    Lovely cafe in a secluded spot with very nice interior and big windows . Great for relaxing, catching up with friends or work. We only stopped for coffee today which is very good. Will be back again to try the pizza and perhaps the burger and desserts as well. They have nice outdoor area as well. Very polite and professional staff. You can also buy Italian food items here.

    I went in Ramadan. Unfortunately, the ala carte menu was very limited as the Ramadan set menu was the main menu. I did order a margarita pizza. The crust was amazing, but the rest wasn't good! The tomato sauce was very oily and salty. The cheese seems of bad quality, it became hard and chewy while the pizza was still hot! Compared to the price, its size was good though. I highly recommend the cappuccino, it was among the best I had in Qatar and Italy. So smooth and very complex flavor and not doused with too much milk. My main complaint is the service. The waiters were nice but not there to serve customers. All customers (which were literally sitting on 3 tables only) were sitting outside, but 4-5 waiters were all inside just chatting and walking around as we can see from the full glass walls. It was impossible to get anyones attention. Very disrespectful and shows the employees have some issue with the restaurant to reach this level of carelessness.

    we had delicious lunch today that we really enjoyed a lot. the wild octopus was grilled to perfection, penne arrabiata, truffle pizza and ravioli cace e pepe with loads of truffle on top and the juicy salmon filet were extraordinary, not to mention the scrumptious desserts! The service was very friendly, polite and attentive and it is great, that you can bring your dog to the terrasse area too! we will definitely come back to explore more of the lovely italian menue.

    A fire station converted in to a chic cafe.. most base choices are Italian but some other offering too. Good food and good service. Nice place with outdoor seating too. Parking is ample, greenery all around and good food .. that works!

    I had a relaxed moment at the cafe which is adjacent to the art supply store at Fire Station. The atmosphere was an immediate and obvious element as people were meeting up prior to panel discussions, or art exhibitions at The Fire Station Art galleries. It had a bit of a pleasant buzz. The interior was cleverly created with local Qatari artists showing off their mural artworks and skills - it immediately gives a pleasant, enjoyable feeling to the place. The interior colours are modern, hip and vibrant yet classy and chic in an artistic way. The service was impeccable and attentive from start to finish. The menu is a newspaper which adds a feeling of informality, and comfortably easing into your meal. I had 'Tiramisu Our Way' and a cappuccino. The tiramisu was light and also a bit of a moment as they pour the coffee over the cake for you. The cappuccino was good (maybe a bit stronger than what cappuccinos traditionally should be - but this is something most restaurants misunderstand a bit). The pricing is fair and I will definitely visit again.

    Oh, it's wonderful to go there and enjoy a cup of coffee or have a proper meal with a green view of Al bidda Park. It is nice and quiet. The food was perfect and fresh. Staff was nice and welcoming.

    Cafe #999 is a taste of Italy in the heart of Doha's Art Hub. Merging the world of food and art, Café #999 brings together authentic Italian flavors and an artful experience that will charm fans of retro and pop art. You can expect classics like lasagne, mushroom risotto, and penne arrabbiata, and of course, pizzas made in the brick oven. The brick oven was given a makeover by Qatari artist Mubarak Al-Malik in his signature graffiti style. Elsewhere in the new-look space, interior designer Helene Bonte was heavily inspired by retro art, and you’ll find vibrant pop art patterns and colors throughout. I ordered the Gnocchi paglia e fieno: spinach, gorgonzola, and walnut along with the roasted wild octopus, cauliflower and smoked paprika. Everything was super delicious and the overall atmosphere was very cozy. If you're visiting the Fire Station for all things art, stop by the cafe for a bite!

    I had a lunch in the restaurant today and I found a very professional and customer service oriented staff. The food quality and presentation of it was simply outstanding and I must emphasize the fact that Chef Fabio really make the difference in the restaurant due to his dedication, passion and professionalism. I will definitely come back! Great job guys

    Quiet place to enjoy a breakfast gathering! The environmental is clean and neat,we were there early in the morning so it wasn’t crowded.Service was really nice and I was really impressed when I asked them to make a coffee that was not in the menu and they did! Also the kitchen/chef was really easy to accept and make alterations to menu dishes…quite a few of them,as we were a big party of ladies wanting specific things!! Really nice, I will definitely go back for a relaxed evening dinner in their outdoor space to try out their pizza and pasta,as after all they mostly serve Italian dishes!

    The place is really serene especially at sunset to night time. I love the atmosphere there. The staffs were so accommodating and always ask us if we needed something. The food was great too! Just right for its price. Will definitely come back.

    Great location, right next to Museum. There is a large park area also being developed next to the cafe which will only add to the ambience. Lovey to sit outside for a coffee (which were very good!) and listen to the water fountains. Food was less impressive. Eggs Benedict with Poached eggs were overdone and not runny, and I would expect more than a standard slice of bread with the crust cut off for accompaniment. A thick piece of sourdough perhaps. Ham (turkey) & cheese omelette tasted nice but came with sliced cheddar cheese on top.

  • 4/5 rishi k. 5 years ago on Google
    A lovely cafe with a gr8 views close to greenery and access to some really cool art-works. Located in a small compound which used to be fire-station but is now converted into a place almost dedicated for arts and creative enthusiasts. Having a small lil cafe with eye-soothing decor and cool views is a gr8 idea. The menu options itself r plenty and food has always been delicious. I am particularly a fan of their egg dishes for breakfast. Its indeed a nice place for an early morning breakfast and also for a late evening snack and coffee

    Really modern, urban and cool designed cafe. I loved the concept of it, the interior and the atmosphere. It's quiet and you can do some work while drinking coffee. There is outdoor sitting also if you are smoker. In this place I tried for the first time camel cofta and it was not bad at all. The service is good and definitely I will go there often for business meetings.

    It is a modern and chilled place in the backyard of the old Doha Firestation, which is now a cool museum. Relaxed and calm place with great view from the outdoors terrace. Friendly staff & food was delicious! Try the penne in pink sauce - yummy!

    Excellent the first time. Disappointed the second. The pizza was not enough cooked and the gnocchi very ordinary....

  • 5/5 Shibin C. 5 years ago on Google
    It's pretty good during a pleasent weather perhaps. Wouldn't recommend during the summer time ofcourse. Rates are slightly up compared to Starbucks or Costa but service is good otherwise

  • 4/5 Bilal Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Now an Italian restaurant.. food is top notch. Our attendant, Nicole, was attentive and friendly. Just a side comment: The supervisor was apparently scolding the cleaning staff while we were there. They were not far from our table. I didn’t feel that this was a respectful behavior neither to us as customers nor to the staff

  • 4/5 Camilo L. 3 years ago on Google
    We booked a table for 4 T minutes 20 and they had it available for us on arrival. We ordered one appetizer, two mains and 2 resets to share. The protagonist was my Zafran sparkling tea! Well balanced. Would have given them 5 stars if it wasn't for the timings. Gotta work a little bit on minimizing them. Would come back.

    Lovely ambience. Great service and delicious food. One of my favourite cafe in Doha

  • 1/5 Chris F. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a disappointment. I ate there yesterday for lunch... The menu is super limited and incredibly overpriced. And that cozy family vibe that had been described to me unfortunately got lost in the renovations.

👍👍 Cosy and peaceful restaurant to dine out. Food has texture, it's flavorful and very well presented like a piece of art. Mind-blowing service. Staff is very friendly and professional. They also have nice outside seating also. Yes it's bit pricey but it's actually worth paying. I highly recommend it.
