La Veranda’s new Chef de Cuisine, Chef Marouane Rahali

Before joining Sheraton Grand Doha, Chef Marouane has worked in several destinations, including Italy, England, Brussels, and Oman. With previous experience in a Michelin star restaurant, his cuisine is a fusion of his roots and the exotic flavours from the lands he has lived in, resulting in an authentic and delicious blend of simplicity and creativity on a plate.

Holding several degrees, Chef Marouane studied Gastronomy at the Umea University School of Restaurant and Culinary Art in Sweden and Hotel and Restaurant Management at the Institute of Maggia in Italy. He also had a series of training in international cuisines.

Passion and creative mindset for food

Chef Marouane was born and raised in Casorate Sempione, Italy, where his energetic passion and creative mindset for food started.

I want my guests to experience real Italian food and I am very excited to share my interpretation of Italian cuisine with our La Veranda guests.

Chef Marouane uses strictly selected top-grade seasonal ingredients for each dish to enhance the original flavours of top-notch Italian cuisine.

With his appointment comes changes in the La Veranda menu. Chef Marouane’s philosophy is to create food with strict authentic recipes, further developing his skills by using indigenous fresh produce.

Chef has a knack for doing things differently. For instance, his tiramisu, which is served at La Veranda, is a must-have as it is uniquely done in a de-constructed fashion. It is guaranteed to send a roller coaster of flavours to your taste buds with all the different elements and textures involved in the dish.

La Veranda welcomes guests for lunch from 12 pm to 3 pm and for dinner from 7 pm to 11:30 pm. On Fridays, their popular brunch serves from 12:30 pm until 4 pm.
