CHIC Eats

Celebrated as one of Andalusia’s most renowned, Chef Dani Garcia makes his way yet again to the ultimate culinary destination hotel, Marsa Malaz Kempinski, with his first branch of Lobito De Mar outside of Spain. As the name suggests, the restaurant is devoted to the innermost world of the sea and beyond; promising the finest Mediterranean cuisine in Doha. It is much more than just a beach restaurant, it’s also a seafood tapas bar, making it the latest sunset spot in the city.

Lobito is a two-storey restaurant with large terraces showcasing unparalleled views overlooking the Arabian Gulf. Diners have the option to experience an all-day eatery in the main room downstairs or fine dining by the sea for that perfect romantic escape. There’s even a lively ambience with a resident DJ on the decks after dinner, for whatever the mood may be.

The moment you enter this establishment, the atmosphere is a tranquil oasis, with wide windows maximising natural light at lunchtime. Typical Mediterranean interiors, all white and high-quality wooden furniture give a spacious serene look and relaxing vibe.

Inspired by the beautiful coastline of Marbella, Dani’s moto is “think local, cook global” – he describes himself as an artisan of flavour. His originality and imagination to be able to combine the products of his homeland together with the techniques and ingredients of such an international cuisine will suit a variety of palates and are the reason his food is unique.
