Doha, Qatar: From April 25, Jiwan at the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) welcomes La Mamounia, a century old hotel in Morocco, in a collaboration celebrating Moroccan cuisine for three days only.
A special menu inspired by Le Marocain, one of four restaurants at the iconic Marrakesh hotel, will be presented over lunch and dinner in association with the Qatar-Morocco 2024 Year of Culture. The national initiative spearheads long-term cultural exchanges between Qatar and partner nations to promote respect and understanding among countries and people.
Shaped by the vibrant blend of cultures which define the energy of Doha, Jiwan draws on influences and ingredients from surrounding territories including North Africa, making the collaboration with La Mamounia a natural fit.
In keeping with Jiwan’s ethos, the set tasting menu will be served family style and will spotlight the evocative flavours of the region surrounding Morocco.
Guests can expect a modern reimagination of traditional dishes including harira soup served with dates and chebbakia, chicken tagine with olives and lemon confit, and of course couscous with vegetables. The range of desserts highlights fragrant ingredients including orange blossom, honey, and almonds.
