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.

Steaking my claim... On this mahoosive tomahawk steak is part of the new menu @cutdoha @mondrian_doha The new concept encourages sharing - whose coming with me to tackle this baby? Dress code: stretch pants Meat sweats: assured... . . . . . #foodspotting #eatrealfood #dohaeats #lifeonthewedge #tomahawksteak #sharingmenu #meatsweats #steakdinner #newmenu #meateater #carnivore #wheretoeat #mondriandoha #wednesdayvibes #eatguide #foodiesofinstagram #qatarfood #heresmyfood #onthetable #foodforfoodie #tastethisnext #whatsfordinner #forbestravelguide #qatarlife #steaklovers #devourpower #foodiefeature

I have so mush-room in my heart... For this burger from @evergreen_organics @evergreen_kitchen I devoured this Gansta burger with a sunflower and mushroom patty, smoked mushrooms and spicy pickled jalapenos during my visit to @farmersmarketqa It was just the right mix of textures and spiciness - I even liked the vegan cheese! . . . . . #diningindoha #veganfood #veganburger #wheretoeat #forbestravelguide #foodiefeature #veganuary #veganfoodspot #farmersmarket #organicfood #meatlessmeals #eatfresh #farmfresh #dohafoodies #heathyeating #devourpower #burgerlove #droolclub #foodgawker #dohaeats #forkfeed #foodspotting #eatguide #eatrealfood #veggieburger

I’m cray cray for this lobster... This beautiful mess is 1.5kg of Canadian lobster made even more delicious by being cooked in a lip tingling schezuan pepper sauce. This impressive plate is one of the new dishes on the revamped menu @cutdoha @mondrian_doha @ben_small has refined the menu, added new dishes and given a casual twist to the eatery - all moves I’m in favor of. Expect family style platters (dubbed large format) of quality meats (like a Flintstones style tomahawk so perfectly cooked it’s buttery), sharing plates of pasta and in a luxe twist, a proper caviar service. This dish was a highlight for me and took me back to my time in chengdu last year. I also loved a pure vegan soup made from local mushrooms and almond milk as well as a seafood pasta finished with crunchy breadcrumbs. There is a lot to love about this new menu and I think we will see this restaurant come into its own in 2019. . . . . . . #myfab5 #lifeonthewedge #lobster #spicyseafood #newmenu #chinesefood #sichuanfood #devourpower #whatsonmyplate #dohafoodies #insiderfood #vscofood #beautifulcuisines #wolfgangpuck #mondriandoha #todayfood #tasteofhome #foodiesofinstagram #seafoodlove #qatarrestaurants #wheretoeat #forbestravelguide #foodiefeature #luxurydining #wheretoeat #diningindoha

So very fondue of you... It’s winter in #Doha and that means fondue time @belgiancafedoha @intercontinentaldoha A big steaming pot of melted cheese and a plate of meat, bread and veggies (my favorite is the slices of pear) to dip away. The offer is running during winter and this bowl will cost you QR105 including morsels to dip. There are two other dishes on the special menu including a decadent tartiflette (try saying that five times) which is layers of potato and cheese and a duck Parmentier which is delightfully moreish. Dessert fiends can also try the chocolate fondue. Planning a return visit very soon. . . . . . #fondue #cheesefondue #belgianfood #swissfondue #winterfood #myfab5 #lifeonthewedge #cheesypotatoes #cheesygoodness #winterwarmers #fonduenight #hosted #ihgfoodie #desertwinter #dohafoodies #meltedcheese #cheeseislife #cheesey #devourcheese #dohaeats #qatarlife #qatarrestaurants #ihgambassador #intercontinental #belgianbeercafe #foodiesofinstagram

Counter culture... A flashback today to my last meal in Sydney @continentaldeli Yes folks that’s a grilled cheese served with a dollop of mustard on the side. FYI the only way to eat a cheese toastie in my view. . . . . . . #myfab5 #lifeonthewedge #cafestagram #cheese #grilledcheese #cheesetoastie #deli #sydneyeats #travelingfoodie #foodandtravel #continentaldeli #delicatessen #newtowneats #sydneyfood #visitnsw #dohabloggers #wheretoeat #foodbeast #devourcheese #devourpower #cheesygoodness #girlsgoneglobal #foodietravel #foodilysm #qatarbloggers

Eggsellent way to start the weekend... Poached eggs on a crab cake, good coffee and a newspaper. Bliss... This weekend has started strong thank to @marriottmarquisdoha . . . . . #comfortfood #qatarbloggers #eggsbenedict #weekendtime #weekendmood #qatarrestaurants #cafelife #eggsforbreakfast #metime #lifeonthewedge #foodiefriday #foodilysm #happyplace #dohafoodies #dohaeats #wheretofindme #onmyplate #myfab5 #whatieat #coffee_time #dohainstagram

