The Friday brunch market in Doha is VERY crowded.
Any new entrant really needs to set itself apart and offer something innovative to get and keep people interested.
Which is why I am excited by the looming launch of Nozomi Doha’s new Friday brunch on 28 April.
The restaurant has already set the pace with a an excellent value Saturday dumpling brunch so this new concept promises to be something special.
I’m pleased to give you an exclusive sneak peek at some of the dishes the innovative culinary team at Nozomi have developed including this miso black cod which looks like it needs to get into my belly asap.

The new brunch will be priced at:
- OKI Package QR335 including soft drinks
- Yamato Package QR390 including beer, wine, Prosecco and Sake Orichi
- It’s QR150 for children aged four to 12 years (children under three complimentary).

The menu is a la carte and includes the chance to try items such as rock shrimp tempura, hoisin duck shredded pancakes, 27 hour slow cooked Nippon short rib and of course, their signature sushi, sashimi and maki rolls.

So…I promised a competition and it’s a doozy.
Nozomi has offered me THREE individual seats at their inaugural brunch – you can be among the first diners in Doha to try it.
The downside? You have to share your table with me. I promise to behave and only tell one boring story per hour.
So to one one of those seats and be among the first to try this new brunch here’s all you have to do:
- Follow @Nozomi_Doha on Instagram (or Twitter @Nozomi_Doha)
- In the comments below name three people – famous, infamous, living, dead, related, unrelated – who would be your ultimate Friday brunch crew.
The competition will close at 5pm on Saturday, 22 April and winners will be notified on my Facebook page as well as my Twitter and Instagram (basically ALL the social media). If you are one of the three people chosen you must be available on 28 April.
So, I look forward to sharing my brunch with you and telling you ALL my favorite jokes.
GOOD luck!

Lovely question!
One would require a larger than life character to provide the entertainment and keep us on high spirits so my first choice would be Oprah winfrey as she is would tell intresting stories.
I would have my mum who is late and was the most inspiring woman in the world ..she who was my hero.
Lastly I would have my sister. We might me across the world from each other right now but she is my rock and I miss her!
3 amazing women who have a great love for food and 1 rocking lunch. I forsee laughter.. joy at eating delicious food and lots of tears

I would bring Confiucious and Mao Zedong. That would be quite a pair to see together. I’d add Leonardo da Vinci in the mix!

Ok we need to be strategic with this.
We need one interesting person with lots of stories and a matching voice you want to listen to. One funny person to keep the mood easy going, relaxed and enjoyable and finally, we need one sexy guy because… who doesn’t want a good looking guy to occasionally have a glimpse at? (Sorry not sorry 😂)
1. David Attenborough or Morgan Freeman
2. Louis C.K or Whoopy Goldberg
3. James Franco or Sebastian Stan or Jamie Dorna
