Chef Nobuyuki (Nobu) Matsuhisa and Academy Award-winning actor Robert De Niro, both legends, lit up Doha’s skyline at Nobu Doha’s "A Night with Nobu & De Niro" event, recently.
The celebratory event attracted an exclusive audience of 400 guests, all of whom mixed and mingled with the two legends to commemorate Nobu’s momentous debut in Doha.
The extraordinary evening included performances by a celebrated Japanese taiko drum troupe, international sensation DJ Soma, traditional Japanese Kagami Biraki ceremony, and exquisite Nobu cuisine.
Located at the water’s edge along the hotel’s private marina, Nobu Doha showcases Chef Matsuhisa’s signature new-style Japanese cuisine complemented by an equally imaginative setting in the 26,000 square-foot Rockwell Group-designed contemporary restaurant.
Offering a truly exclusive culinary experience, found nowhere else, the tri-level Nobu Doha boasts the largest of its kind in the world and is the only Nobu at a Four Seasons in the Middle East.
