For Harry Potter, Football, and Racing Fans: Themed Cafes and Restaurants in Qatar

Pilates with cats? Dining like a Hollywood star? Drinking coffee on an ice chair? Doha has a themed place for everybody. Here’s the list of the ten unusual themed cafes and restaurants in Qatar you must check out. 

Fireplace and happy hour

Are you a Gryffindor? If you're unsure, you may need to experience the magical world of Harry Potter to ensure you're not a Slytherin. At the Hogwarts Restaurant, you'll enjoy classic burgers and drinks that look like vapors from a potion. The environment is truly magical, with special details like a reference to the cart crash when Harry Potter missed his train and ran into the column. It's a special experience made for grand wizards and witches. 

Pricing: QAR 30–100

Coffee and painting

Not only is this a creative cafe for artists, but their food is a work of art as well. From incredible dishes to a relaxing time painting, you will feel refreshed with the peace you leave with after spending time here. The Artist Cafe is great for those looking to be more present and create something to express themselves. 

Pricing: QAR 25–50 

Gourmet pastries, pink everywhere

Are you traveling with a group of people who all have different dining preferences? Consider Rosemary Cafe for its range of dishes. They offer Greek, Italian, and popular Middle Eastern meals. In addition to the variety of food, they have an eye-catching theme: you'll be surrounded by pink flowers everywhere, even on the ceiling, and an almost candlelit environment that is excellent for taking a pause in your busy day. It lets you escape into a quiet, relaxing place and plan your next adventure.

Beach vibes and Katara waterfront

The crisp blue water in view from Boho Social will make you want to take a longer vacation. If you aren't an outdoors person, the inside will allow you to feel the boho beach vibes without getting sand in your shoes. Boho Social is mostly a breakfast place, so it’s best enjoyed in the morning. Also, it gets pretty busy during these hours, so make a reservation at least a day in advance.

Lively, football-themed

Football is extremely popular, and what better way to get invested in a game than at a football-friendly restaurant? It offers a variety of foods, and the BBQ chicken is a scrumptious choice to fuel your excitement. With chairs matching various team colors, Kickoff Restaurant is the perfect place to watch a game without interruptions.

Cats, coffee, yoga

Nothing beats a cat cafe. While it is a classic coffee shop, Nine Lives has done an amazing thing: it houses stray cats, so they aren't on the street!

The incredible staff has high standards and ensure the cleanliness of every inch in the restaurant, so you can bond with animals without worrying about hygiene.
