Everyone ensure I had an amazing birthday experience from the moment I walked in! The food was soooo yummy and the chocolate birthday cake was the best I have ever tasted! Can’t wait to come back next time I visit Qatar

Easily the best Peruvian food we’ve ever had! Kate and Santi provided top notch service. We enjoyed the lomo saltado, beef empanadas alongside wonderful mocktails. The steak for the lomo saltado was cooked to perfection. Update: we enjoyed the meal so much, we returned the next day! You can go wrong with this menu. Highly recommend! Update 2: Back again, some months later. La Mar Doha has been awarded a much-deserved Michelin Star - recognising them for the delicious food and service. Outstanding! Thank you, Frank (chef) and Alvin (manager) and Achraf (server) for the extra attentive service. We’ll be back again, I’m sure!

We enjoyed the experience! Such a lovely place by the beach. You can have a nice food then go for a walk by the beach. Ps: u must try the cake it was a piece of heaven ♥️
