The Cellar purports to be a tapas restaurant. Chop Suey purports to be Chinese, which it isn't (it's American). Anyhow. I had a perfectly pleasant meal, with nice food (the best of which was smoked salmon carpaccio, which I defy anyone to find on a Spanish tapas menu). I was pleased to get a nice chilled glass of fino sherry,... More

I'm pretty much a repeat customer here. I love the fact you can get a decent glass of wine and good food so close to the airport. I've even walked to departures from here before. Food is well cooked and presented and just the right portion size. Wine list is reasonable and varied and prices are not bad for a... More

One thing guaranteed to annoy me: being given a menu to look through, left for much too long, then when I order I'm told it's not available. I choose again to be told that also is not available. Guys, how about telling customers what's not available WHEN YOU GIVE THEM THE MENU? Apart from this, the food wasn't up to... More

Been to this place few times, recently just couple of months ago. Tried the set menu for business lunch which is great value but other times stick to tapas which is great.. The atmosphere and ambiance make one to unwind and enjoy the food and drinks

The Cellar is a good place for wines, but the food is barely average and quite over priced. My wife and I had salads with chicken at prices equivalent to a main course. We were served a medium sized salads with dry chicken and mediocre dressing. My caesar included beef bacon that should have been used for something other than... More

We love the whole feel of The Cellar it reminds us of a wine bar restaraunt back home in Australia. Once you enter you are taken away from dusty Doha and into a little piece of home.

I went to the Cellar to celebrate an anniversary and had a wonderful time. The ambience is nice and the service was impeccable. We ordered 9 tapas, tried both versions of the Sangria, and had some dessert. The food was tasty, but a bit pricy. I would recommend making a reservation if wanting to go on the weekend, as it...
