The Conductor
French Michelin-starred Chef, Jean-François Rouquette
chooses to work with producers who share his philosophy and approach to excellence. Widely known as “ The Travelling Chef ”, he embarks on a new journey to broaden his culinary horizon, expanding his vision beyond the borders of France and into Qatari Cuisine. The private culinary world of Jean-François Rouquette is inspired by nature, the seasons and the people he meets – a result of 35 years of experience and “the fruits” of his trip diaries. Today he offers a tasty and refined market cuisine, based on fresh seasonal products, giving pride of place to local producers.
Jean-François Rouquette Playing outside her family home in Downtown Msheireb, Park Hyatt Doha’s current location, Chef Shams always dreamt of opening up her very own restaurant. She loved entertaining guests and feeding her friends and family traditional, home cooked meals.
As she grew older, and settled her family, she realized that there was an even more compelling reason to open a restaurant; a way of conserving local traditional recipe's. With her driver and a box of tissues to write down recipes, needed ingredients, and issue receipts for clients, Chef Shams started laying the foundations for her first restaurant which has become THE go-to for local cuisine.
An Arabesque bistro nestled into Souk Waqif, breakfast and lunch is high in demand, and a place where most of Qatar’s decision makers and influencers frequent, as can be seen by the photos displayed on the walls.
