Trader Vic’s Doha, which opened in April 2012 at the Hilton Doha, has plans to undergo an expansion and renovation later this year.

The outlet, which was highly commended at the Caterer Middle East Awards 2016, as the Restaurant Team of the Year - Hotel Managed Outlet, represents, according to director of operations Julien Besançon, more than 25% of the total F&B revenue of the hotel.

At the end of this year, once all permits have been signed off, Besançon hopes that the restaurant will undergo an extensive renovation to the outdoor space.

The plans include a second entrance, a smoking area, a small terrace off to one side supported by pillars, and at the end of the pier, a structure with a thatched roof with a BBQ and bar.
