A spectacular event was held for the opening of YUN, a new restaurant offering an authentic Cantonese and Taishanese dining experience, at Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay.

Ambassadors and VIPs mixed with other guests on the rooftop of the 44-floor tower, which offered breathtaking views of the city skyline, and sampled Chinese delicacies with a contemporary twist, meticulously prepared by YUN Executive Chef Victor Zhong.

The festivities included a Qanoon performer and a DJ set as well as a traditional fan dance performance evoking the glamorous1930s era.

“We are immensely proud to introduce YUN to the market,” said General Manager Andreas Jersabeck.

“The elegant decor and the vibrant ambience made the opening night a truly memorable event. YUN promises a beautiful blend of heritage and Taishanese cuisine exclusively to the plates of Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay.”

Attendees were treated to a curated tasting menu featuring some of YUN’s favourites such as Wagyu beef consommé truffle dumplings at the dim sum live station, followed by Peking duck, and a variety of gastronomic pass arounds: steamed red bean bao, deep-fried shrimp with golden mango dressing and more, all crafted with the freshest ingredients and traditional techniques.

YUN is open from noon to midnight, every Tuesday to Saturday.
