Shakespeare & Co, a UAE based restaurant chain, is celebrating a successful year in Doha with plans to open a second branch in Doha in early 2014. For more than 10 years, Shakespeare & Co. has been growing in the Middle East with franchises in the UAE, Lebanon, Jordan, Oman and now Qatar. Beginning as a café restaurant with the distinct “old Shakespearean” design, Shakespeare & Co. added a patisserie arm to its repertoire in 2007. With the success of the combined concepts, they expanded to include a catering division and finally in 2011 added the chocolate division to complete the concept now on offer, all tailor made to suit the needs of their elite clientele. “When seated in our restaurants, surrounded by the unique furniture and decorations hand-crafted by our in-house designers exclusively for Shakespeare & Co., you can’t help but feel you have been transported back to the Victorian era. You almost expect a Jester to pop out from behind the draping to serve you macaroons and petit fours!” commented Bachar Baath, Restaurant Manager. Shakespeare & Co. Qatar is a café restaurant with an assortment of all day breakfast, a wide variety of International lunch and dinner options, as well as hand crafted and wrapped chocolates offering various flavours of dark, milk and white chocolate, using only the finest chocolate from Belgium. Shakespeare & Co. believes the ‘old-fashioned way’ is the best, with most products derived from the original style patisserie with the original cooking techniques. They are committed to using only the freshest and highest quality ingredients in their dishes as well as artisanal methods. Shakespeare & Co. have created an environment that keeps customers wanting to come back to over and over again with an above-and-beyond friendly customer service and a warm hospitality atmosphere. Looking ahead to 2014, Shakespeare & Co. Qatar is opening a branch at The Pearl Qatar, which promises a unique dining experience. Eating out today is rarely just about the food; the scene, the socializing and the sense of a special atmosphere are equally important. At Shakespeare & Co, a simple meal seems that much more appetizing when paired with the appealing furniture handcrafted by their designers, luxurious finishes with great attention to details and alluring lighting.
