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.

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.

Perched on the highest 44th floor, the restaurant offers unrivalled views of Doha’s skyline and the serene waters of the Arabian Gulf.
