Qatar’s capital city believes in living the good life, an attitude reflected in the cuisine and culture of food
Eating out in Doha is a big deal, and the weekends often see crowded restaurants. In fact, it isn’t uncommon to spot executives at these places during lunch hours on weekdays either. A meal out is usually taken at hotel restaurants, instead of stand-alone eateries. Most have bar offerings to accompany your food as well as upbeat music for a lively vibe.
1. Fuego Visiting Shangri-La’s authentic South American eatery means signing up for a night of foot-tapping music and fantastic food. Every evening except Mondays, a duo plays genuine Argentine folk music and meat lovers enjoy a fine selection of prime beef “prepared in the time-honored traditions of the Argentine grill.” Complementing the meal is an equally impressive selection of South American wines and service by a predominantly Argentinian staff. Steaks served here include the certified Argentine Kobe and certified Argentine Angus. Fuego also serves a good portion of chargrilled prawns, sea bass, roasted chicken, spiced lamb, chorizo meatballs and country-style vegetables for the mains.
Steaks start from QAR 170 ($46) and main courses start from QAR 90 ($25). Open daily 5:30 PM – 12:00 AM; tel: +974 4429 5295; shangri-la.com

The Censoring of Social Media? - Why legislatures continually try to regulate freedom of expression, and what the courts are doing about it
There seems to be bipartisan agreement that everything from teen suicide rates to poor mental health and more is due to social media.
