Welcome to the Wedge

Starting out as an idea to eat and document 365 cheeses in a very long year, Life on the Wedge has grown to become one of the must-read food blogs in Qatar and the region.

A writer, editor, blogger, traveler, foodie and social communications expert, her blog, Life on the Wedge is a fearless and (rare) unbiased look at the food and travel scene in Qatar and beyond.

You’ve heard this a million times before, but all views are her own, even if you don’t agree with them.

Rachel can be reached at info@taf3eel.com for collaborations, media inquiries and bad puns.

Musseling in... Two things I love almost as much as cheese and dumplings? Seafood and a bargain. This regular Monday night special @tradervicsdoha ticks both boxes. QR99 for a hugggggge pot of plump and juicy steaming mussels (choose from a silky classic cream sauce, a kicking spicy tomato or Thai style) with crusty bread, a bowl of crispy chips and a drink (beer, wine or soft drink). You don’t have to ask me twice... . . . . . . #mussels #tradervics #belgianfood #seafood #musselpot #lifeonthewedge #specialoffer #dohafoodies #seafoodfest #frenchfries #eatingout #dohaqatar #dohablogger #foodoftheday #foodpics #feedfeed #instayum #eatfamous #spoonfeed #eatingfortheinsta #thedailybite #tastespotting #qatarrestaurants #foodiechats #seetheworld #dailyfoodfeed #eatstagram #seafoodlover

The view from here... One of those moments when it pays to look back. Departing from Colombo on @srilankanairlinesofficial en route back to Doha. A sea of blue and green for #traveltuesday and looking forward to a return visit to Sri Lanka in coming weeks. Check my review of Sri Lankan’s business class now live on the blog. Where are you dreaming of traveling to at the moment? . . . . . . . . #travelholic #beautifuldestinations #beautiful_world #luxurytravel #bluesky #srilanka #visitsrilanka #colombo #theviewfromhere #lifeonthewedge #businessclass #liveauthentic #igshotz #exploretocreate #travelandlife #bestplacestogo #welltravelled #girlswhotravel #bigblue #mytinyatlas #holdyourmoments #morningslikethese #neverstopexploring

Melting moments... Let’s be honest, a lot of cafes and restaurants in this town have issues with consistency. One great experience doesn’t always guarantee a great follow up one. But this isn’t the case with @aljazeeracafe where each time I visit I’m impressed with menu and service. Loved this decadent croque madame - checked out the ooze on that cheese! . . . . . . #grilledcheese #breakfast #aljazeera #lifeonthewedge #runnyegg #croquemadame #breakfasttime #cafeculture #eatingfortheinsta #dohafoodies #meltedcheese #tastespotting #friedegg #eatfamous #feedfeed #smashedavo #guacamole #spoonfeed #qatarrestaurants #dohablogger

Bargain business class... While I love flying @qatarairways I also love a bargain. So when I bagged a business class fare to Asia for just over QR3000 on @srilankanairlinesofficial I couldn’t resist taking the plunge. But what was it really like and how does it compare? Check my new blog post for the final verdict (link in bio) Are you loyal to one airline or do you go according to price? . . . . . . . #luxlife #luxurytravel #avgeek #srilanka #srilankanairlines #lifeonthewedge #travelblogger #theviewfromhere #airlinefood #businessclass #luxeforless #airlines #oneworldalliance #frequentflier #beautifuldestinations #planefood #curryrice #exploretocreate #travelandlife #welltravelled #mytinyatlas #huffposttravel #tasteintravel #wonderful_places #qatarbloggers #inflightmeal #weekendescape #visitsrilanka

Viva Chia! As a food blogger, there is no doubt that I dine well. But I must confess I don't always eat well. I've made a conscious effort in recent months to make some small but noticeable changes to my eating habits. A big discovery for me was the benefits of chia seeds - you can add them to many things like avocado toast, smoothies and even salads. They are nutrient dense and keep me feel fuller, longer. I'm especially loving the range by @chiabiamiddleeast - their chia and cranberry mix goes perfectly with my avo toast obsession. . . . . . . . #ChiaBiaFam #chiaseeds #Chia #ChiaBiaME #eatingwell #lifestylechange #healthandwellbeing #avotoast #smashedavo #healthyfats #DohaFoodie #toast #dohabloggers #eatingfortheinsta #lifeonthewedge #smallchanges #eatingwell #foodieforlife #tastespotting #QatarFood #collaboration #sandwiches #healthychoices #ad

