The St. Regis Doha has confirmed that its signature restaurant will be Astor Grill, serving modern French cuisine.
The outlet has been designed by Rockwell Group as a tribute to John Jacob Astor IV, the founder of the first St. Regis Hotel in New York City which was popularised by chef Escoffier’s guide culinaire – a twist on traditional French cooking.
A five-metre-high smoke sculpture at the entrance of the restaurant will set the scene for the steakhouse, which will serve traditional dishes such as Lobster Bisque and Steak Tartar, a variety of grill items including Kobe Beef as well as a wide selection of fresh seafood.
Tareq Derbad, hotel general manager, said: “We are delighted to open Astor Grill as the first signature restaurant at our hotel. We are confident that the opening of Astor Grill will prove to be popular among our international guests and local residents, providing an interactive modern dining experience.”
Brendan McGowan, executive chef at The St. Regis Doha, added: “Astor Grill will offer guests a unique culinary experience where we bring cooking out of the kitchen and directly at our guests’ tables. The menu will feature exquisite cuisine inspired by world-renowned Chef Escoffier and guests will enjoy a variety of signature French dishes prepared with only the freshest ingredients. I am thrilled to bring this exciting new concept to international guests and local residents alike.”
Another restaurant in the hotel, which is set to open on February 28, is by UK celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
