    Lunch with a friend should not become a weeklong gastrointestinal ordeal complete with ER visit and rehydration protocols. All they had to do was not to give us food poisoning. Fail. Unacceptable.

    When in Dubai we typically have breakfast at Eggspectation. Now that we have moved to Qatar, this was the first breakfast spot we went to... There's always a short wait but, the food is worth it. Keep in mind that the weekends are the busiest in both Qatar and Dubai. The menu is extensive so you will definitely find something that you like from the below sections.

    Great location, with plenty of parking space close by. The ambience inside is beautiful. Bright, happy and hospitable staff. A wide selection of different foods. Portions are large. I ordered the southwest omelette, pancake and French toast with fruits. All tasted great, and prices are reasonable. I’d definitely return on a weekend for breakfast.

    To begin with, although it’s a Canadian franchise it is not as eggspected. I’ve been to their branch in downtown Toronto and had an amazing experience. I ordered the breakfast extravaganza.. where the egg was not extravagant at all! A 3 year old would make a better omelette. Sausages were tasty but the plate was filled with potato bites. The walnut and banana pancakes were gigantic and yum. Hence, the 3 stars for those pancakes. The french toast was dry and i had to order strawberries, nutella and whipped cream on the side. Same for the pancakes. Coming to the ambience, it’s not great. The staff is courteous and the waiting time isn’t much however, I wouldn’t return to this place again.

    Best place to have breakfast all day. I love the variety of eggs. They literally have 3 pages of egg dishes. The ice coffee is delicious too. The portions are great for the value. Quick service. I recommend it if you want a nice brunch on the weekends. It's located at the pearl.

    The location is fantastic, parkings are very near. The food and service is really good. Anything with smoked salmon is recommended. The portions of their french toasts and pancakes are big!

    Famous for breakfast. Lunch and dinner also well here. Smoked salmon with quinoa are must try here. Sheri sheri shrimp piza, steak frites, fiery chimichuri steak taken my heart away. From appetizer to dessert are so good and remarkable with quantity served. Highly remarkable for breakfast and dinner with loved ones.

    Good breakfast spot while you are at The Pearl. Lots of options to choose from and I actually took a while to finally decide what to get. I ended up getting their french toast as I felt like having carbs and some fruits. The syrup was already “topped” on my order but you can choose to have it on the side. Toast was nicely cooked but I guess I should’ve just gotten the syrup on the side so I could have some control over the sweetness. They have good pancakes and fresh juices as well. Indoor decor is nice, open and spacious perfect even for larger groups.

    50 QAR for such a huge salad is a real good price tag. I love the calm atmosphere and the service was friendly and very fast. My recommendation.

    This was a very nice place to stop by for breakfast. This was our first time, so both my husband and I got egg dishes (naturally). I really enjoyed the potatoes, and the omelette was pretty good (little bit overcooked but tasted nice). My husband was very pleased with his smoked salmon eggs benedict (finally - a place that can soft poach an egg!). We also ordered juices. Both were very nice, though they needed to blend my green light a bit more (I had to chew at times, which is rather odd). Will return and we recommend it!

    I walked in ‘ Egg’specting a menu focused on eggs and ‘Eggs’periments but was surprised by the wide range of food choices that this restaurant offers and that too with a generous portion size. Good food paired with a lively environment and friendly staff is a place my family and I would definitely want to visit often. Thanking Mubarak for helping us out to choose the right dishes for the evening.

    Franchise Canadian resturant offering an erray of dishes to meet most tastes with eggs at the center of most of them. The food was good and portions large. Prices are acceptable given the overall experience. Thanks to Dwi who waited on us, polite and efficient.

    Ordered the chimichrri steak with fries and it was a lot nicer than I expected. Would 100% go back.

  • 2/5 Tee S. 2 years ago on Google
    Sadly, Eggspectation did not quite meet our expectations! Seeing pictures in the reviews is what attracted me to the hotel. It is a cafe designed in the style of an old-fashioned canteen. I like its pleasant atmosphere, and the staff are polite, courteous, and friendly. Unfortunately, some of our orders were inedible, despite the attractive presentation. Not only did the french toast taste like eggy bread, but it was also soggy. I also found the pancakes to be a chest-clenching experience. I finally gave up eating them before I choked on them after several attempts. They are essentially thick, heavy, dry cakes! Though I had been offered a less expensive breakfast, I was still charged full price for the pancake breakfast that I had not eaten!

    This place is quite popular and has a great brunch vibe to it, especially on the weekends. Food is absolutely delicious and fairly priced. Yhe menu is also quite extensive, so you're guaranteed to find something you like. The staff are welcoming and accommodating.

  • 5/5 Priya S. 2 years ago on Google
    Ambience, taste and quality of food is excellent. Had a lovely time with friends. They also have kid friendly menu.

  • 4/5 Paul E. 1 year ago on Google
    Have always enjoyed Eggspectation but today was a little let down. Had the Chicken Benedict and unfortunately they had over cooked the potatoes and they really were not very nice. They also over the potatoes on my wife's food as well, we did mention it to them and yes they did cook us fresh potatoes but it did spoil the meal. A big shame, but we will go back again as we have been there many times and always enjoyed our food. So don't be to sown beat about it as we all can make a mistake. Let's hope the next time we visit they cook the potatoes correctly the 1st time.

  • 5/5 Alberto A. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent options for breakfast with family and friends. I only wish they had bookings. Otherwise 9.00am is a good time to get a table.

  • 5/5 Jheny S. 2 years ago on Google
    The best eggs benedict I’ve tried in Qatar. Love the Smoked Salmon Benny, the Chicken Benedict, their brewed coffee that is refill.. For me is the best breakfast option at the Pearl.

