Your November 2018 Dining Hit List – Where You Should Be Eating and Drinking This Month

This month’s must-eat in Doha list is a mix of splurge versus pocket friendly, Thai and tapas and everything in between. With so many new restaurants opening in Qatar at the moment, it’s super competitive and a great time to be a foodie. The one thing of of my top picks have in common –…

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.

Just brew it... Learned about the serious and not so serious business of coffee last night @espressolabqa This is a new, community focused cafe in @citycenterdoha serving gimmick-free coffee, freshly made snacks and no attitude. It might just be my new favorite spot...make mine a flat white . . . . . . #lifeonthewedge #wheretofindme #dohaqatar #coffeeshop #espresso #espressolab #butfirstcoffee #wintervibes #communityovercompetition #coffeeshops #caffeine #v60 #doha #cafestagram #foodiesofinstagram #coffeeandabook #dohafoodies #oneshotlatte #flatwhite #drinkcoffee #qatarbloggers #cosycorner #makemoments #thesmallthings #perfectplace

Market values... So happy I was able to make a return visit to @farmersmarketqa on the weekend. While I love the food stalls (especially the home made items for sale) this has to be my favorite part - being able to buy farm fresh veggies and flowers. Have you been this season? . . . . . . #farmersmarket #farmtotable #farmfresh #torbafarmersmarket #dohafoodies #dohaqatar #organic #farmfreshtoyou #wintervibes #wheretofindme #wheretonext #lifeonthewedge #beautifulcuisines #beautifuldestinations #visitqatar #qatarliving #qatarlife #theslowdowncollective #pursuepretty #thelittlethings #shoplocal

Nacho average Doha brunch... Guys, apparently I’ve been settling for second best when it came to nachos. This version from the new Friday brunch @mayadoha was unlike any others I have eaten. No gloopy plastic cheese. No tasteless corn chips. No over-processes green stuff masquerading as guacamole. It actually had flavor and texture and real spice. Real avocados! Not sure I can ever go back to how it was before... . . . . . #nachos #nacholibre #mexicanfood #maya #mexicanfoodporn #mexicancuisine #fridaybrunch #foodheaven #foodiefeature #lifeonthewedge #dohafoodies #richardsandoval #beautifulcuisines #devourpower #onmyplate #wheretoeat #doharestaurants #qatarlife #guacamole #eatrealfood #freshfoodmatters #foodiesofinstagram #wheretofindme

Taco about a great time! I had the chance to check out Doha’s newest brunch yesterday. @mayadoha Mas Mas Brunch concept is based around a traditional Mexican breakfast. Starters (including a take on nachos that will knock your socks off and ask for seconds and thirds like we did) and the five different tacos (again unlimited) were the highlights for us. As well as the freshly made churros. Mains weren’t as strong but I did love the Mexican eggs dish with perfectly cooked fries eggs and a kicking salsa. Drinks include a sangria cart, micheladas (beer cocktails - I’m a fan!) and more. Prices range from QR275 to QR 470 depending on your drinks package. This Brunch is fun, lively and has authentic Mexican food to round it off. . . . . . . . #mexicanfood #mexicanbreakfast #masmas #thefeedfeed #dishoftheday #tacos #tacosalpastor #fridaybrunch #weekendbrunch #foodiesofinstagram #lifeonthewedge #wheretoeat #onmyplate #newrestaurant #dohafoodies #qatarbloggers #eatguide #tacostacostacos #richardsandoval #foodiefeature #devourpower #beautifulcuisines

Constant craving... Tough week on several levels and craving comfort food. I have these dumplings from @khaosan_doha in my sights. Juicy and perfectly steamed, they are given an extra dimension thanks fo the crisp onions on top. What’s your favorite comfort food when you are feeling low? . . . . . . . #dishoftheday #storyofmytable #lovefood #dumplings #thaifood #thaidumplings #comfortfood #dumplingsfordays #lifeonthewedge #weekendeats #dohafoodies #eatingforinsta #wheretoeat #foodieforlife #qatarbloggers #lazyweekend #thefeedfeed #cheapeats

The year in review... What a delicious year it was for Doha’s foodies - a slew of new restaurants opened, some reinvented themselves. I’ve compiled my annual list of top dishes of the year - and I am pleased to say 2018 was one of the most interesting yet.

