Jiwan Restaurant Manager Alexandre Grimaud
Doha: Jiwan, an iconic landmark at the National Museum of Qatar is well geared to stun FIFA World Cup fans and guests with some of the surprises that is sure to add to the fun-filled memories that they will be taking home, Jiwan Restaurant Manager Alexandre Grimaud (pictured) told The Peninsula during a brief interview yesterday.
The restaurant is fully booked for this month and the next which makes us all the more excited about the World Cup season which is a boon for Jiwan, he said.
The stunning location perched on the fourth floor of the National Museum of Qatar has become a ‘never to miss’ destination for unwinding and reviving with some of the unique culinary delights by world renowned chefs.
We will havea full house per service during the FIFA Cup and guests would comprise sporting stars, artistes, from embassies, VIPs and business personalities from across the globe, Grimaud said.
The breath-taking restaurant is an essential chapter in the museum’s storytelling experience. The design works in harmony with the menu to offer visitors a taste of Qatar’s nature and rich traditions linked to activities by the sea. The result is a calming, comfortable environment to enjoy the essence of Qatar.
Morgan Perrigaud who head the chefs team and with Executive Chef Jeremy Cheminade brings glamour and glitter to the restaurant.
Alexandre Grimaud who heads the restaurant hailing from the city of Montpellier in the south of France, began his career in the hospitality sector about ten years ago in France after finishing a degree in Commerce and Sales.
Inspired by Qatar’s nature and Bedouin lifestyle, Jiwan’s unique design by prominent architect, Koichi Takada appeals to the curious explorer who likes to wander through the past to enjoy a new understanding of the world around thewm. Guests are invited to dine amongst the dunes of Khor Al Udaid (Inland Sea) or experience extraordinary seascape views from the outdoor terrace where they will enjoy a close connection to the sea.
