Mango Tree

Mango Tree first opened its doors in the heart of Bangkok in 1994. Since then branches have opened in London, a stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace, and in the shadow of the Burj Khalifia in Dubai. It seems fitting, then, that the latest Mango Tree is set upon the prestigious Pearl-Qatar and has breathtaking views across the Arabian Gulf. The newest eatery on the Pearl is spacious, simple and modern in design. Inside, dark wood furnishings are comfortable and well positioned, and tables are adorned with tea lights, which cast a subtle glow across the restaurant. The impressive grey stone feature wall draws the eye. Long strands of glass baubles in varying sizes flank 10 lifelike models of fish, which create an illusion of swimming across this distinctive design. The beautifully appointed terraced area features wicker furniture, and hurricane lamps protect candles from the sea breeze. It’s the perfect time of year for al fresco dining, and it’s busy the night we dine. Serving staff scurry to and from the large, open-plan kitchen, where several chefs are busy preparing tempting Thai cuisine, creating mouthwatering aromas that drift on the night air and pique our appetites.