Explore more... The year is coming to a close very rapidly and I’m pleased to say I’ve managed to explore more of Qatar this year than ever. As explore we sometimes either live in our bubble or only get out and about when visitors come. I’m glad I’ve made an effort to see and experience more this year. . . . . . #visitqatar #qatartourism #qatar #qatarliving #lifeonthewedge #exploremore #theviewfromhere #qatarbloggers #forbestravelguide #dohaqatar #blueskies #stayandwander #momentsofmine #staycation #inmybackyard #thattravelblog #optoutside #viewfromabove #middleeast #openmyworld #seemydoha #wheretonext #beautifuldestinations #welivetoexplore #tlpicks #fromwhereistand

It’s PAN-demonium whenever I see chaat. This tricked up pani puri from @signaturebysanjeevkapoor @crowneplazadohawb may be a posh version of the Indian street food but it had all the familiar flavors. For my recommendations of where to eat in Doha this month head over to the blog for my freshly minted post (link in bio). . . . . . . . . . #panipuri #indianfood #indianstreetfood #lifeonthewedge #qatarbloggers #traveltuesday #topcitybites #bitesize #wheretofindme #wheretoeat #dohafoodies #qatarrestaurants #foodandtravel #foodiesofinstagram #loveindianfood #comfortfood #snacktime #doha #qatarlife #topfoodpics #bestfoodfeed #beautifulcuisines #devourpower #mumbaifood

Artscape... There’s more to Kochi than it’s lush landscapes and awesome food. I loved the murals and art in the streets of the city, especially around Fort Kochi. In fact Art is so ingrained here that from next week the city is hosting the Kochi-Muziris Biennale until March 2019 - the biggest art event in Asia. So much to love about this very cool city. . . . . . #streetart #murals #kochi #visitkerala #asianart #artattack #biennale #kochibiennale #godsowncountry /#cochin #qatarbloggers #incredibleindia #artistsoninstagram #artistsofindia #streetartphoto #streetartdaily #visitindia #kochigram #visitindia #lifeonthewedge #travelguide #forbestravelguide #travel_captures #theviewfromhere #wheretonext

Never dessert me... I never expected to have the perfect pavlova in India, but @blueelephant.in delivered on all fronts. We loved this little restaurant in Cochin serving up soul food (via Malaysia and Goa!) cooked with real love. Thanks to @fcboy83 for the hospitality and unique dining experience. A must visit for any foodie when in Kochi. . . . . . . #bestplacestogo #lifeonthewedge #indianfoodies #travelingfoodie #eatdessertfirst #pavlova #aussiefood #keralafood #kochi #wheretoeat #foodiesofindia #sweettreats #whatsonmyplate #foodasart #godsowncountry #cochin #incredibleindia #blueelephant #soulfood #soulfoodsunday #qatarbloggers

Lush life... My second time in Kochi and I love it even more. A city with amazing heritage, friendly people and of course great food. This trip is short but sweet and we packed a lot into the first day including some great eats and exploring Fort Kochi. . . . . . . #kochi #cochin #incredibleindia #tuktuk #fortcochin #indiadiaries #weekendtrip #lifeonthewedge #travelingfoodie #foodandtravel #forbestravelguide #dametraveler #exploreindia #qatarairways #foodandtravel #qatarbloggers #godsowncountry #weekendescape #wheretofindme #wheretonext #beautifuldestinations #southindia #keralatourism #keralagodsowncountry

Breakfast with a view... Good morning kochi! 3am arrival. Sleep then...dosa! Looking forward to exploring this city again. But first this Mysore masala dosa... . . . . #butfirstcoffee #dosa #bestplacestogo #foodiesofinstagram #kochi #incredibleindia #breakfastwithaview #eatkochieat #kerala #visitkerala #grandhyatt #beautifulcuisines #indianbreakfast #masaladosa #spicyfood #lifeonthewedge #travelingfoodie #indianfoodies #traveling_world #eattheworld #foodblogeats #happyatlulu #inahyattworld
