A love letter to the 1930s - Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay ready to welcome YUN - a Cantonese and Taishanese culinary gem

Next month will see the launch of YUN, an entirely new restaurant and concept located within Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay, the city's newest hotspot. Evoking the oriental charm YUN is an elevated dining destination with eye-catching views that offers a forward-thinking approach to Cantonese and Taishanese cuisine in a 1930’s glamorous soul.
?This culinary gem is reminiscent of the original social dynasty. A tea house and luxury dining room reimagined for the modern day, YUN promises guests an exquisite gastronomic journey, amidst breath-taking panoramic views.

Seamlessly blending tradition with contemporary opulence, creating an ambiance that is timeless. Guests can expect a meticulously crafted by enthusiastic Chinese chef Victor Zhong who draw inspiration from his rich culinary heritage of the region and 17 years of experience. The menu showcases a fusion of traditional tastes with a contemporary twist, with dishes designed for sharing.

Promising an explosion of flavour, be ready to taste the classic Imperial Peking Duck - an iconic dish - featuring crispy, succulent duck served with thin pancakes and hoisin sauce. A must try at YUN this season. Bold yet light, the aroma is nostalgic yet not overpowering. From dim sum delicacies to signature stir-fries, YUN will serve time-honoured cuisine with limitless concoctions.

As well as, drawing inspiration from the timeless voyage of the Yangtze River, often hailed as the "Mother River of China," the beverage menu is a tribute to this iconic waterway's captivating journey. Embark on a sensory odyssey through the heart of the region as you delve into our thoughtfully curated range, designed to encapsulate the rich diversity and storied heritage found along the banks of the Yangtze.

Perched on the highest 44th floor, the restaurant offers unrivalled views of Doha’s skyline and the serene waters of the Arabian Gulf. YUN’s interiors feature Art Deco elements, layering plush textures and luxurious furnishings, including intimate restaurant seating and a dedicated lounge bar serving trend-led fermented tea mocktails. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a bygone era, where every detail exudes sophistication.

YUN invites guests to indulge in an unmatched dining experience and a truly unforgettable affair.
