Ibn AlBahr, the homegrown Michelin Bib Gourmand seafood destination, makes its Qatar debut at Alwadi Hotel Doha – MGallery Collection. Bringing the spirit of the Mediterranean coast to the heart of Msheireb Downtown, Ibn Al Bahr celebrates the warmth of Lebanese cuisine just steps away from the iconic Souq Waqif.
Rooted in heritage and inspired by the stories of fishermen, pearl divers, and coastal communities, Ibn AlBahr offers a distinctive culinary ritual. Guests are invited to select from a daily display of freshly caught seafood, prepared live over charcoal grills and served with Lebanese hospitality. This immersive experience combines tradition, flavor, and soulful storytelling.
Set against dhow-inspired details and within the vibrant heart of Msheireb Downtown, the restaurant spans 230 sqm with both indoor and outdoor seating, including a charming al fresco terrace overlooking Souq Waqif. Ibn AlBahr’s setting captures the rhythm of coastal life, creating a bridge between sea and souq, past and present.
Charbel Mhanna, CEO of Black Spoon Group, shared: “Ibn AlBahr was born by the water, created by fishermen who wanted to share the joy of gathering around the freshest catch, mezze, and the warmth of Lebanese hospitality. Our journey has taken us from Dubai to Lebanon and now to Doha, our closest coastal neighbor, where the sea has long connected communities. Its vibrant spirit and deep cultural roots make it the perfect home for our next chapter. Partnering with Alwadi Hotel – MGallery Collection felt natural; its location by Souq Waqif and philosophy of meaningful hospitality align perfectly with our brand. Together, we aim to offer guests authentic flavors, an immersive journey, and a true sense of togetherness.”
Jad Doumet, General Manager of Alwadi Hotel Doha – MGallery Collection, added: “Welcoming Ibn AlBahr to our hotel is about enriching the guest experience with something truly exceptional. In the heart of Msheireb and steps from Souq Waqif, this elite addition sets a new benchmark for Mediterranean seafood dining in Doha. With its fresh ingredients, open seafood display, and décor inspired by the sea, Ibn AlBahr offers an immersive journey that complements our vision of meaningful hospitality, creating a place where guests can connect, share, and savor memorable moments.”
The arrival of Ibn AlBahr in Qatar marks an important chapter for the brand, shaped by regional demand and Qatar’s commitment to hospitality and culture.
