Michelin StarredIDAM by Alain Ducasse
IDAM by Alain Ducasse sits on the top floor of the Museum of Islamic Art, inside a building designed by architect I.M. Pei with an interior styled by Philippe Starck. The kitchen focuses on preservation, drawing on traditional culinary techniques and peak season heritage ingredients sourced from around the world rather than heavy modern processing. Ducasse describes his approach as rooted in the flavours of southwest France and the Mediterranean, shaped by curiosity rather than strict tradition. IDAM holds a Michelin star, and its dining room looks directly out over Doha Bay, making it one of the most distinctive fine dining settings in the city. Service runs Sunday to Thursday for lunch and dinner, closed Friday and Saturday.