  • 4/5 Wendell G. 2 years ago on Google
    I went to this restaurant for a company outing and the overall experience was pretty good. The restaurant is located on the Pearl of Qatar so there are a lot of hotels and things to do close by. There is also a lot of parking in close proximity so you want have to walk very far. The food was good and the restaurant staff are friendly. There is also plenty of seating if you have a large group.

  • 4/5 Dalal M. 1 year ago on Google
    Eggspectation is a Canadian restaurant in Doha, Qatar 🇶🇦, which has an artisanal concept and egg-focused breakfast menu 🍳. It is also big and heavy portions 🤷🏻‍♀️. My family and I went for breakfast. We order variety of dishes. I personally don’t eat eggs. I know I shouldn’t say anything because it is an egg based restaurant. There is not much to order for someone who doesn’t eat eggs, but what caught my eyes is the veggie crepe, the rest of my family ordered, cheddar omelette, Mykonos omelette 🍳 , club sandwich 🥪 and waffles 🧇 🍓 . We had black coffee ☕️ and tea 🍵 which was fine but the coffee was very strong. I liked it but my cousin didn’t. I guess it depends on the persons taste 👅. We went on a Saturday (weekend) which was very very busy. We liked the experience and my cousin said that the turkey club sandwich was not that good but the rest of our food was nice. The Waffles 🧇 was good as a dessert 🍨. I personally wouldn’t go again because I felt that the food is heavy for my liking but my cousins who ordered omelette love it and would for sure comeback. I hope I was a good help 🌺🍓☀️

  • 5/5 Ivana P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing breakfast and good service, first time here back since corona, everything reminds good as I remember. This is probably best time of the year to come, and sit outside because weather is amazing. Also great place for family with kids. My favorite is Mykonos omelette!

  • 3/5 Kristen N. 4 months ago on Google
    Food was subpar but I would go back to try other things on the menu. Recommend getting a pancake though. The maple syrup was delicious.

    It was amazing to have breakfast at Eggspectation. I love the variety of the menu and the prices are very affordable. Always a lovely atmosphere and filled with people. Highly recommend it if you’re in the Pearl.

  • 4/5 Alfred G. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed the breakfast experience. The eggs and bacon were a good meal. Would have like some more hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict. The French toast was just above average, could do with some more sauce and felt slightly dry. The vibe at the place is really nice and the staff were efficient. The crowds at the place on a weekend, clearly show how it is a sought after place for weekend breakfast in Doha. Definitely recommended !!

  • 5/5 Carlos A. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place to have a breakfast in Doha. And this Green Light juice was the bomb. Perfect combination of Spinach, apple, fresh ginger and mint.

  • 4/5 Toksy B. 2 years ago on Google
    First time at Eggspectation. Eggcited about the menu so was unsure of what to try first but I enjoyed a popular dish. Massive plate of food. I enjoyed it but did not really like the lyonnaise potatoes. The staff were attentive, courteous and friendly.

  • 4/5 colin w. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good food and fruit drinks. Excellent Breakfast selection on menu mostly egg based. Favourite is Egg Benny with salmon. Fresh fruit juice orange and mango. Good friendly service. Good value. Best to eat in as it was fly season outside

  • 3/5 Yahia A. 4 months ago on Google
    Average place with a twist of average taste of food. Maybe the disappointment came cause I had high expectations for the omelettes based on my friend’s recommendations. Staff are friendly although working hours on Fridays is a bit of a stretch

  • 5/5 Pelin A. 7 months ago on Google
    A perfect place for egg lovers, everything is delicious, portions are big

  • 4/5 Nour S. 7 months ago on Google
    Wanted to give it a try. Nice location and atmosphere, friendly staff but the food less than the average, nothing special at all. If you're looking for the real Egg Benedict like the ones in Australia, you'll be disappointed.

  • 2/5 Heba M. 8 months ago on Google
    Well, food is great as well the ambiance. But this restaurant needs to find a way to be open some time before the Friday prayer, last order is at 10.30am on Friday!!! Which is pretty hard to most of the people to wake up early on their weekend and go make it before 10.30 on place. I wish the management considers this issue as many other restaurants at the Pearl and in Qatar generally, are open just before the Friday prayer (11:50pm)

  • 5/5 Nas 4 years ago on Google
    Service was lovely, atmosphere very relaxed Reccomend: southwest sunrise if you're in the mood for an omelette (they are accommodating to ingredients you want to add such as smoked salmon etc) and the California dreaming Benedict

  • 2/5 Steffen S. 3 years ago on Google
    Eggspectations did not quite meet my expectations. You only ever have one chance at ‘first impressions’. I had a latte to start with; it came in a hot chocolate glass, and it looked and tasted like an americano with a lot of milk. I then had a tropical teaser juice. It tasted of banana mixed with orange juice which was a bit underwhelming. My main dish was California Dreaming (eggs Benedict with smoked salmon). The eggs were fantastically cooked, nice and soft, and the salmon was tasty if only the whole dish had not been so salty. Even the toasted sourdough bread that came with it on the place and the pieces of fruit, which made for a nice decorative effect, were salty. It may just have been a mistake but it felt like the whole plate was showered in salt before serving. The service in the restaurant is nice, efficient and pleasant.

    Very good quality and taste of food and beverages, and great customer service from the staff. However it was not possible to book a table at 8am (it had to be done only at 7am or 9am, and I don't understand the reason why since the place was not full at all). The ambiance of the place is nice however very hot in summer (AC doesn't seem to cool sufficiently).
