The Mall of Qatar, the largest shopping and lifestyle destination in the country, is set to bring some of the world’s foremost food and beverage (F&B) brands under one roof.

With its commitment to providing visitors and residents of Qatar an unparalleled shopping experience, the mall will have the largest and most extensive culinary offers in a mall across the region.

From cafes, fast to casual to fine dining, more than 100 F&B outlets will make their presence felt when the retail destination opens its doors later this year.

Representing 30 per cent of the mall F&B outlets, the new entrants in the Qatar market will include Cheesecake Factory, Babel, Eataly, Greek Fresh, New York Fries, Sazeli, Texas Roadhouse, TWG Tea Salon & Boutique and Zafran, said a statement from the retailer.

A selection of fine dining restaurants and the world class food pavilion have strategically been located overlooking the Oasis that will feature live shows by the resident troupe.

Visitors can experience a multi-sensory dining encounter while relaxing in front of the interactive dancing fountains and enjoying the entertainment with friends or families. The Oasis has a capacity to seat around 2,600 people in addition to over 4,500 people standing around the stage on both levels, it stated.

“At Mall of Qatar we actively thought about what Qatar needed and then designed and re-designed our space to excite, thrill, and engage; a place where people can find their own oasis. We thought about the choices our visitors would want and we believe we have catered to all tastes within the food pavilion" remarked Rony Mourani, the general manager, Mall of Qatar.

"Tapping into new eating and leisure trends, we decided early on that we wanted a gathering place to captivate our visitors. Our vision was to bring together a community of all nationalities, and to become the destination in Qatar," noted Mourani.

Mall of Qatar, he stated, had gone the extra mile to bring in the finest culinary sensations from the four corners of the globe.
International flavours surround the Oasis on two levels that include La Casa Twenty Eight, Shake Shack, Debs w Reman, Carluccio's, Uno Chicago Grill, Dip N Dip, Royal Tandoor, Hasan Kolcuoglu and Si El Sayed Restaurant.

"Whether it is local, Continental, Mediterranean, Asian or a variety of international cuisine, Mall of Qatar will serve up the most diverse taste sensations to suit every unique visitor that arrives. Furthermore, globally acclaimed cafes like Godiva, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Starbucks, Café Bazza, Paul Café and Mokarabia will cater to the taste buds of all ages," remarked Mourani.

Expected to receive a footfall of 20 million customers annually, the Mall of Qatar includes 7,000 underground and surface car parking spaces, 500 shops and a 19 screen Cineplex including a superior 3D Imax screen, and a 5-star 200 bedroom luxury and fashion hotel operated by Curio Collection from Hilton.-TradeArabia News Service
