The restaurants on this list cluster in a handful of places: hotel dining rooms at the InterContinental Doha and The St. Regis Doha, Katara Cultural Village, Porto Arabia, and two streets, Andalucia Way and Alhambra Street. The cooking runs from Greek and Chinese to Levantine, Lebanese and Indian. What we weighed hardest was the clock: one kitchen never closes, three run past midnight on at least some nights, and one opens at 7:00. This list is for visitors who plan meals around their own day, not around a concierge's suggestions. Where a familiar name appears, it is because the hours or the address earn the place. Every address, hour and phone number below carries a citation, so you can check it before you get in a taxi.

  1. 1

    Mykonos Doha

    Beach & Spa, Street 900, Bldg. No. 25, Zone 61 Al Dafna InterContinental Doha, Doha, Qatar

    Greek cooking at the InterContinental Doha's Beach & Spa, served without a break from 12:00 to 23:30 every day

    Street 900, Bldg. No. 25, Zone 61 is an address only a courier could love, and it leads to Mykonos Doha at the Beach & Spa of the InterContinental Doha in Al Dafna. The kitchen is Greek, and service runs straight through from 12:00 to 23:30, Monday to Sunday, so a late lunch is as legitimate here as a late dinner. Skip the hotel buffets that try to cook every country at once; a kitchen that commits to one is the better bet. The official site is a booking page, and the phone line is +974 4484 4919. We'd use the unbroken hours: come mid-afternoon, order slowly, and let lunch turn into the evening.

    Astor Grill

    The St. Regis Doha, Doha, Qatar

    Two separate daily services, lunch from 12:00 to 15:30 and dinner from 18:00 to 23:30, at The St. Regis Doha

    Astor Grill at The St. Regis Doha runs two separate services a day: 12:00 to 15:30 and 18:00 to 23:30, Monday to Sunday. The gap matters. Turn up at 16:00 and you will be reading the door. The cuisine is listed as international, a word that often signals a menu with no convictions, so we'd order toward the grill the name promises. Skip the all-day hotel dining rooms that never close and never focus; a kitchen that shuts between services is one that resets. Details are on the hotel's dining page, and the direct line is +974 4446 0127.

    Hakkasan

    The St. Regis, Doha, Qatar

    A Chinese lunch service that runs from 12:00 to 16:00 every day of the week

    Call +974 4446 0170 before you set out for Hakkasan, which sits inside the St Regis hotel in Doha. The name will be familiar to many visitors, so the case has to rest on this address, and the case is lunch. The Chinese kitchen opens at 12:00 and keeps lunch going until 16:00, Monday to Sunday, before dinner takes over from 18:00 to 23:30. Resist the reflex to save a famous name for a late dinner booking; the long midday service is when we'd rather have the room. The Doha restaurant has its own page on the brand's site, which is the place to check before you commit an afternoon.

    Mamig Armenian & Lebanese Restaurant

    Katara Cultural Village, Shakespeare St, Doha, Qatar

    Armenian and Lebanese cooking in Katara Cultural Village from 08:00 until 01:00, and until 02:00 on Thursdays and Fridays

    From 08:00 until 01:00, and until 02:00 on Thursdays and Fridays, Mamig Armenian & Lebanese Restaurant keeps its doors open on Shakespeare St in Katara Cultural Village. That is breakfast, lunch, dinner and whatever you call the meal after it, all under one roof. The cuisine is filed simply as regional; the name over the door is more specific, and the Armenian half is the reason to choose it. A kitchen with two traditions rewards the diner who orders from the less familiar one. Avoid the midday rush and come late, when the long hours work in your favour. The restaurant has its own website and answers on +974 4408 0900.

    Bayt El Talleh (بيت التلة)

    Katara, Doha, 10737

    Levantine cooking in Katara served in three distinct sittings: 09:00 to 11:30, 13:00 to 17:00 and 18:30 to 23:30

    Katara, postal code 10737, is the full address Bayt El Talleh gives you, so the hours are what you need to study. The Levantine kitchen runs in three sittings: 09:00 to 11:30, 13:00 to 17:00, and 18:30 to 23:30. On Fridays the morning sitting drops out and the day starts at 13:00. The walk-in gamble that works at an all-day tourist grill does not work here; arrive between sittings and you will find a closed door. We read those pauses as a good sign, since a kitchen that stops is a kitchen that starts fresh. Ring +97450101777 to confirm a table, or check the restaurant's page online.