I only have fries for you... Believe me when I say I have been talking about these sweet potato fries from @cueqatar all week. I don’t know what they contain to cast such a spell over me, but a return visit to this little cafe @thepearlqatar is on my agenda this weekend. What are your plans for the weekend ahead? . . . . . . . #myfab5 #diningatthepearl #thepearlqatar #eattheworld #wheretofindme #sweetpotatofries #friesbeforeguys #fries #snackattack #dohafoodies #lifeonthewedge #devourpower #foodie_munchies #foodiefeature #platedpics #foodiepic #qatarfood #cafestagram #pinkplates #onmytable #flavorchaser #whatsforlunch #feelgoodfastfood #eatrealfood

Social-ite tendencies... I had a sneak peek of the new @pearlsocialdoha last night. While it was only canapés and drinks there is a lot to like about Doha’s newest restaurant: ✅part of celebrity chef and Michelin starred @_jasonatherton empire ✅a wider menu of interesting Mediterranean dishes ✅stunning location waterside @marsamalaz with outdoor seating and an upstairs Bar ✅well trained and engaged staff If the taster I had last night is anything to go by this will become a regular haunt for me. . . . . . . . #lifeonthewedge #qatarrestaurants #newrestaurant #diningindoha #miniburger #sliders #mediterraneanfood #celebritychef #diningatthepearl #wheretoeat #wheretofindme #thepearlqatar #openingnight #dohafoodies #foodiefeature #eattheworld #beautifulcuisines #foodbeast #myfab5 #eatguide #dohaqatar

Taco Tuesday... We’re almost halfway through the week - here are some tasty tacos to distract you! I am seriously jonesing for these perfectly spicy and crunchy fish tacos from @mondrian_doha @hudsontaverndoha Now to get my hands on them... Happy hump day! 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 . . . . . #lifeonthewedge #wheretoeat #eatfamous #vscofood #lovefood #noleftovers #forkyeah #eeeeeats #buzzfeast #myfab5 #spoonfeed #eatingfortheinsta #foodprnshare #thedailybite #tastespotting #beautifulcuisines #foodspotting #foodieincarnate #dohafoodies #mondrian #devourpower #tacotuesday #tacosarelife #foodiefeature #texmex #barfood #streetfood #qatarrestaurants

Perfect pairing... This could be the most extra dumpling I have ever devoured - lobster and beluga caviar. It’s on the menu @hakkasandoha and was everything you think it would be - the sweetness of the lobster and the salty and lush Beluga caviar. It was a welcome return for me to Hakkasan on the weekend - it’s consistently great in terms of service and food. The fact it’s always busy - even in these uncertain times - is illustrative of how they always deliver. In the meantime, trying to work out how I can go back to have some more of these! . . . . . . #wheretoeat #lobsterandcaviar #beluga #caviar #dumplings #hakkasan #luxurydining #luxelife #lifeonthewedge #stregis #beautifulcuisines #dohafoodies #qatarrestaurants #dohainstagram #onmyplate #lobsterlover #luxurylifestyle #perfectbite #foodiefeature #datenight #devourpower #chinesefood #chinesefoodlover

Un-fig-gettable While I thought the star of this dish @cueqatar would be the crumbed goat cheese, I actually loved the fresh figs and the fig jam that accompanied it. Cue calls itself a “whimsical cafe” and it’s certainly different from its counterparts: ✅ millennial pink interiors ✅a short but creative menu ✅matcha lattes Definitely on my return visit list. . . . . . #cheesygoodness #comfortfood #fig #figjam #tartine #milennialpink #cheese #tartine #cafes #dohafoodies #qatarbloggers #eatheworld #naughtyteas #feastagram #eattherainbow #milennialpink #cueqatar #diningatthepearl #lifeonthewedge #goatcheese #cheeseplease #wheretoeat #foodieforlife #dohainstagram #prettyplates

Thai me up... It’s back to business for me today...but first let me marvel at this thing of beauty from the menu @fsdoha Elements. Prawn pomelo salad, the seafood was perfectly cooked and the fruit and just the right amount of sour zing. . . . . . . #wheretonext #foodiesofinstagram #foodandtravel #pomelo #thaifood #thaifoodlover #sharemyfs #lifeonthewedge #dohafoodies #qatarbloggers #foodiefeature #foodiepic #beautifulcuisines #qatarrestaurants #yougottaeatthis #thaisalad #wheretoeat #dohainstagram #devourpower #tastemade #tastetherainbow
