Deliopolis is currently refurbishing the restaurants at the Al Sadd Merweb Hotel in to a completely new dining experience. Everything from the furniture, wall coverings and ceiling panels to the kitchen and even the air-ventilation system will be re-built to suit a high class modern standard. La Gourmandise already made a name as a favourite private dining club at the Al Jazi Compound, where Chef Hannes and Victoria manage to keep residents and their guests enthused with special meals. With the enhanced concept and open to anyone, La Gourmandise Al Sadd will quickly be turned in to a unique hot spot for everyone who appreciates quality cuisine and a great atmosphere.

La Gourmandise Bistro

The Bistro will be offering a freshly prepared European and regional food selection from a seasonal menu as well as daily specials. Customers also have the options of booking business luncheons with service time guarantee, ordering take-away or having food delivered to their neighbourhood offices and residences. In the afternoons, La Gourmandise will be offering tea, coffee and a special brand of hot chocolate with a selection of delicious European pastries.

La Gourmandise Delicatessen Shop

As part of its enhanced concept, a delicatessen shop will be added inside the bistro, where customers can treat themselves to a wide range of delicacies. The integrated bakery supplies fresh bread and pastries straight from the oven, which goes well with the great cheese selection and deli charcuterie. Prepared salads and deli snacks will also be available, as well as sweets, chocolates, gifts and rare international specialties such as different kinds of chutneys, jams, spreads and mustards.

La Gourmandise Market Place

The new concept will also be featuring a market-style dining experience with European, Arab and Asian fusion cuisine prepared by authentic ethnic chefs of these regions. Here, customers will be pampered with a selection of seasonal products, live seafood, organic food, a variety of desserts, freshly squeezed juices and - for entertainment: open front cooking by Chef Hannes and his team.

La Gourmandise is already well known for providing its customers with excellent meals for reasonable prices, as well as its friendly and efficient service. Austrian Star Chef Hannes will continue to prepare all meals with fresh, top quality food imports from Europe, Asia, Australia and America – all imported by Deliopolis. Meals will be prepared in a brand new kitchen, featuring new generation equipment, induction cooking fields, high safety standards and compliance with local and international HACCP regulations.

Soft opening is expected mid August 2010, the official opening is planned in late September.
