We have been to Souq Waqif for dinner several times now and have found a few amazing restaurants that have exquisite food, in fabulous environments.
Recently we went to the Chinese restaurant called "Soy", which sits above Souq Waqif. I have to say, it is by far, the biggest restaurant I have ever been in.
It sits above a complete section of the marketplace and has a mass of windows overlooking the streets below. People watching from here is fascinating, and amusing!
The Soy Restaurant is decorated, as you would expect, in brilliant Red's and gold's, with large traditional wall covering and luxurious curtains. Although the restaurant is extremely large, there is a definite cosy feel to it, with the curtains being tastefully used to section off areas, giving you a feeling of privacy.
The food was amazing, both in tastes and presentation.
Like all restaurants in Souq Waqif, and indeed all of Qatar, no alcohol is allowed, but they do have a great "mocktail" menu, with lots of different fruit flavours available.
The menu was impressive with food listed from China & Thailand with different meats, fish, rice's & noodle. The sweet & sour chicken is to die for! Unless you have a big appetite, I suggest you only order one rice or noodle between two people, the portions are large.
Desserts look good to. The fried banana was exceptional, as was the coconut ice-cream.... so my husband says!
Service here was outstanding, with the waiters far enough away not to bother you, but close enough to give you 5 star service.
It was a wee bit expensive compared to other places we have eaten, but, personally, I felt it was worth the bit extra and I will definitely be eating there again.
