Mandarin Oriental Unveils QAQAW, Its First Chocolate Café In Barahat Msheireb, Doha Offering Aromatic Drinks, Bites & More!

Qatar’s culinary scene just got sweeter, literally! Mandarin Oriental, Doha has unveiled QAQAW, a luxurious chocolate café nestled in the lively Baraha Square of Msheireb Downtown. This isn’t just another café; it’s an immersive chocolate journey blending artistry, tradition, and tantalizing flavours.

Qaqaw Brings A Chocolate Paradise To Doha

The name QAQAW draws inspiration from the ancient word for cocoa, adding a nod to Qatar with its distinctive “Q.” Step inside, and you’ll find a stunning Art Deco-inspired space where geometric elegance meets natural accents. Think polished marble, rose-toned wood, and lush greenery that transport you from Doha’s urban buzz to the serene cocoa plantations of Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Ecuador, and Indonesia.

Decadence On A Plate (And In A Cup)

QAQAW offers a mouthwatering menu that’s all about indulgence. The café curates the finest Valrhona chocolates, from the creamy Opalys white chocolate (33%) to the intense, bittersweet Komuntu dark chocolate (80%). Signature dishes include:

  • QAQAW Signature Hot Chocolate: A rich, velvety masterpiece.
  • Crème Brûlée and Gâteau au Chocolat: Desserts that redefine indulgence.
  • Crème Glacée: A frozen treat made with 64% Manjari dark chocolate for a refreshing twist.

For those who prefer savoury delights, there’s the Avocado Chicken Salad and a classic Croque Monsieur, offering a savoury balance to the sweetness.

The Interactive Dining Experience

At QAQAW, dining is more than just eating, it’s a performance. Dishes are finished tableside with artistic garnishes or a pour of decadent sauce, making every visit an experience to remember. Combine that with Mandarin Oriental’s impeccable service, and you’ve got a café that’s raising the bar for dining in Doha.
