QATAR. Qatar Duty Free (QDF) has opened its latest concept restaurant, RED, at Hamad International Airport (HIA), Doha.
Located in the airport’s North Node, RED grill features a menu reflecting different food cultures from around the world.
The restaurant takes its inspiration from the golden age of travel and the unique story of one individual, Passepartout, a charismatic French valet to an American philanthropist.
Diners are offered a culinary experience fashioned from the mementos, pictures, food and stories of Passepartout’s travels in the 1900s.
Keith Hunter, Senior Vice-President Qatar Duty Free, said: “RED is an exciting and fresh concept, offering a new dining experience for all travellers at HIA.
“RED is QDF’s first concept restaurant to open in HIA’s North Node and its unique, characteristic theme, and inspired menu, set a new benchmark in airport hospitality, further complementing the comprehensive array of existing food and beverage offerings.”
The newly opened restaurant combines colourful décor, ambience and food to celebrate world travel.
