If you would have noticed, I am currently exploring food available in the country that I am based now, and this would be the blog where I shall dedicate and share my experiences in according to my tongue. Yeap, it is purely based on my tongue :)
With further due, I discovered this restaurant called " Florian Cafe" , at 3rd floor City Centre, Doha. I have been passing through this Cafe for almost a year. I tried the other day to have lunch with my friend, Jirka and unfortunately it was not opened, as yet. We tried twice, actually and the second time, we were told that the Chef was not arrived yet. In both occasions, it was 11 a.m. [ Check the opening hour before deciding to go though !].
That did not stop my curiosity to explore the menu that this restaurant serves. One day, I decided to give it a try and I like the food so much. I shall make the entry lately. Today, my 3rd time having lunch there and I tried this Fried Bangus and Eggplant [ dunno the name as it was written in Tagalog !]. Below is my review ;
Condition ;
The Cafe is spacious, clean and lots of table with handful of people during lunch time.
Amneties/Facilities;
Free newspaper reading - Gulf Time. Peninsular. Qatar Tribune and Al-Sharq [ Arabic newspaper ].
Size of serving;
1 meal for two (2) persons, sharing is caring !
Price;
Average QAR 20-35 depending on menu, normally the menu include "steam rice" and a bottle of mineral water.
Waiting time;
Expect to wait between 20-25 minutes, but may be more depending on the number of customers as all the food are freshly prepared, straight from the kitchen.
Nothing to shout about, normal serving and expect nothing "extra-ordinaire" . The waiter will attend you before you take your seat.
Tips;
Up to you.
Food;
1. Fried Bangus [ Milk Fish] - You have a choice of full or half. The first time, I tried it was very good., crispy and taste it was fresh fish, unfortunately today,was so-so. Perhaps, they have consistencies issues and the fish seemed to me taste not fresh.
2. The Eggplant vegetable - too much salt in it and shall I say kind of overcooked ! I could not finish all, except the eggplant. It was mixed with chicken, and presentation wise ; not inviting lol
All right, accordance to my tongue and perhaps my tummy ;
1. Food Rating : 4**** out of 10
2. Overall experience : 4.5 ** out of 10
Till then, care to try ? Why not and experience yourself :)