Bowling in the deep... I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but this cacao, peanut butter and banana creation from @thebowldoha may convert me to the dark side. I mean it is the right kind of sweet after all. The perfect weekend treat. . . . . . . . #thebowldoha #smoothiebowl #acaibowl #healthyfood #thebowl #eatingwell #dohafoodies #dohablogger #weekendvibes #absaremadeinthekitchen #theviewfromhere #thepearlqatar #diningatthepearl #healthyfood #eatingfortheinsta #holdyourmoments #lifeonthewedge #thisishowweroll #qatarrestaurants #perfectplace #myweekend #foodieforlife #healthyish #tastespotting #newrestaurant

Weekend is calling... And I’m taking that call. Heading out and about to explore Qatar this weekend - including the lovely @souqalwakrah which is on my doorstep. What are your plans? . . . . . #visitqatar #lifeonthewedge #bluesky #historicplace #exploreqatar #exploretocreate #desert #worldplaces #bestvacations #thebest_capture #beautifuldestinations #bestplacestogo #bestdestinations #worldtravelpics #ig_travel #sharetravelpics #travelworld #travelgram #natgeotravel #natgo #welltravelled #mytinyatlas #huffposttravel #tasteintravel #wonderful_places

Later upon layer... This may look like a sweet treat, but in fact it’s 100 percent savory. This innovative take on mille feuille @fsdoha is actually made from decadent foie gras. A perfect mid-week treat, it’s on their special foie gras menu in the Library Bar. For a proper night out, check out their gin and vodka flight available in Elements downstairs - link to that and two other awesome happy hours in my bio. . . . . . . . #millefeuille #foiegras #decadent #sharemyfs #luxurylifestyle #luxlife #foodie #eatingfortheinsta #lifeonthewedge #foodstyling #happyhour #dohafoodies #feedfeed #yum #eatfamous #lovefood #noleftovers #forkyeah #eeeeeats #buzzfeast #myfab5 #spoonfeed #treasuringlittlememories #makeeverydaycount

Looking for truffle... And I found it @nobudoha @chef.andrew.nobu.doha stunned me yet again last night with some dishes I hadn’t tried before including this beef carpaccio with truffle and mushroom. The meat was wafer thin and the truffle just enough not to overwhelm. Lots of texture and crunch as well. This restaurant continues to grow and tweak their menu and it’s always a pleasure to experience it. This always tops my list of favorite restaurants in Doha - what are yours? . . . . . . #carpaccio #fusionfood #nobu #truffle #truffleoil #japanesefood #celebritychef #foodwithfriends #eatingfortheinsta #perfectplate #finedining #luxlife #luxurydining #dohafoodies #foodwithfriends #noleftovers #forkyeah #eeeeeats #buzzfeast #myfab5 #spoonfeed #thefeedfeed #sharemyfs #fourseasons

Cult coffee... Out and about on the weekend and we took some time to check out the new cafe sensation in Doha - @walterscoffee.qa Inspired by @breakingbadofficial It’s popularity meant a parking crush and a line out the front. Yes, I lined up for coffee! But the service was efficient, the set up a little fun and the coffee hit the spot. Worth it also to check out @lusailcityofficial . . . . . #walterscoffee #coffee #coffeeholic #qatarbloggers #newopening #cafe #cappucino #spanishlatte #mugshotmonday #coffeeshots #butfirstcoffee #breakingbad #science #walterwhite #qatarcafe #dohafoodies #lifeonthewedge #visitqatar

Grill and chill... I’m usually in hibernation mode on Saturday nights but the promise of unlimited BBQ @cutdoha lured me out. Their new casual Saturday BBQ on their fab @mondrian_doha terrace includes a menu of US- inspired comfort food like hush puppies and brisket. It’s not a buffet, rather everything on the small menu is brought to your table and you can order more of your faves. There is even a country music sound track (heads up, I’m more than a little bit country). At QR195 or QR345 with alcohol, this is my new Saturday hang-out. . . . . . #bbq #barbeque #brisket #countrymusic #lifeonthewedge #weekendvibes #saturdaynight #foodwithaview #hushpuppies #comfortfood #southerncharm #theviewfromhere #eatingfortheinsta #worldofsbe #wolfgangpuck #qatarrestaurants #qatarbloggers #celebritychef #springtime #dohafoodies #tastemade #qatarrestaurants

You’re the gin to my tonic... Let’s face it, sometimes you need to blow off steam and unwind after a tough week at (or day!) at the coalface. Lucky for us, hotels and bars in Doha are keen to attract our custom with some new and interesting happy hours designed to please even the the most discerning drinker. I’ve hunted down three new happy hours you should be investigating, including the excellent gin tasting flight offer @fsdoha Elements. Three gins from around the world with a matching bite to eat...click the link in my bio for all the details.
