There is a great variety of restaurants in Qatar - everything from well-known fast food outlets to local fast-food outlets (known as shawarma stands) to first-class restaurants. You can dine on just about any ethnic cuisine you desire - with more restaurants opening all the time. Dining out is quite inexpensive (except for the restaurants in the major hotels), hence being a major past-time here. Take-away and delivery are abundant. Most expatriates will put on weight during their first year here!

Questions & Answers
Question:
What are the rules and law regarding the use of Alcohol since this is a Muslim country?
  Answer:
Restaurant You are not allowed to bring alcohol into Qatar at all. Any item like this in your luggage or container will be confiscated.

Alcohol use is restricted to bars and restaurants in hotels. No other restaurants are licensed to sell alcohol.

There is one distributor of alcohol and an expatriate must have a permit to be able to purchase liquor. The permit costs QR 1000, which is a refundable deposit. You can only apply for the permit once your RP (Residence Permit) is confirmed. Your employer has to provide a "Letter of no objection" to state that they have no problem with you obtaining this permit. Your permit then has a limited quota for the month and is renewable on an annual basis.