    Yasmine Palace (مطعم قصر الياسمين)

    18 Porto Arabia Parcel 18 Fountain Square, Doha

    Arab cooking on Fountain Square in Porto Arabia, open 24/7

    The kitchen at Yasmine Palace is open 24/7, which makes Parcel 18 on Fountain Square in Porto Arabia the most forgiving address a jet-lagged visitor could ask for. The cooking is Arab, and the point is that you can have a proper meal whenever your body decides it is dinnertime. Skip hotel room service in the small hours; a dining room that never locks up is the better answer to a late landing. There are two phone lines, +974 44111502 and +974 44111503, and the restaurant runs its own website. We'd save this one for the hour when everything else on your list has closed.

    Nando's

    Andalucia Way

    Portuguese-style chicken from 8:00 in the morning, with service stretching to 1:00 on Thursdays and Fridays

    Familiar is not a flaw at Nando's on Andalucia Way, and the case for this address is its clock. The kitchen, listed for chicken and Portuguese cooking, opens at 8:00 and runs to 23:00 from Saturday to Wednesday; on Thursdays and Fridays it holds on until 1:00. That turns a name most travellers treat as a quick lunch into an early table and a very late one. Skip the instinct that a known name is a wasted meal abroad; when you want something predictable at an awkward hour, predictable is the feature. The Qatar site is nandos.qa, and this address answers on +974 3000 3548.

    Jwala

    Andalucia Way

    A dedicated Indian kitchen on Andalucia Way, open 12:00 to 24:00

    Jwala sits on Andalucia Way, its Indian kitchen running from 12:00 to 24:00. Those hours hold every day of the week, which is a quiet virtue in a city where schedules often shift around the weekend. We're with the locals on preferring a restaurant that commits to one cuisine over the token curry on an international menu: one focus, twelve hours to get it right. Come for a late lunch if you want a quieter room, or later in the evening if you prefer the opposite. The restaurant has its own website, and the number for a table is +974 4437 8437.

    Meat Smith

    Andalucia Way

    American cooking that sits between fast food and steak house, served 12:00 to 24:00 on Andalucia Way

    Meat Smith on Andalucia Way carries three labels: American, fast food and steak house. That combination is the appeal. It tells you to expect beef treated seriously without the ceremony that usually comes attached, and we'd take that over the hushed steak rooms where the quiet seems to be part of the bill. Service runs from 12:00 to 24:00, covering lunch and the late appetite alike. The official web presence is a Facebook page, which says something about the place's priorities, and the phone number is +974 5053 1111. Go hungry, order the thing with the most meat in it, and do not dress up.

    Debs W Remman

    Andalucia Way

    Lebanese cooking on Andalucia Way from 09:00 through to 01:00

    The number for Debs W Remman is +974 4456 8374, and on a weekend evening we'd call ahead before setting out. This is a Lebanese kitchen on Andalucia Way with hours that cover nearly everything: doors open at 09:00 and stay open until 01:00. The locals eat Lebanese food late and at length, and a closing time past midnight lets you do the same. Skip the rushed pre-theatre style of dinner, order in rounds, and give the table the evening. Morning visitors get the same kitchen from 09:00, which is the calmer way in. The restaurant's own website carries the rest.

    La Casa 28

    Alhambra Street

    Mediterranean cooking on Alhambra Street, open 12:00 to 24:00

    Mediterranean is a loose word, and La Casa 28 on Alhambra Street is filed under it with no further explanation, which we take as an invitation to order widely rather than hunting for a single specialty. The kitchen opens at 12:00 and runs through to 24:00, with no afternoon break to plan around. Skip the single-country purism that sends visitors chasing one perfect dish; a broad menu suits a mixed table, and a mixed table is how most people travel. Reservations go through +974 4415 3333, and the restaurant has its own site at lacasa28.com. Come with a group, order across the menu, and let the table argue over it.

    Eggspectation

    Alhambra Street

    Breakfast from 7:00 on Alhambra Street, with burgers and international plates until 21:30

    By 7:00 the doors at Eggspectation on Alhambra Street are open, and by 21:30 they are shut. Those hours tell you how to use it. This is a morning address first, listed for breakfast ahead of its international and burger plates, and the early start is what earns a familiar name its place here. Avoid the hotel breakfast buffet on at least one morning of your trip; a cooked-to-order plate at a street address is the better start to a day. The 21:30 close rules it out for a late dinner, so plan accordingly. The brand's website is eggspectation.com, and this address answers on +974 5040 9900.
